 feet. In bloom second week of June. Flowers, white, in compact, flat heads. The leaves 

 of this species are very ornamental, being smooth and glossy. 



EVERGREENS. 



76. Abies concolor. — White fir (Colorado). Height, 30 to 60 feet. This is a very 

 beautiful species with large, flat, glaucous, green leaves. Young trees of this species 

 should be obtained from northern-grown stock, as it seems to be at its limit of hardiness 

 here. 



77. Cupressus ericoides. — Heath-like retinospora (Japan). Height, 2 feet. This is 

 a very pretty dwarf evergreen, with fine, soft, delicate green foliage, which becomes of 

 an attractive purplish tinge in winter. 



78. Cupressus pisifera ( Retinospora pisifera). — (Japan.) The retinosporas are all 

 ornamental, and this is one of the best. It is of pendulous form with bright green 

 leaves and a very graceful habit. 



79. Cupressus pisijer a Jilifera. — (Japan). This isa very distinct and beautiful variety 

 with drooping branches and slender thread-lLke pendulous branchlets, 



*iiO. Cupressus pisifera plumosa. — (Japan). A more compact tree than Cupressus 

 pisi/era,hut very ornamental. Its branchlets are somewhat feathery in form. 



81. Cujyressv^ pisifera plumosa aurea. — CJapan). One of the most beautiful golden 

 leaved, evergreen shrubs in cultivation. It is of compact form and holds its colour well. 



82. Juniperua communis Jastigiata. — Irish juniper (Europe). Height, 4 to 8 feet. 

 The Irish juniper is an erect, compact form of Juniperus comm,unis with light green 

 foliage, silvery beneath. It makes a very attractive shrub on the lawn. 



83. Juniperus Sahina tamarisci/olia. — Tamarisk-leaved savin (Europe). Height, 1 

 to 2 feet. This is a low growing variety with widely spread trailing branches and 

 attractive foliage.

84. Finus austriaca. — Austrian pine (Austria). Height, 30 to 60 feet. A very 

 handsome pine with dark green rigid leaves and upright branches. This is a very com- 

 pact growing species and one of the most beautiful. 



*85. Pinus montana Mughus. — Dwarf mountain pine (Mountains of Central 

 Europe). Height, 2 to 10 feet. This is a very ornamental, dwarf, compact pine. Its 

 height varies considerably, some specimens being quite dwarf and others attaining a 

 height of about 10 feet. 



86. Pinus ponderosa. — Heavy wooded or bull pine (British Columbia). Height, 50 

 to 80 feet. The bull pine is one of the most handsome species. The long glaucous 

 green leaves, sometimes twisted into peculiar forms, and its upright branches, give it a 

 very majestic appearance. 



87. Pinus resinosa. — Red pine (Canada). Height, 40 to 60 feet. Not unlike the 

 Austrian pine when young, but becoming less stift in form as it becomes larger. The 

 leaves are also much softer than those of the Austrian pine. 



88. Pinus Sylvp.stris. — Scotch pine (Europe). Height, 40 to 60 feet .A very rapid 

 growing pine with bluish green leaves. It is not so shapely as some of the other species, 

 but grows well in nearly all kinds of thoroughly drained soils. 



89. Pinus Strobus. — White pine (Canada). Height, 50 to 75 feet. The white pine 

 is better known as a timber tree in Canada than as an ornamental tree, but when it 

 branches from near the ground, and has sufficient space to develop symmetrically, it 

 becomes one of the most graceful evergreens grown. The leaves which preserve their 

 colour well in winter are a very lively green.
