greenhouse is preferred, but dwarf forms always should 

 be grown from cuttings, as they often lose their dwarf 

 habit if grafted. The so-called Retinosporag of the gar- 

 dens, withlinear, spreading Ivs., are juvenile forms, which 

 have retained the foliage of the seedling state. There 

 are similar forms in Thuya. For their distinguishing 

 characters, see lielinonpora. For the numerous garden 

 forms, see Beissner, Handb. der Nadelholzk., pp. 64-99.
