Thuya  •  Arborvitae 
These  highly  ornamental  trees,  though  many  are  of  upright  habit,  do  not  grow  to  great  heights, 
d  are  appropriate  for  small  lawns  as  well  as  larger  areas.  They  are  generally  hardy  ;  grow  vigorously 
varied  soils  and  are  easily  transplanted.  Their  clean,  neat,  compact  appearance  and  the  soft,  fern- 
e  foliage,  in  many  cases  so  brightly  colored,  make  them  useful  in  grouping,  bedding,  bordering  and 
rmal  gardening,  for  cemetery  and  lawn  specimens,  for  hedges,  screens,  window-boxes  vases  and  house 
corations. 
luya  gigantea;  syn.,  Lobbi.  Oregon  Cedar.  (S)  On  our  western 
coast  it  is  a  mighty  forest  tree.   In  the  East  it  succeeds  best  in  ■  . ; 
sheltered  locations.  It  is  rare  in  ornamental  planting,  but  well  suited 
for  them,  as  it  lends  variety  and  interest.  2  to  3  ft.,  $1  each,  $7.50  ' 
for  10,  $60  per  100.  ^ 
,  occiden talis.  American  Arborvitae,  or  White  Cedar.  (S)  A 
splendid  native  that  grows  well  anywhere  and  thrives  over  a  wide 
range  of  climate.  The  habit  is  erect  and  pyramidal,  the  foliage  soft 
and  light  green  in  color.  The  branches  are  dense  and  symmetrical 
from  the  ground  up.  Beautiful  specimens  found  on  many  old  lawns, 
for  almost  every  yard  has  its  Arborvitae.  They  should  be  included  in 
groups  and  all  evergreen  plantings.  For  tubs  and  vases  and  for 
formal  plantings  there  is  nothing  better.  They  are  unapproached 
as  tall  hedges  to  form  screens  from  objectionable  objects,  or  for 
shelter-belts,  or  as  a  blind  about  clothes-yards,  etc.  They  grow 
quickly,  and  if  planted  closely  in  hedges  give  the  desired  effects 
promptly.  They  may  be  kept  at  any  height  and  made  more  dense 
and  bushy  by  trimming,  which  they  endure  readily.

var.  aurea.  George  Peabody's  Arborvit^.  (S)  A  distinct  golden 
yellow  form  that  is  beautiful  as  a  specimen  and  highly  valued,  too, 
for  contrast  in  foliage  effects.  The  habit  is  similar  to  the  native 
variety,  and  it  will  grow  in  very  much  the  same  kinds  of  soil  that 
it  does.  Each  10

var.  Burrowii.  (S)  Distinguished  by  bright  golden  yellow  foliage 
in  spring,  which  afterward  grows  green.  4  to  5  ft.,  $3  each, 
$25  for  10. 
var.  compacta.  Compact  Arborvit^.  (D)  Dwarf,  dense  little  ever- 
green, having  light  green  foliage  and  neat,  attractive  habit.  Popu- 
lar for  beds,  borders,  cemeteries,  house  decorations  or  small,  low- 
growing  hedges.  Each       10  100

var.  EUwangeriana;  syn.,  Tom  Thumb.  (D)  In  many  respects  it 
is  similar  to  the  Retinospora  and  seems  to  be  the  connecting  link 
l)etween  Arborvitae  and  that  family.  It  is  pretty,  hardy,  with  silvery 
foliage  that  closely  resembles  T.  ericoides  when  young,  but  in  winter 
it  does  not  turn  so  dark.  Its  low  growth  and  compact  symmetry 
make  it  valuable  for  decorations  in  small  areas  and  in  the  front  of 
evergreen  beds.  Each      lo  loo 
1  to  li  ft  $0  75    $5  00    $40  00

var.  ericoides.    Heath-leaved  Arborvit^.  (D) 
Appears  very 
much  like  the  above,  excepting  in  winter,  when  this  variety  changes.
