ally produced and seventy to eighty per cent of them come from 

 the Western Arhor-Yitae. 



This is the species that is apt to be confused with the Japanese 

 Arbor-Yitae. Close comparison, however, will show that the 

 foliaged-branching of the latter is not so dense and that the scaly 

 leaves end in short thick triangular points directed outward rather 

 than in long fine free points parallel to the twig. 



The next lower tree a bit to the right is 



Thuja occidentalis var. spiralis, the Spiral Arbor-Vitae 



This is one of the distinct forms in the Garden, characterized 

 by the twisted arrangement of the dense foliage fronds. 



The next two bushy evergreens by the inner road and one by 

 the outer road are American Globe Arbor-Vitae. 



Scattered over the area before us now are nine small trees which 

 in spring stand out very conspicuously by their bright yellowish 

 foliage. They are 

 Thuja occidentalis var. lutea, the Golden Peabody Arbor-Vitae 



This is one of the finest forms in this Garden. Throughout the 

 summer it is brilliantly yellow. 



The next four darker trees with shorter and somewhat twisted 

 foliage are the Spiral Arbor-Vitae. Two are along the outer road 

 and the other two in the center close to the last of the Golden 

 Peabody Arbor-Yitae. A fifth one we have passed by the outer 

 road near the first Golden Peabody Arbor-Vitae. 



The next broader tree by the outer road, whose center has been 

 removed, is 



Thuja occidentalis var. alba, the White-tipped Arbor-Vitae 



This variety has white-tipped foliage during a portion of the 

 summer. Otherwise it is indistinguishable from the common form. 



Between it and the inner road is 



Thuja occidentalis var. elegantissima 



This is another yellowish form. A second specimen stands next 

 beyond and more in the middle. 



To the left of this last is an American Arbor-Yitae and to the 

 right is 



Thuja plicata var. atrovirens, the Dark Giant Arbor-Vitae
