As^hor Vibz — Tom. ^'AwmJ.-T-Botanically this has no distinct 

 designation,, but; the plant is distinct, and for a compact symmet- 

 ricalgiower it has no equal It deserves a place in every man's 

 grounds, and thousands of them should be used in cemeteries. 

 It originated in EUwanger & Barry's gardens, Rochester, N. Y. 



A^hor Vitce — Chinese:— ^ome place this as botanically Biota, 

 instead of Thuja. In many sections it is one of our most 

 delicate shrub evergreen trees,, and may be; trained to any form. 

 It often browns in winter, but with careful clipping in early 

 spring it comes out beautiful with its clear light green. We 

 have grown it conical, oval, flat and rounjded.

 more dwarf and compact in its natural form. It is hardy.

 many more of these, but when we work, for the benefit of the 

 public we dp not feel, like wasting, timfi. noting naveltiesT

Cypress— Cupressus Lawsoniana.—^}^s is one of the most 

 graceful of evergreen trees. It is not, however, fully liardy in 

 ai locations, but deserves a place where some other evergreens 

 sliade and protect it from the sun in winter. Like the Chinese 

 Arbor Vitse it requires to have the ends of some of the twigs 

 clipped: in spring.. 



There are several other varieties more erect and compact 

 One AS^^^ciutis, among the be^t McNabiana has glaneous leaves.
