OF ORNAMENTAL TREES. 231 



put in sandy soil early in the fall, and slightly 

 protected through winter. It is sometimes 

 raised from layers. 



3. T. PENDULA, Lambert. Leaves like 

 small scales, opposite, imbricate, ovate-lance- 

 olate, mucronate, decurrent. Cones ovate-ob- 

 long, produced in clusters at the ends of the 

 branches. Seeds wingless. Weeping arbor 

 vitae. Native of Japan and China. 



A very peculiar looking small tree of about 

 fifteen feet high. Its slender, apparently leaf- 

 less branchlets, hang down very gracefully. 

 It is one of the prettiest evergreens yet intro- 

 duced for planting by the sides of walks in 

 the pleasure-ground. 



4. T. PLICATA, Don. Allied to No. 1. 

 The branchlets are compressed and flattened, 

 shining on the upper surface, and the lower 

 of a dull green, dotted with stomata. Plicate 

 arbor vitae. Native of the north-west coast. 



A considerable improvement on No. 1, 

 growing more compact, and with a fuller 

 habit of growth, though, I believe, never 

 reaching the same height.
