Japanese Thread-like Cypress (C. phifera var.filifera). — 

 More beautiful than the last and equally hardy. It is of 

 light-green color with thread-like terminal branches and 

 very graceful and perfect in form. One of the most desir- 

 able of evergreens of medium size. Japanese plumed 

 cypress, C. pisifera var. plumosa, Fig. ii6, foliage rather 

 more beautiful than last two but not quite as hardy. 



American Arbor- vitse {Thuya occidentalis). — A native 



Fig. 117. — Group of Arbor-vitae and Flowering Apple. 



tree of beautiful form and color while young, but soon 

 becomes irregular and tends to lose its lower branches as it 

 increases in age. It has produced a great many beautiful 

 forms, some of which are much more valuable than the 

 original t\^e. It should not be planted where there is very 

 great exposure to prevailing winds or where teams, persons, 

 or animals will come in contact with it during the winter.
