Evergreens are not only beautiful in Winter when the earth is brown and deciduous trees 
are barren, but are graceful and effective during the Summer. 
ARBORVITAE (Thuja)

the appearance of the plant. (See illustration.) 18-24 in. $2.25, 2-3 ft. $3.00, 3-4 ft. $4.00. 
Siberian (Thuja occidentalis wareana). A hardy Russian variety classed under the American because
