Tsuga mertensiana (Mountain Hemlock) 
This magnificent conifer is native of the Cascade mountains of western 
United States and Canada. In its natural habitat it is seldom found below 
an elevation of 3000 feet except in the more northern areas and braves the 
cold to timber line. In the loftier situations it becomes very slender and alpine 
in habit of growth and often verges into a pleasing blue. While native to 
the colder, more rugged areas, it thrives at the lower levels. Lovely either in 
groups or as specimen trees. The hemlocks as a whole are a most beautiful 
group of evergreens but the Mountain Hemlock may be said to be the hand- 
somest of them all and is often considered to be the West’s most beautiful 
alpine conifer. Each 10 100 1000

Umbellularia californica (Oregon Myrtle} 
A handsome hardy evergreen tree, 25 to 30 feet in height and sometimes 
reaching 75 feet. Native of southern Oregon and northern California where it 
reaches its greatest perfection of growth along the streams and valleys of the 
coast range. The tree is conical in form and the leaves are highly aromatic. 
Well adapted to hedges. Sargent has described the Myrtle as “one of the 
stateliest and most beautiful inhabitants of North American forests, and no — 
evergreen tree of temperate regions surpasses it in the beauty of its dark 
dense crown of lustrous foliage’

Vaccinium ovatum (Evergreen Huckleberry) 
First discovered by the Lewis and Clark expedition at the mouth of the 
Columbia river in 1805. One of the great beauties of the plant is the thick, 
waxy leaves, of blended shades of green in spring and summer, and chang- 
ing to a mixture of deep crimson and bronze in fall and winter. Its winter 
and spring colors utterly defy description. It is a rounded plant, many 
branched and of unusual density. Strong, vigorous grower, and stands un- 
limited shearing. Can be sheared into a hedge from 1 to 5 feet tall. Does well 
in either sun or shade, but is at its best in partly shaded exposures. A hardy 
evergreen shrub of surpassing merit and a fine hedge plant. Berries small 
but abundant and of fine flavor.

Vaccinium vitis idaea (Mountain Cranberry) 
We brought our propagating stock by air from the Arctic Circle, north of 
Fairbanks, Alaska. Coming from this extreme northern country insures its 
hardiness anywhere against cold. A choice little ground cover having small, 
delicate leaves, pink bell flowers and small conspicuous bright red berries 
in the fall. Grows to a height of 6 inches in a compact mass of pleasing 
foliage. Has glossy evergreen leaves which turn beautiful bronze and red 
late in the year. Rare and very choice among dwarfs.
