EVERGREENS.

AMERICAN ARBOR VITH OR WHITE CEDAR.—A native tree and extremely hardy. Growth
very rapid and the timber very durable and valuable for fence posts, railroad ties, lumber,
shingles, ete., combining strength, lightness, and above all durability. Although found in
its native state in swamps and on low ground, it thrives on all kinds,of soils, and is consid-
ered by planters hardier than any other nee evergreen. It makes a beautiful lawn tree.
and for hedges it cannot be excelled. For general planting we would recommend it above
all other varieties. &

BAsam Frr.—A small tree native to the United tates. Its growth is rapid, form com-
pact and conical, and foliage of a dark, rich greencolor. The wood decays quickly, on which
account it is of little value. A very aromatic liquid rosin called Canada Balsam is obtained
from it. The Balsam Fir is in great demand for ornamental planting. "

AustRIAN Pine.—Introduced from Europe, the Black Pine of Austria has found a place
among our evergreens here. It is a stout, robust tree, fairly rapid grower, and very healthy
appearing, Used for ornamental planting, shelter, belts, etc. The foliage is a dark rich

green color.

NORWAY oR RED Prnn.—Native to the norther portion of the U.S. to Canada; it grows
50 to 80 feetin height. Its timber is especially valued for spiles and for bridge building, being
very straight, stiff and sound. It is much planted for ornament. Its leaves are 4 to 6 inches
long and of a dark green color.

Scores Prinze. One of our most rapid growers while young, it is hardy in @ereat variety
of soils. Particularly valuable for planting in poor, sandy soils, Ne other ae would
not flourish. It is also used for timber screens, etc.

WHITH PINE.— Without doubt this is our most valuable fener tree. The pine lumber of
commerce is mostly the product of this species. At maturity it is a tree of gigantic propor-

tions, often over six feet in diameter and 150 feetin height. It is being planted extensively

in Europe, where it is considered superior to any of theirnative species. It is of very rapid
growth, and while it will not grow as rapidly as the Scotch Pine for the first five years, still
at the end of ten years it far excells it. Fleurishing in the poorest soils, it thrives almost
anywhere. Besides forest planting, it is very valuable for ornamental purposes, screens, etc.

AMERICAN SPRUCE.—This beautiful native tree is now being much used for ornamental
planting. Naturally found in low, moist situations, it thrives nevertheless on most soils and
is very hardy. Planted beside the Balsam Fir, which it resembles in shape, though more
compact, its silvery green foliage contrasts very beautifully with the dark green of the latter.
Its timber is used in makine@Pusical instruménts and for nianufacturing into pulp for paper
making. We would suggest a trial of this variety. a

HeEmuLock SPRUCH.—A well known native tree found in the Northern States and Canada.

As found in the forests, standing close together or intermingled with other varieties, it often

presents a nude and unsightl¥ appearance, but where seen standing alone, its long, slender
branches drooping gracefully to the ground, withthe rich dark green of its foliage varied by
the glaucousness of the under side of the leaves, it presents a most beautiful appearance
indeed. Preferring a gravelly though rather moist situation, it thrives in all but very heavy
or dry soils. Asa hedge, the Hemlock Spruce is greatly admired, bearing the shears well,
growing thriftily and very dense, and being of a rich dark green color. Its lumber, though
inferior to White Pine, is much used for building and its bark for tanning purposes. ;
NORWAY SPRUCH.—This tree, of foreign jntroduction, is so well known thai it is only

‘necessary to say that it thrives in all kinds of soils, is a very vigorous grower, and is used for
hedges, wind breaks, etc., as well as ornamental planting.
