T H U J A , Linn. From thyon, a sacrifice; the resin of
the Eastern variety is used instead of incense at
sacrifices. Why it is called Arbor Vitce is not
known, unless it be on account of t?ie supposed
medicinal qualities of its berries. In the East , the
cypress is called the tree of l ife; and its berries are
considered a cure for all diseases. Linn. 21, Or. 10,
Nat. Or. ConifercE. In Britain the species of Arbor
Vit(S can only be considered as ornamental, low
shrubs or trees, well deserving of being cultivated,
especially T. pendula ; yvhich, on account of its very
graceful, long, slender, pendulous shoots, ought to
be in every collection. The American and European
kinds succeed well in any soil or situation, but
prefer low, sheltered, and swampy places. The
THU THY
more tender species, natives of China, require, when
young, the protection of the greenhouse. They
are all readily increased by seeds, either imported
from the places of thei r natural growth, or gathered
from the trees in this country ; some of the rarer
kinds, as T. pendula, are propagated by cuttings.

very easy culture, and may be increased with
facility either by divisions, slips, cuttings, or by
seeds sown in March or Apri l . Some of the rarer
species may be grown in pots among alpine plants,
and protected in winter. The different purposes
to which Thyme is applied are so well known, as

trees, well suited for avenues and parks. They
thrive well in any soil, and are increased by lay ers
or seeds: if" by layers, the tree must be cut down
close to the ground, and from its roots a great
number of shoots are produced, in the following
y e a r ; these will be strong enough to lay down the
following autumn. Trees raised from seed are far
preferable to those raised from layers. The Russian
bass-mats are made from the inner bark of the
lime-tree ; while the wood, from its being light and
white, is much used by the carver, and musical
instrument-maker. Synonymes: 1. T. argentea. 2.
