THUJA - Arbor-Vitae (Tree of Life) 
The Thujas are usually trees of narrow pyramidal habit; 
however, some garden forms 
are low, bushy, and globular. They are very valuable for the evergreen border or founda- 
tion planting. 
Thujas are well adapted for hedges and windbreaks. 
They bear pruning 
well, and soon form a dense hedge. They thrive best in a somewhat moist, loamy soil and 
are easily transplanted. 
Thuja occidentalis 
American Arbor-Vitae 
Typically American and native to New 
England. Conical shape with a broad 
base and ordinarily does not exceed 
30 feet. Widely used for hedge and 
screen purposes. 
Thuja occidentalis nigra 

T. occidentalis compacta Parsons Arbor-Vitae 
A dwarf, dense, egg-shaped variety. Max- 
imum height about 6 feet. Bright green foli- 
age. When annually sheared it makes a 
beautiful bushy foundation plant. 
T. eccidentalis elegantissima 
Golden Tipped Arbor-Vitae 
Pyramidal shaped tree with broad base, grow- 
ing to about 15 feet. The tips of new growth 
are golden yellow, later on changing to a 
light green. 
T. occidentalis globosa Globe Arbor-Vitae 
A compact, globe-shaped, dwarf form that 
seldom grows over 3 feet. A fine variety for 
foundation planting. Planted in tubs they 
make good formal effects. 
T. occidentalis lutea 
George Peabody Arbor-Vitae 
Similar to the Agerean Arbor-Vitae but 
with clear, lasting golden yellow foliage. 
Useful in the screen planting for color con- 
trast. 
T. occidentalis, Little Gem 
Little Gem Arbor-Vitae 
The pigmy of evergreens. A cute little tuffet 
with dark green foliage. Globe shaped, not 
growing over 2 feet. Fine for the rock gar- 
den, foundation planting, or low informal 
hedge. 
T. eccidentalis nigra 
Dark American Arbor-Vitae 
A superior type of native Arbor-Vitae intro- 
duced by us into New England several years 
ago. Very hardy and of a deeper green color 
which it holds during the winter months. 
More compact than its parent and seldom 
produces more than a single leader. Will no 
doubt largely displace the common American 
variety as it becomes better known. 



T. occidentalis pyramidalis 
Pyramidal Arbor-Vitae 
This is one of the best. Very densely 
branched, of a distinct columnar growth 
and maintains its rich dark green color 
throughout the winter. 
T. occidentalis Rosenthali 
Rosenthal Arbor-Vitae 
Makes a compact, broad, symmetrical 
pyramid with lustrous dark green foliage 
which retains its color the entire winter. 
T. occidentalis umbraculifera 
Conical Arbor-Vitae 
A low mushroom-shaped, slow-growing 
variety, desirable for bedding and foun- 
dation planting. 
T. occidentalis Vervaeneana 
Vervaene Arbor-Vitae 
Very hardy, broad, bushy pyramid. Foli- 
age varies from a light gray-green to a 
yellow-green. Grows 8 to 12 feet tall. 
T. occidentalis Wareana 
Siberian Arbor-Vitae 
Pyramidal tree, lower, denser and slower 
growing than the type. Foliage dark 
green. Makes a fine hedge or specimen. 
Maximum height. 
TSUGA - Hemlock 
Tsuga canadensis Canadian Hemlock 
This magnificent evergreen is considered 
by many the most graceful of all. From 
its broad base it tapers to a slender, 
graceful terminal of deep rich green. Not 
particular as to soil but prefers a certain 
amount of moisture. Plants may be kept 
small for years by shearing, which makes 
it a most desirable hedge. One of the 
few evergreens that will grow satisfac- 
torily in shade. 
T. caroliniana Carolina Hemlock 
A Carolina native hardy in New England 
and attaining a height of 50 feet. Longer 
foliage, resembling the Yew in richness 
of color and shape. A specimen of rare 
beauty.
