scape. 
ARBORVITAE (Thuja) 
American Arborvitae (Thuja occidentalis). 
One of the most extensively planted of all 
evergreens. Rather dwarf habit of growing. 
Foliage flat instead of needle-like and sets on 
edge, color bright green. Used as specimens 
for the lawn, in tubs for porches, and for 
hedges and screens and to break the force of 
Winter winds. 
Arborvitae, American Compacta (Thuja 
occidentalis compacta). Dwarf, compact 
grower resembling Globe, but somewhat more 
upright and not quite so compact. 
American Pyramidal Arborvitae (Thuja 
occidentalis pyramidalis). An exquisite, 
close grown, compact little tree with bright 
green foliage throughout all seasons. 
Berckmans Golden (Biota aurea nana). 
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. 
Bonita Arborvitae (Thuja orientalis boni- 
ta). Dwarf, compact Arborvitae resembling 
Biota aurea nana but having green foliage. 
Chinese Arborvitae (Thuja orientalis). A 
compact, spire-like form. Adaptable to a wide 
range of uses. Attains a height of 10 to 12 ft. 
but can be kept sheared to any desired 
height. 
Chinese Compacta (Thuja orientalis com¬ 
pacta). Dwarf, dense little trees with light 
green foliage, neat and attractive. Useful for 
beds, borders. 
Chinese Golden (Thuja orientalis aurea). 
Resembles Berckmans Golden in color and 
texture of foliage but is more pyramidal. 
Differs from the Pyramidal Golden by having 
more spread. 
Chinese Pyramidal Arborvitae (Thuja 
orientalis pyramidalis). One of our best 
sellers among the pyramidals. Broader and a 
better grower than the American type. 
Chinese Golden Pyramidal (Thuja orien¬ 
talis aurea pyramidalis). Most erect 
grower of the Chinese Golden type. 
Geo. Peabody Arborvitae (Thuja occiden¬ 
talis lutea). This variety is similar to the 
American Arborvitae, except that the foliage 
is golden when exposed to the direct rays of 
the sun. It is by far the best of the American 
Golden types. 
Globe Arborvitae (Thuja occidentalis 
globosa). A dwarf, round, dense head of 
handsome American Arborvitae foliage. Does 
not require shearing. Grows 3 to 4 ft. tall; 
foliage is deep, dark green, its little branches 
being of unusual delicacy. 
ful transplanting. 
Goldspire Arborvitae (Biota aurea con- 
spicua). 10-12 ft. Gayly dressed in bright 
yellow foliage that deepens to glowing old 
gold and warm brown in Winter. 
Arborvitae, Golden-tipped (Thuja elegan- 
tissima). Compact, pyramidal, dwarf grow¬ 
er. Lustrous green foliage, golden tipped. 
Siberian (Thuja occidentalis wareana). A 
superb hardy variety, somewhat similar to 
American. 
Arborvitae spiralis (Thuja conspicua). Up¬ 
right, spiral growth. Effective when used with 
Berckmans and other more compact types. 
Tom Thumb Arborvitae (Thuja occiden¬ 
talis ellwangeriana). An exceptionally 
dwarf growing variety, globe-shaped and 
seldom reaching 2 ft. in height. Very bright 
green in Summer, changing to bronze in 
Winter. 
Canadian Hemlock 
Vervaene Arborvitae (Thuja occidentalis 
vervaeneana). A dwarf-like growing Pyra¬ 
midal Arborvitae. Has slightly more spread 
than the common Pyramidal. Especially suit¬ 
ed for foundation planting. Absolutely hardy. 
CEDARS (Cedrus) 
Deodar Cedar (Cedrus deodara). The famous 
Cedar of the Himalayan Mountains. In its 
native land attains a height of 75 ft. A soft, 
silvery blue foliage which blends beautifully 
with our native Hemlocks and Firs. 
Cedar of Lebanon (Cedrus libani). This 
historic tree needs no introduction because 
of its association w'ith sacred writings. Hardier 
than the Deodar. 
CRYPTOMERIA 
Common Cryptomeria (Cryptomeria ja- 
ponica). A splendid evergreen tree from 60 
to 100 feet high, which comes from the north 
of Japan. Requires a rich, deep soil, with 
plenty of moisture and protection from cut¬ 
ting winds to fully develop its beauty. 
CYPRESS 
Cypress, Lawson’s Blue (Chamaecyparis 
lawsoniana). This is a form of medium 
height which is quite broad at the base but 
tapers to a pointed tip. Its branches have a 
graceful droop and foliage that is dark green 
on the upper surface and a silvery green 
beneath. Not always hardy at points north 
of Washington, D. C. Difficult to transplant. 
FIR 
All Standard Varieties 
Balsam Fir (Abies balsamea). Regular and 
symmetrical in growth, hardy, native, thriv¬ 
ing in moist soils and cool climates. One of 
the most beautiful evergreens grown and 
attractive the year through. 
Concolor Fir (Abies concolor). A gem from 
the Rocky Mountains, rarely exceeding 20 ft. 
in height in the East. Intense silver gray 
foliage something like Colorado Blue Spruce, 
but of a softer texture, longer, broader, flatter, 
with needles more blunt. 
Douglas Fir (Pseudotsuga douglasi). Very 
tall growing. Leaves light green above, 
glaucous below. Much used for lawn speci¬ 
mens. 
HEMLOCK 
Hemlock, Canadian (Tsuga canadensis). 
One of the most useful and most satisfactory 
Coniferous Evergreens known. It will succeed 
in either full sunlight or shade. It can be 
effectively used as a specimen or in groups. 
Nothing makes a more desirable hedge. See
