HEMLOCKS — A Leading Specialty 
at Barr’s 
The Hemlock with its graceful branches, and beau- 
tiful, neat, needle foliage can well be made the basis 
of many fine plantings. Its informality of outline is 
particularly pleasing. On the open lawn it makes a 
handsome specimen, but wherever planted it is never 
out of place. Will remain small many years if 
sheared regularly. 
TSUGA canadensis, 60-80 ft. 
Canada Hemlock

spreading branches makes of it a magnificent tree. 
It is the State Tree of Pennsylvania. For speci- 
men planting or in groups on the open lawn, or 
for hedges.

When Building A New Home 
It is advisable to budget 5 percent for landscaping. Real estate men agree an investment of 5 
percent of the cost of the house in Evergreens, Trees, and Shrubs increases the value at least 10 percent and 
your enjoyment of your home to an immeasurable extent. 
At the very beginning of operations put aside the amount you propose spending for landscaping. With- 
out good landscaping a house gives the appearance of “something wanting,” or not being finished. 
We shall be pleased to furnish estimates and sketches on contemplated plantings without cost. Our 
61 years experience is yours for the asking.
