Arborvitae 



This class of evergreens can readily be distinguished from 

 pines and spruces because of the flattened foliage, which lias a 

 tendency to set on edge, particularly with certain varieties. 

 Xone 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. The 

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

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

 mens. Arborvitae makes wonderful hedges and rarely do we find 

 a planting of any size where some variety is not used. 



American (Thuya occidentalis) . While 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 .30 feet. In summer 

 the foliage is bright green above and yellowish beneath : in 

 winter the foliage changes to bronzy hues.

CHINESE (Biota orientalis). The outline of the tree is similar to 

 our native arborvitae, but the foliage is more delicately cut and 

 in some cases a deeper green.
