are  hardier,  grow  larger  and  are  more  generally  useful  than  the  Biota  or  Eastern 
species,  which  are  yet  so  beautiful  that  they  are  well  worth  a  little  care  in  protection. 
The  leaf  forms  of  most  species  are  as  beautiful  as  those  of  rare  ferns.  Their  early 
summer  growth  is  particularly  beautiful.  We  oQer  a  superb  stock  of  all  the  finer  and 
more  useful  species.  The  Dwarf  Arborvitaes  are  fine  bushy  specimens  of  their 
respective  heights.
