INCLUDING  BIOTA 
All  forms  transplant  so  readily,  are  so  neat,  compact,  and,  in  many  cases,  so 
brightly  colored  that  landscape  gardeners  use  them  in  a  dozen  different  ways:  For 
contrastive  grouping,  bedding  and  bordering,  for  cemetery  and  lawn  specimens,  hedges, 
screens,  etc.,  and  also  for  house  decorations.    The  American  or  Western  Arborvitaes
