It is fine for avenue planting and also makes a perfect hedge. T. gigantea Nutt. (12), the Pacific Coast Giant Arborvitcc, reaches a height of over two hundred feet, grows very rap- idly, and is most beautiful; the short, closely set, horizontal branches are pendulous at the tip. Coming from a moist, mild climate, it can be used only for southern planting, un- less the seed is brought from Montana. The Japanese T. Japonica Maxim. (13), semi-hardy in the north, and the Persian T. ori- entalis Linn. (14), fit only for southern ranges, offer hardly any superior points. Thuyopsis. T. dolohrata nana S. & Z. (15), Tom Thumb, a Japanese Arborvitae of small stature, is one of the most beautiful of this group, semi-hardy as far north as Massachusetts. Juniperus. Juniper or Red Cedar. This genus contains some thirty- five species, mostly small trees, of pyramidal and even columnar form, and rather stiff habit, and shrubs, hence useful in small places, the low forms for rocky slopes, covering of sand banks, planting of lanes, windbreaks, screens, etc. They are less symmetrical than other conifers. They are, as a rule, adaptive to soil conditions, from sand to lime, from swamp. Fig. 62. — Tom Thumb or Japanese Arborvitae.
