White Cedar. The real white cedar has a more deli- cate leaf and is fond of cool swamps. It has a conical shape and is much larger than the arbor vi- tee, reaching sometimes ninety feet. The wood is very valu- able, being soft but durable, and is used for shino-les, posts, and boats. It has the property of enduring the changes such as posts or other structural members are obliged to withstand in contact with the soil, and ranks next to yellow locust in this jiartioular. 68. Red Cedar is the tree which supplies our lead pencils. It is remarkable for its straight, even grain. Fic. 129. Arbor Vitas.
