A K BO R- VITAK, American. One of the finest 
evergreens for hedges. It grows rapidly and 
soon forms a most beautiful hedge ; very 
dense. Of course it is never adapted to turn 
stock, but it forms a most desirable and or- 
namental screen to divide the lawn from 
other parts of the ground. 
< .old. -n. A beautiful variety of Chinese Arbor- 
vitae; compact and globular; color a lively 
yellowish green ; not quite hardy at the 
North; should be planted in a shady situa- 
tion, where It will give a brilliant touch of 
color like sunshine. 
PyramidaHs. An exceedingly beautiful, bright 
variety, resembling the Irish Juniper in 
form; foliage a deep green, color well re- 
tained in winter; perfectly hardy. Should 
have a place in every collection. 
Compactu. Foliage light green; habit dwarf 
and compact. Fine for small places. 
Rosedale Hybrid. By far the finest of all 
evergreen of this class. A true hybrid be- 
tween the Golden Arbor-Vitae (Biota aurea) 
and fRetinispora squarrosa) bearing a strik- 
ing resemblance to both, as it possesses the 
fine, feathery foliage of Retinlspora and the 
dense, compact, sugarloaf shape of Biota 
aurea. It is a vigorous grower and perfect- 
ly hardy; somewhat dwarfish.

globe shape. A beautiful evergreen. Par- 
ticularly fine for formal plantings.

form; foliage light green with a golden

mens.

above, silvery beneath, 
(oncolor (White Silver). An elegant, pictur- 
esque Colorado species; long, leathery leaves 
with glaucous tinge when young, becoming 
pale green with age. Branches arranged 
in horizontal whorls. One of the brightest 
and best evergreens for the lawn.

column of deep green foliage. A pretty lit- 
tle tree or shrub, and for its beauty and 
hardiness is a general favorite.

the prairies of the West and Northwest with

30 degrees below zero, in exposed situations, 
entirely uninjured. This is not only one of 
the hardiest, but the most beautiful in col- 
or and outline ; foliage of a rich blue or 
sage color; it is a valuable acquisition. 
Hemlock (Tsuga Canadensis). An elegant 
pyramidal tree, with drooping branches and 
delicate dark foliage, like that of the yew. 
Distinct from all other trees. It is a beau- 
tiful lawn tree, and makes a highly orna- 
mental hedge.

idal habit, remarkably elegant and rich, 
and as it gets age, has fine, graceful, pen-
