BIOTA AUREA NANA 
ARBORVITAE, continued 
Biota aurea nana (Berckmans’ Golden Arborvitae). The 
wonderfully increasing demand for this, the most popular 
of all Biotas, shows the great popularity of this plant. It 
originated in our grounds. As photograph shows, it is of 
very dwarf, compact 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 wirtdow-boxes 
and vases this plant is most effective. It is certainly 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 temperature of io degrees below zero without 
injury. each io ioo
