Hemlock Spruce Abies canadensis

The Hemlock Spruce, or, as it is more commonly called, the Hemlock (A. canadensis), is one of the finest and most distinct of this tribe of trees. It is most abundantly multiplied in the extreme northern portions of the Union; and abounds more or less, in scattered groups and thickets, throughout all the middle states, while at the south it is confined chiefly to the mountains.
