The former sown as soon as ripe, in a light 

 moist soil, in a shady situation. They will 

 mostly appear the following spring. 



Cuttings may be taken off in the fall as 

 soon as the wood is firm, and put in a bed of 

 coarse sand, and kept shaded from the full 

 sun. They will require protection from frost, 

 or it will draw them out of the soil. Most 

 of them will be rooted by spring. They are 

 not so desirable for fine specimens as seed- 

 lings. 



2. C. TORULOSA, David Don. Leaves 

 ovate, obtuse, imbricated in four rows. Main 

 branches crowded, ascending; small branches 

 much crowded, round, closely imbricated 

 with leaves, often recurved at the points. 

 Twisted cypress. Native of Nepaul. 



A very beautiful and distinct species. 



It does not prove entirely hardy here, but 

 sufficiently so as to demand notice. The 

 finest I have seen in the vicinity is about 

 three feet. It is readily propagated from 

 cuttings, like No. 1.
