is all right for an arboretum or a large estate, but tends to appear spotty 
and rather showy in the smaller home landscape. For instance, in the 
evergreen windbreak, stick to mostly Pines with a few Firs or Spruces 
to relieve the monotony or plant some Hemlocks on the protected side. 
ARBORVITAE, AMERICA7s[—A narrow pyramidal tree which grows best in good 
deep soil. May be used for screen planting where room is limited or for a hedge. 
ARBORVITAE, COMPACT—A low ball shaped form of the above. Useful for 
formal effects. 
ARBORVITAE, DOUGLAS PTRAMIDAL—A more narrow and compact pyramid 
than the American Arbor vitae. Better color in winter.

foliage, especially showy in spring.

green foliage.

vitae. Very attractive.

and very good foliage the year through. 
CEDAR, RED—The tall, dark, narrow cedars of our roadsides and fields. Of very 
useful shape but somewhat subject to red spider. Frequent spraying with 
water in hot weather helps control this.

sibly less affected by the spider.

like foliage.

specimen or with other evergreens in a group.
