WHITE, CEDAR Of THE, NORTHERN STATES 
American. T. occidentalis. Before the advent~of 
the California Privet, the American Arborvitae 
was the most popular hedge plant. It is bright 
green during the summer and turns to bronze- 
green during the winter, and makes a thick 
screen the year round. Planted with pine, spruce 
or hemlock in groups or hedges, it will thrive 
and make an efficient windbreak. It sometimes 
winter-kills on Long Island, and therefore the 
Red Cedar is preferable. 
Siberian. T. occidentalis, var Wareana ; syn., Si- 
birica. This is not a native of Siberia, but 
merely a variety of American, It has darker 
green foliage and a dense growth. 
Pyramidal. T. occidentalism var. pyramidalis. This 
is a dark green column resembling the young 
plants of Red Cedar. It will make a column 10 
feet high and 2 feet wide and is therefore valu- 
able in formal gardens. 
Booth's. T. occidentalis, var. Boothii. A globe of 
dense foliage, useful in formal planting arid at the 
edge of groups of tall evergreens. We have 
plants 5 feet high, resembling boxwood, trained 
There are several other dwarf varieties. 
occidentalis, var. lutea. This has brilliant yellow 
small value in this latitude. The 
RILD CILDAR. Juniperus Virginiana 
. A Red Cedar in our 
nursery. 
We have made the Red Cedar popular, 
to all types of soil, and all degrees 
of exposures on Long Island. 
Our inventions have enabled 
planters to use thousands of 
Cedars 6 to 35 feet, heretofore 
considered difficult or impossible 
to transplant successfully. The 
Red Cedars are the best and 
cheapest trees to make a screen 
to an unsightly building, service 
court or laundry yard, and they 
make an efTective windbreak. If 
a greater variety is desired, they 
will harmonize with white pine, 
spruce and other species ok ever- 
green. A mutual protection 
against the wind will result in 
developing the highest beauty of 
all the species in the group. For 
sand dunes and bluffs, or to keep 
.sand from wasting and running 
down, make thick plantations o\ 
Cedars, pitch pines and other 
evergreens mixed with deciduous 
shrubs and plants. 
The Cedar is the only hardy 
species of evergreen which will 
reproduce the effect of the cypress 
of Italy. We have trained speci-
