Thuya occidentalis (American Arborvitae) 
A moist location is preferred. Stands trimming well, and for this 
reason is widely used for hedge purposes. It usually grows bushy at the 
bottom and tapering toward the top. Foliage is very soft and lacy and of 
shiny deep green color. We are careful to obtain our seed from certain 
sections of northern Wisconsin, producing stock of good green color, and 
compact habit of growth.

Thuya occidentalis batemanni (Bateman Arborvitae) 
An upright growing Arborvitae with unusually dark green, heavy 
foliage, somewhat resembling the foliage of the Incense Cedar. There are 
scores of varieties of the Arborvitae, many of them of little value and 
of slight variation, but this is a distinct and unusual sort worthy of trial. 
Grafts, one year . 20.00 . 
Thuya occidentalis douglasi pyramidalis (Douglas Pyramidal Arborvitae) 
A compact form with crowded fern-like branchlets, introduced by 
Robert Douglas. The branchlet tips are cockscomb-like. Foliage is dark 
green with lighter tips. Fine pyramidal habit. Reaches a height of 12 
to 15 feet of slim narrow form. 
The Arnold Arboretum says: “As a garden plant, the most valuable 
of them all (Arborvitae types) is perhaps the tall, slender pyramid raised 
many years ago by Robert Douglas and generally known as Douglas 
Pyramidal Arborvitae.” 
This appears to be one of the best substitutes in northern gardens 
for the Pyramid Italian Cypress.

Thuya occidentalis lutea (George Peabody Arborvitae) 
A distinct bright golden type, which we have been able to improve 
considerably by closer selection, propagating only the brightest golden 
color. Rather slender in habit, reaching 12 to 15 feet high with a diam¬ 
eter of 2 to 2% feet. This is one of the two best golden Arborvitaes of 
the Occidentalis type.
