NEW DWARF ARBOR VIT^E— TOM THUMB. 



Thuya. 



*TOM THUMB. Anew dwarf va- 

 riety of the American Arbor Vitas, 

 originated on our grounds a few 

 years ago ; remarkable for its slow 

 growth, and compact symmetrical 

 habit. 

 We have no hesitation in recommend- 

 ing it as an acquisition of much value in 

 the class of small hardy evergreens, for 

 the decoration of Gardens, Lawns or 

 Cemeteries, where large trees may net be 

 admissible. Will be found useful for 

 small evergreen hedges. $1. See cut. 

 *ERICOIDES. A new dwarf variety 

 with heath-like foliage ; forms a 

 dense little shrub. $1. 



Thuya. 



*GLOBOSA. A new variety of the 

 American, originated at Philadel- 

 phia ; forms a dense round shrub.

*Washingtonia, (GIGANTEA.) The 



celebrated " Big Tree " of Califor- 

 nia. " Wellingtonia," of the Eng- 

 lish, and ''Sequoia," of the French 

 — one of the most majestic trees in 

 the world. Specimens have been 

 measured upwards of 300 feet in 

 height, and 32 feet in diameter, at 

 3 feet from the ground. $2 to 5.
