American Arborvitae makes wondefully fine hedges. 
Arborvitae 
This class of evergreens 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 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. Arborvite 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 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 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.

our native arborvitae, but the foliage is more delicately cut and 
in some cases a deeper green.
