The Arborvitae-Thuya 
This group of ornamentals is among the loveliest of evergreens, including many varie¬ 
ties of upright growth, and adapted to small lawns as well as large areas. Medium size and 
delightful shape, tine color and beautiful foliage, combined give it first place in planting for 
lawns or banking. 
The taller-growing sorts make a splendid background for other ornamentals and provide 
protection and seclusion for the flower vegetable garden. 
With the Biotas and Junipers, it supplies the choicest groups for large or small plant¬ 
ings. 
American Arborvitae (T. Occidentalis)—The 
most popular of the Arborvitae family, more 
widely planted for lawns, groups or hedges, 
makes a beautifully shaped tree, succeeding in 
all soil. It is especially valuable on account 
of its atmospheric odor. It forms an upright 
conical tree of medium size. It is valuable for 
screens or hedges, and can be trimmed like 
privet. Where mixed conifers are used for 
grouping it is alw T ays used to advantage. We 
can supply all sizes in this variety, running as 
large as 10 feet.

Dear Mr. Jones:—It is with a great deal of pleasure that I write to thank you for the splendid 
stock and service you gave me in the beautifying of my home. The layout is so satisfactory, the 
plants so shapely and nice and even though they were not planted until late in the spring, they 
were so carefully balled and packed that even in this near carload shipment, they have succeeded 
beautifully. We are so well pleased with them, they having enhanced the value of our place so 
much I feel that I should write you in appreciation of your splendid stock and service. Although 
you may not be interested in our small order, everything has turned out and grown so well, so 
beautiful and so much larger than plantings of our friends who have had their places planted 
many more years than mine, that we just wanted to tell you how r delighted we are. 
It- has been complimented by every one who has seen it and it is not unusual to have from 
twenty to a hundred yeople come to our place inquiring about this stock most any Sunday. 
One of the largest nurserymen in this section one day recently complimented us on this beau¬ 
tiful planting, asked how much it cost and the writer replied, “How much do you think?” And 
his figures were about four times what I paid for it. 
I can heartily recommend your stock and service to any one interested and I feel sure they 
would lose money by not giving you their business. 
Yours truly, T. H. HARPER.
