AMERICAN ARBOR VIT^ 
Best Tree for General Planting 
in Existence 
No Evergreen, either native or introduced, will 
endure so much hardship and g-row on so great a 
variety of soils as the American Arbor Vitae. 
We have the largest and finest stock of this 
variety in the country and guarantee our trees 
to be absolutely first-class in every particular. 
We have featured this noteworthy variety for 
many years, becoming expert in its propagation, 
until Hill’s American Arbor Vitae are now ac¬ 
knowledged to be the finest procurable. They 
have that which is of prime importance—a hardy, 
vigorous constitution, with an abundance of 
strong, healthy, fibrous roots. 
FOR HEDGE PURPOSES it is unsurpassed. 
Owing to its compact appearance when sheared 
and its bright green color, it is without doubt the 
best tree for hedge purposes that grows. Being 
perfectly hardy and of comparatively rapid 
growth, it forms a beautiful, compact hedge in a 
remarkably short time. It is preeminently a tree 
without an equal for practical utility and orna¬ 
mental value. There is not a lawn, no matter 
of what proportion, where an Arbor Vitae hedge 
would not enhance its beauty to a high degree. 
FOR GROUP PLANTING it is unexcelled, and 
when planted in this manner it grows tall, stately 
and pyramidal, its beautiful, fiat, fern-like foliage 
overlapping each other, forming splendid, sym¬ 
metrical specimens unsurpassed for rich beauty. 
The permanent attractiveness of one’s home sur¬ 
roundings is undeniably incomplete without a 
group of these charming trees, which, growing 
tall and well formed, become more beautiful each 
year. 
WINDBREAKS, SHELTERBELTS AND 
SCREENS. — For practical purposes such as wind¬ 
breaks for stock pastures, poultry yards, orchards, 
gardens and buildings, it is rapidly becoming more 
popular each year. By planting quite close to¬ 
gether, as in illustration, their branches interlock 
closely, forming a barricade through which cold, 
piercing winds cannot penetrate.
