American Arborvitae makes "woridefully fine hedges. 



Arborvitae 



This class of evergreens can readily be distinguished from 

 pines and spruces becau-e of the flattened foliaKf. whir-h has ;i 

 tendency to set on edge, particularly with certain varieties. 

 None of the arborvitae get very large, and all excepting the west- 

 ern are slow growers ; this makes them valuable when space is 

 limited and when you want trees that will stay small. Tlu' 

 golden colors of some of the varieties, together with their pyra- 

 midal form, make them specially adapted for planting as speci- 

 mens. Arborvitfp makes wonderful hedges and rarely do we find 

 a planting of any size where some varietj' is not used. 



American (Thuya occidcyttnlJs) . "V\hilp this variety is well 



adapted for specimens, for massing, and for screens, 



its most valuable u>e seems to be in hedge plantings. It 

 grows rapidly during the first three or four years, but after 

 that it develops very .slowly, and in twenty or thirty years 

 it seldom attains a height of more than 80 feet. In summer 

 the foliage is bright green above and yellowish beneath : in 

 winter the foliage changes to bronzy hues.
