Sequoia sempervirens Lawsoniana, Hort, Lawson's Califor- 



nian Redwood. 



This is a distinct variety, with much shorter and stouter 

 leaves, and a more rigid habit of growth than the original 

 species. 



It originated in Messrs. Lawson's nursery, at Edinburgh. 



Taxus baccata Elvastonensis, Barron, the Golden Elvaston 



Yew. 

 This is a distinct variety, with the leaves on the younger 

 parts of the plant of a bright orange colour. It is not a varie-

 of any of the golden varieties in the winter time. It originated 

 at Elvaston Castle, in Derbyshire. 



Taxus baccata variegata Barroni, Barron, Mr. Barron's 



Variegated Yew. 



This is a female variety, raised at Elvaston Castle from a 

 seed of the old golden yew. It is very symmetrical in habit, 

 forming a perfect pyramid, and is of much freer growth and 

 brighter in colour than the parent plant, and, being a fruit- 

 bearing variety, is very desirable. 



Taxus Canadensis vartegata, Hort, the Variegated Canadian 



Yew. 



This variety has all the leaves at the ends of the young 

 shoots, of a whitish colour, and those lower down more or less 

 margined with white ; but when the leaves are fully matured, 

 they assume the usual dull green of the species. 



Thuja gigantea atrovirens, Hort, the Dark Green Giant 



Arbor- Vitae. 



Syn. Thuja Lobbii atrovirens, R. Smith. 



This is a fine robust variety, of a very dark, glossy, green
