The ^RBORFITAE (Thuja) 
^White Cedar^’ 
of the North 
'X'HE American Arborvitae is the one dwarf and medium size 
group of evergreens which prefers the wind and cold, the 
snow and ice, of winter in the extreme north. Arborvitae grows 
in any good soil and even withstands poor drainage. For best 
results it should be sheared neatly every summer, being careful 
to keep the bottom broader than the top. There is a large 
assortment of varietal forms.
