This from the moist climate of Northern California, Oregon, and Wash-ton territory, is just suited to the very similiar climate of England and other countries bordering the eastern side of the Gulf Stream. It is said to be by all odds much the best of all their foreign trees. In the eastern portion of the United States it will scarcely live, and is of no value for forestry purposes. The variety that comes from the Rocky Mountains is perfectly hardy, but has not the lofty, rapid growing character of its Pacific coast brother; and though an admirable ornament for an Eastern garden, is believed to be of no value for forestry purposes where other much more rapid growing trees take its place. The Hemlock is the great spruce lumber tree of the Eastern Atlantic, and possibly no tree can well take its place. On the other hand the Hemlock has been found of no value for forestry purposes anywhere in the old world that we know of.
