In that part of Woburri Abbey 



Park called the Kvergreens, said to 



have been planted bv Miller, the cele- 



1 author of the Gardener's Dic- 



tion a he seen some remark- 



ably fine specimens of this tree. In 



North America it is found wild as far 



forty-fourth and forty-fifth de- 



lichaux observes, that it be- 



I common, and diminishes in 



s it retires from the sea-coast. In 



favourable situations, as in the middle 



of small islands, and on the borders 



of the narrow sounds that flow be- 



tut-en them and the main, it is forty 



and forty-five feet in height, and 



twelve or fourteen inches in diameter. 



The wood is fragrant and fine Drained, 



strong and durable. In America, the 



wood is not plentiful, and is reserved 



for those more important purposes 



for which these properties are most 



required. 



The white cedar* grows naturally in

ttuni to >eventy and eighty 



feet in lic-ight. The wood is lighter 



than that of the red cedar, and is less 



durable. It is of slow growth in 



Knghmd, and even in its native soil, 



for Michaux counted two hundred 



innual growths in 



t-nty-one inches in dia- 



.. The wood is fabricated into 



pails, wash-tubs, and chums.

Time of sowing the seeds Spring, or as 

 soon as the seeds are ripe. Sow in 

 pots filled with a mixture of peat and 

 loam. The plants are, howevei 

 rally propagated by layers the first 

 sort sometimes by cuttings. Soil 

 Moist, sandy loams suit these trees 

 best : they however attain to fine trees 

 even in damp clayey soils, or in dry 

 sandy soils. Uses They are orna- 

 mental evergreens for the fronts of 

 plantations. The American arbor- 

 vitae is the only species which comes 

 properly under the notice of the forest- 

 planter. The value of the wood is 

 considerable ; it is slightly odorous, 

 very light and soft grained. In Canada, 

 according to Michaux, it holds the 

 first place for durability. Fences 

 made of it last three or four times as 

 long as those of any other species. 

 The leaves are made into a salve with 

 hog's lard, and used in Canada for 

 rheumatic pains.
