Arborvitae 
This class of ever- 
greens can readily be 
distinguished from pines 
and spruces because of 
the flattened foliage, 
which has a tendency to 
set on edge, particularly 
with certain varieties. 
None of the arborvite 
get very large, and all 
excepting the western are 
slow growers; this makes 
them valuable when 
space is limited and when 
you want trees that will 
stay small. The golden 
colors of some of the 
varieties, together with 
their pyramidal form, 
make them specially 
adapted for planting as 
specimens. © Arborvite 
makes wonderful hedges 
and rarely do we find 
a planting of any size 
where some variety is 
not used. 
American "ye 
OCCi- 
; dentalis). While this 
ita variety is well 
American Arborvite adapted for speci- 
mens, for massing, 
and for screens, its most valuable use seems to be in hedge 
plantings. It grows rapidly 
during the first three or four 
years, but after that it develops 
very slowly, and ifi twenty or 
thirty years it seldom attainsa 
height of more than 30 feet. 
In summer the foliage is bright 
green above and yellowish be- 
neath; in winter the foliage 
changes to bronzy hues.
