THE AMERICAN ARBOR VIT^. 



This is a hardy handsome bush or low tree, well adapted for hedges and screens. In 

 most parts of the West no Evergreen trees are to be seen in the forests or by the roadside, 

 hence there is more occasion for planting them in gardens and door yards, to relieve the 

 monotony of landscapes in winter, and for the same reason Evergreens are regarded as 

 imparting more of an air of taste and refinement to a residence than other species of trees 

 and shrubbery.
