ARBOR-VITAE - Thuya 
The Arbor-Vitae fam- 
ily, also called the 
White Cedar, is identi- 
fied by its flat sprays of 
scale-like leaves, as con- 
trasted with a strictly 
needle type of leaf, 
which is found on the 
other varieties of ever- *- 
greens grown here in 
the northern states. The 
foliage is of a beautiful 
rich green color. They 
will grow in any good 
moist soil. They can be # 
held to size because they % 
all stand shearing well, * 
lending themselves to 
the average small prop- 
erty planting. 
Pyramidal . 
Arbor-Vitae 
Globe Arbor-Vitae 
AMERICAN ARBOR-VITAE (Occidentalis). 
Med. The best known of the genus. Usually 
grows bushy at the bottom, tapering into a 
cone toward the top. It is most used as a 
low trimmed evergreen hedge, although it 
also makes a good untrimmed hedge, grow- 
ing to a height of 15 to 20 feet. Useful for 
foundation plantings. See picture. 
GLOBE ARBOR-VITAE (Globosa). Sm. Of dense, 
dwarf habit, globular in outline; requires no shear- 
ing and always in good form. See pictute above. 
PYRAMIDAL ARBOR-VITAE 
(Pyramidalis). Med. The Pyra- 
midal Arbor-Vitae is one of the 
most beautiful columnar types of 
evergreens. Because of its rapid 
growth, its good green color and 
the fact that it lends itself to 
shearing (thus keeping it at any 
desired size), it is one of the 
most useful of the pyramidal 
form trees. It can be used on 
either side of the entrance or in 
other places where narrow, tall 
effects are desired. 
See picture above. 
SIBERIAN ARBOR-VITAE (War- 
eana). Sm. Forms a dense and 
somewhat globular body of very 
symmetrical appearance. Some-
