B. aurea nana (Berckmans* Golden Arborvita?). The 
ever-increasing demand for this, the most popular 
of all Biotas, shows the great popularity of this 
plant. Originated by us. 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 window-boxes and vases this plant is most 
effective. It is certainly desirable where it is too 
cold for palms and other decorative plants. For 
Biota aurea nana, continued 
formal gardens it is a great favorite. In many sec¬ 
tions it has stood a temperature of 10 degrees below 
zero without injury. each 10 100
