These are transplanted, sturdy little trees, not balled and bur- 
lapped as they do not require it. Plant them firmly, water them 
well, give them time and they will make nice trees. B. U B.

Arborvitae; Thuja 
The Arborvitae is one of the most important groups of ev¬ 
ergreens. The branchlets are flattened and clothed with small, 
usually scale-like leaves which look as if they have been press¬ 
ed tightly together. There are two main groups. The Ameri¬ 
can or occidentalis type has the branchlets in a more or less hor¬ 
izontal position. The Chinese or orientalis type has the branch- 
lets in a vertical or upright position. The name Arborvitae in¬ 
dicates “tree of life,” from the evergreen character.
