other ugly outlooks. We have a splendid stock in sizes large enough for immediate results. ing this year. 



Thuya. Arborvitae 



THKSE 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. Although these plants are indigenous to 

 the northern part of the United States and are among the hardiest evergreens it is a fact that after 

 transplanting they do show the effects of Winter. 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. 

 The tall-growing varieties make beautiful hedges. When so used they make a splendid background for other 

 ornamental plants, and provide protection and seclusion for the flower and vegetable garden. 



American Arborvitae, or White 

 Cedar 



Thuya Occidentalis. (M). 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. This Ar- 

 borvitae should be included in groups and all ever- 

 green plantings. They are unequaled as tall hedges 

 to form screens from unsightly 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.
