THUYA  occidentalis.  American  Arborvit.^:. 
This  tree  is  a  strong,  hardy  grower,  of  pyram- 
idal habit,  and  just  the  thing  to  plant  as  a  screen 
about  clothes  -  yards,  objectionable  buildings, 
fences,  etc.,  as  well  as  a  blind  to  unsightly  ob- 
jects of  any  kind.  If  desired,  it  will  attain  a 
height  of  18  to  20  feet,  but  may  be  kept  within 
smaller  bounds.  It  is  a  fast  grower,  with  soft, 
light  green  foliage.  loo

splendid  hedge  plant  is  not  dependable  in  the

DECIDUOUS  HEDGE  PLANTS 
BERBERIS  Thunbergii.  Japanese  Barberry. 
One  of  the  best  hedge  plants  in  cultivation.  A 
good,  hardy  grower  of  low,  dense  growth.  The 
slender  branches  are  prickly  with  small  thorns, 
and  tend  to  make  a  defensive  hedge  that  few 
animals  will  attempt  to  penetrate.  It  grows 
rapidly  to  a  height  of  about  4  feet,  withstands 
shearing  and  becomes  more  dense  and  compact 
when  so  treated.  It  is  particularly  ornamental ; 
tiny,  brilliant  leaves  adorn  it  in  spring  and  sum- 
mer. In  autumn  the  foliage  is  a  bright  crimson 
that  makes  a  gorgeous  showing ;  when  it  falls  a 
profusion  of  scarlet  berries  are  revealed  upon
