THUYA: ARBORVITAE 
Many of this group are so common that they 
miss our appreciation. They are bright greens, 
dark greens, yellowish greens, all changing in 
winter. These characteristics, combined with their 
various shapes, insure beautiful effects when 
planted in groups or along borders. Some va¬ 
rieties are used extensively for hedges and may 
be trimmed to any height. They grow in moist 
soils, are easily transplanted and always give satis¬ 
faction. 
THUYA occidentalis (American Arborvitae). This 
is the finest evergreen for hedges. It is very 
hardy. Small plants, 12 to 18 inches high,

hedge or screen to divide grounds, or for any 
purpose where it is not required to resist cattle 
or other animals. For hedging, $2.50 per doz.;
