TAXUS (The Yews) 
All except one of these Yews are of 
foreign origin; but they have assumed a 
place of importance amongst our hardy 
planting material. Of relatively slow 
growth, with good substance and color that 
remains unchanged throughout the Winter, 
the Japanese varieties can be depended 
upon to grow successfully in many difficult 
spots where other evergreens would be 
unreliable.

black-green foliage the year round. At 
home in either sun or shade and ex- 
tremely tolerant of unfavorable soil or 
atmospheric conditions.

THUJA (The Arborvitaes) 
The Arborvitae hardly needs an intro- 
duction, so familiar has it become to garden 
lovers everywhere. As a family it is versa- 
tile in the many handsome forms and va- 
rieties it offers for the beautification of our 
New England homes and gardens. Ample 
moisture and sunlight are its chief 
requisites.

TSUGA (The Hemlocks) 
Of all our native evergreens, the Hem- 
lock is outstanding for a certain graceful 
elegance that adapts it to a wide range of 
uses, ornamental as well as utilitarian. 
When given room to develop, it grows into 
a big, shapely tree; but it may be confined 
by shearing to conform with the heavier 
parts of a foundation-group, under which 
conditions it becomes compact and dense. 
Hemlock is one of the best evergreens for a 
hedge. Naturally a tree of the deep woods, 
the Hemlock is not always a success when 
planted in a wind-swept situation. 
Canadensis (Canada Hemlock). The na- 
tive Hemlock of the northern states, 
commonly used for ornamental planting, 
hedges, and_ screens. Svmmetrical, 
rapid growth; responds readily to prun- 
ing or close shearing.
