B. aurea nana. Bkrckmans’ Golden Arbor-vitae. The 
ever-increasing demand for this, the most popular 
of all Biotas, shows the great popularity of this 
plant. Originated by us. It is of very dwarf, com¬ 
pact and symmetrical habit; a perfect gem for small 
gardens or cemetery lots. It far surpasses in every 
way its parent, the old Biota aurea. For window- 
boxes and vases this plant is most ‘effective. It is 
desirable where it is too cold for palms and other 
decorative plants. For formal gardens it is a great 
favorite. In many sections it has stood a tempera¬ 
ture of 10 degrees below zviro without injury.

height of 10 to 12 feet.
