ARBOR VITAE 
There are two types of Arbor Vitae, 
the American and the Chinese. The 
American is most hardy north of Neo¬

E VERGREENS' are the foundation 
of the modern planting which 
lends grace and elegance to the 
approach to and outlines of your home. 
Evergreens lend that touch of formal¬ 
ity blended with informality which is 
the essence of good taste and smart¬ 
ness. And their cheerful green relieves 
the drabness of the winter scene when 
other shrubs and plants are dull and 
gray!
