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. Do not plant in shade. 
Thuja occidentalis compacta 
Parsons Arbor-Vitae 
A dwarf, dense, egg-shaped variety. 
Maximum height about 6 feet. Bright 
ereen foliage. When annually sheared 
it makes a beautiful bushy founda- 
tion plant.

T. occidentalis 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.

branched, of a distinct columnar growth 
and maintains its rich dark green color 
throughout the winter.

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. 

Pomfret Hemlock 
T. canadensis pomfret Pomfret Hemlock 
An erect, dense, compact and slow grow- 
er. Rich dark green foliage. Requires 
little, if any, trimming at all because of 
its habit. Very hardy and ideal for hedge 
or foundation plantings.
