American Arbor Vitae 
(Thuya Occidentalis) 
The American Arbor Vitae is very hardy and useful for landscape develop¬ 
ment. It stands trimming well and is much planted for evergreen hedges, but 
if grown as a tree it gets to be of good size, perfect shape and beautiful 
without trimming or pruning. It is sometimes planted in rows a few feet 
apart and allowed to grow without trimming or cutting back. The branches 
will interweave and it makes a most efficient windbreak. Th fern-like foliage 
is very dense, soft and of a deep green color. In beginning its growth the 
Arbor Vitae is more like the Junipers and different from other coniferous 
evergreens. Our seedlings are grown from seeds collected in northern Wiscon¬ 
sin, the best type available, and we have growing a very large number of all 
sizes listed and can fill orders promptly. This tree does not start its growth 
as early as Spruce and Pines and can be shipped from April until June and 
from September until November. Nurserymen and florists can grow from our 
four to eight inch size at very reasonable prices. No collection of evergreen 
trees is complete without American Arbor Vitae. Seldom attacked by insects; 
the foliage contains cedar oil which protects and preserves it, retaining its 
color and remaining soft and pliable for weeks after being cut from the 
branches, the sprays are used by florists for decorative purposes. 
Evergreens and Coniferous Trees 
For windbreak, shelter belt or landscape work, Evergreens are indispensible.
