DWARFED THUJA OBTUSA. 

 ' Keiigai ■' (overhanging) shape. 



Treated as above tins i)laut is very ornamental 

 on halconie?., terraces, ete. It' this plant is kept 

 in-(1oors it should alicays be jjlaced out-of-d^jors at 

 night and as often as it is not wanted 

 for decoration. In-doors it should never be ex- 

 posed to the dry heat from a stove or open fire- 

 place otherwise the leaves ^^ ill drop off and plant 

 perish. 



Finns pentaphylla and pine trees in general 

 growing in jardiniers require the attention in 

 watering and general treatment as Thuja obtusa, 

 but are not so much influenced by atmospheric 

 conditions, nevertheless sun and air are necessary 

 to maintain health therefore keep the plants out- 

 of-doors as much as possible. 



Maples and other deciduous trees take the 

 same treatment as Thnja obtusa as regards water- 

 ing but are much more accommodating tlian ever- 

 greens ; in fairly mild climates, the maples may 

 remain out-of-doors all winter, but where the frost 

 is very severe they should be kept in a cellar 

 after the leaves have fallen in autumn, the soil 

 must always be kept moist but not icet ; early in 

 spring pnt the plant out-of-doors and fully expos- 

 ed to all ^^•eathers and wlien in full leaf use for 

 decolation in-doors as needed.
