ARBORVITAE 
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 co’.or. We are careful to obtain our seed from certain 
sections of northern Wisconsin, producing stock of good green color, and 
compact habit of growth. 
The American Arborvitae is the mother tree from which more than 
fifty varieties have been developed, varying in color from deep green to 
bright golden and ranging in size from little dwarfs to tall, pyramidal 
specimens. The native forests of Arborvitae have long been of great 
commercial value for timber, producing tall, straight trunks much used 
for telegraph poles.

Thuya occidentalis douglasi aurea (Douglas Golden Arborvitae) 
It forms a broad, bushy, pyramid, very similar in outline to a good 
type of the regular American Arborvitae. The foliage is decidedly golden, 
very bright in the Spring and keeping its color well. The bright golden 
color is best displayed when planting this variety with a background of 
darker shades of green. It grows in any ordinary good soil and does 
especially well in moist cool locations. 
Among the golden forms, the Douglas Golden Arborvitae is well 
known and widely used. It is a form originated by Robert Douglas of 
the old Douglas Nurseries at Waukegan, Illinois.
