CONIFEIwE. 75 



glaucous hue. In North America, and in favourable 

 localities in this country, it forms a tree fifty or sixty 

 feet high, much branched from the base of the trunk. 

 It is, however, seldom allowed to develope its true 

 character in our gardens, as it is usually placed 

 in the shrubbery with other plants, where it loses the 

 greater part of its lower branches. It should be 

 planted in situations free from the encroachments of 

 surrounding trees.

J. v. var. argentea. 

 (Silver-leaved Red Cedar.) 



Has foliage with a bright silvery hue, and is more 

 compact in habit and cylindrical in form than the
