quite yellow. Not hardy north of New Jer- 

 sey, but most effective among the darker 

 evergreens. Needs much shearing to make 

 it thick and bushy. 



R. SQUARROSA VEiTCHii. A low-growing, 

 bushy variety with feathery, silvery, blue- 

 green foliage. Hardy only south of New York 

 except in very protected situations. In other 

 places it must be covered in winter. It 

 requires much shearing. 



SCIADOPITYS (Umbrella Pine). 3 feet up- 

 ward. A Japanese evergreen that is partic- 

 ularly beautiful. The foliage is in the shape 

 of rather long, broad needles growing around 

 a center point a light, yellowish green above, 

 and quite white underneath. It stands out 

 in sharp contrast to other evergreens, and 

 should always be planted where it can sur- 

 vive the winters, for it will not live much 

 further north than New Jersey. 



THUYA (Arborvitse) . 3 feet upward. All 

 the varieties of this evergreen are hardy. 

 Most satisfactory and best-known are:
