THUYA.  ARBORVIT^ 
THESE  highly  ornamental  trees,  though  many  are  of  upright  habit,  do  not  grow  to  great  heights,  and 
are  appropriate  for  small  lawns  as  well  as  large  areas.  They  are  generally  hardy;  grow  vigorously 
in  varied  soils,  and  are  easily  transplanted.  Their  clean,  neat,  compact  appearance,  and  the  soft, 
fern-like  foliage,  in  many  cases  so  brightly  colored,  make  them  useful  in  grouping,  bedding,  bordering 
and  formal  gardening,  for  cemetery  and  lawn  specimens,  for  hedges,  screens,  window-boxes,  vases  and 
house  decorations. 
Oregon  Cedar.  Thuya  gigantea,  syn.  Lobbi. 
(S)  In  the  East  it  succeeds  best  in  sheltered 
locations.  It  is  rare  in  ornamental  plantings, 
but  well  suited  for  them,  as  it  lends  variety  and 
interest.  Each  10

American  Arborvitae,  or  White 
Cedar 
Thuya  occidentalis.  (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. 
This  Arborvitae  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  b> 
trimming,  which  they  endure  readily
