TAXUS: Yew—Continued 
T. baccata washingtoni. WASHINGTON GOLD¬ 
EN YEW. A form of the English Yew and of sim¬ 
ilar growth, but with golden variegated leaves. 
Habit bushy. Very distinct and handsome. 
T. cuspidata. JAPANESE YEW. Japan. 50 ft. 
Although a distinct species, it is quite similar to 
English Yew. Probably grows a little faster; leaves 
broader and sharp pointed. Bark reddish. (Note— 
The common name, “.Japanese Yew.” is also applied 
to Cephalotaxus pedunculata fastigiata, which is 
entirely distinct.) 
THUYA: Arbor Vits 
Comprises species of varying growth and ap¬ 
pearance, but most are inclined to be compact 
and of symmetrical shape. Branchlets are usually 
flattened, with leaves overlapping like scales. 
Cones very small. 
T. gigantea (T. lobbi; T. plicata). GIANT AR¬ 
BOR VITAE. Pacific Coast. 200 ft. One of our 
splendid native conifers. In fairly young trees 
the lower branches are very long in proportion to 
height and upper half of tree is extremely slender. 
With age it becomes more columnar, as the lower 
branches do not maintain their growth. Attains 
height quite rapidly. 
T. gigantea aurea. GOLDEN GIANT ARBOR 
VITAE. 75 ft. Identical with preceding except 
foliage strongly marked with yellow. 
T. occidentals lutea. PEABODY’S GOLDEN 
ARBOR VITAE. 15 ft. A compact form of the 
American Arbor Vitae, with bright golden foliage. 
Holds color well. 
T. occidentalis wareana. SIBERIAN ARBOR VI¬ 
TAE. A very distinct form of nearly globular shape 
when young. Foliage an unusual shade of sage 
green. Very compact, regular and handsome. 
T. orientalis. CHINESE ARBOR VITAE. Asia. 
25 ft. Compact, bushy, small tree. Branchlets 
stand edgewise to the trunk. Foliage bright, pleas¬ 
ing green; bronzy during winter. 
T. orientalis argentea. SILVER VARIEGATED 
CHINESE ARBOR VITAE. Well described by its 
name. Growth slow, erect and compact. 
T. orientalis aurea. GOLDEN CHINESE ARBOR 
VITAE. One of the most desirable types. Almost 
globular in outline and very compact. During 
spring the foliage is golden tinted, but as the season 
advances it changes to a most beautiful, deep, rich 
green. Growth slow, but makes a large shrub. 
T. orientalis aureo-variegata. GOLDEN V ARIE¬ 
GATED CHINESE ARBOR VITAE. Growth erect, 
slender and compact. Foliage freely marked with 
yellow variegation. 
T. orientalis filiformis stricta. JAPANESE AR¬ 
BOR VITAE. 10 ft. So distinct from other forms 
of Chinese Arbor Vitae that it might be taken for 
another species. Without any training it assumes 
a dense globular form. Foliage light green and 
thread-like. Entirely unique. 
T. orientalis pendula. JAPANESE WEEPING 
ARBOR VITAE. 10 ft. A form of foregoing with 
slender, drooping shoots, less regular in outline and 
very novel. 
T. orientalis semperaurescens. EVERGOLDEN 
CHINESE ARBOR VITAE. 10 ft. A compact vari¬ 
ety of globular form and dwarf habit, retaining its 
very pronounced golden tint throughout the year. 
THUYOPSIS 
T. dolobrata. HATCHET-LEAVED ARBOR VI¬ 
TAE. Japan. 50 ft. Very distinct from other con¬ 
ifers. Foliage dark green above, marked with 
broad, glaucous lines beneath; curved, scale-like 
and closely appressed to the branchlets, which are 
flattened and arranged in fan shape. 
T. dolobrata variegata. VARIEGATED HLATCH- 
ET-LEAVED ARBOR VITAE. A form of preced¬ 
ing having tips of branchlets creamy white. 
TORREYA 
T. californica. CALIFORNIA NUTMEG; TUM- 
ION. 75 ft. A rare native tree with spreading 
branches usually in whorls. Leaves long, straight, 
flattened and very acute. Named from the peculiar 
form and appearance of the fruit. 
TSUGA: Hemlock 
T. mertensiana. MOUNTAIN HEMLOCK. N. W. 
America. 200 ft. A very beautiful native tree. 
Branches arranged at regular intervals along the 
trunk. Foliage- borne as if in enormous plumes; 
usually somewhat glaucous. Very symmetrical 
and handsome. Requires a rather cool and pref¬ 
erably shaded location. Very rare in cultivation. 
Abies pinsapo. Spanish Fir. Showing method of boxing.
