Var, plicata variegata, Carriere. This new plant is 

 said to be quite prettily spotted with prtle yellow, and is 

 of rather weaker growth than the species. It originated 

 in France. 



Var, variegata,-ow^o?i; and var, argentea, Carriere, 

 the former having the foliage spotted with yellow, and the 

 latter with white, are not very valuable or showy, even to 

 the lovers of this class of plants. 



Var. Iloveyi, Sort. We are very nmch pleased with 

 this comparatively new plant, and predict it will prove to 

 be popular when better tested. The foliage is of a bright 

 yellowish green, and the plant compact and globular in 

 form. It reminds one of a fine Golden Arbor Vitas, and is 

 perfectly hardy. 



Var. pufflila, Sooth. A dwarf, neat bush, very dense, 

 and perfect in form, having innumerable small branchlets, 

 closely packed together. The outline is regularly rounded, 

 and the color is of a charming shade of green. 



Var. liana, Soopes. This is an accidental seedling that 

 originated in our own grounds a few years since. It is 

 dwarf in growth, and very dissimilar to the above in its 

 habit. We have grown it for several years, and are quite 

 pleased with its appearance in a collection. 



Var. globosa, Sort. This very pretty kind is grown 

 extensively ai'ound Philadelphia, but appears to be un- 

 known elsewhere. It is remarkably globular in shape, and 

 very dense and dwarf in growth. It is exceedingly pop- 

 ular wherever known. 



Var. peildula, Gordon. Syn. var. asplenifolia, Sort. 

 A handsome, rapid-growing variety, with the branchlets 

 and foliage in tufts at the extremities of the drooping 

 branches. It originated in Standish's Nursery, Bagshot, 

 England. Our experience with it for several years has 

 been very satisfactory, amd we can recommend it.
