about 1870. The finder grew one in his own garden at 

 Matteawan, N.Y., gave the second to Mr. Henry Winthrop 

 Sargent, of Fishkill; the third to Mr. H. H. Hunnewell, of 

 Wellesley, Mass.; and the fourth to Professor C. S. 

 Sargent, of Brookline, Boston. The second and third 

 are dead, but the first and fourth have made very fine 

 specimens. Grafted plants in general cultivation vary 

 considerably, some being dwarfer and more compact 

 than others. The best form makes a very compact 

 hemispherical mass of pendulous branches. 



Another dwarf pendulous form appeared as a seedling 

 at Wellesley; it has made a low, broadly conical bush of 

 pendulous branches, and at present is about 4 feet high 

 by as much through. 



Beissner records in addition : 



Ts. Canadensis, var. compacta nana, Beiss. (ii. 402). 



A densely branched, close-growing, low dwarf form, 

 with smaller leaves than var. nana. 



Ts. Canadensis, var. globosa, Beiss. (ii. 402). 



A handsome round, regular globose form, neither stiff 

 nor stunted, with nodding branch tips. 



Ts. Canadensis, var. pumila, Ordnung. (Beiss., ii. 89). 



A form at Eisenberg, in Bohemia; a rather crowded 

 branched dwarf conical form with nodding branch tops 

 and drooping branchlet tips. 



The plant at ten years old was 60 cm. high by as much 

 through. 



Ts. Canadensis, var. sparsifolia, Beiss. (ii. 89). 



A compact bush, with ascending branches and short 

 irregular branches thinly covered with very small leaves, 

 having the general appearance of a juniper. 



Ts. Caroliniana, var. compacta. 



Amongst the seedlings of Ts. Caroliniana raised at the 

 Arnold Arboretum in 1881, one displayed a dense slow-
