HARDY PICTORIAL TREES. 257 



Buxus sempervirens aurea (the Gold-edged Box). 

 Evergreen. Height, 8 feet. An invaluable and very 

 hardy evergreen of formal growth, that may be clipped at 

 pleasure. 



Chamcecyparis splicer oidea variegata. Evergreen. 

 Height, 10 feet. A graceful Cypress-like plant. Leaves 

 green, beautifully blotched with gold. 



Eleagnus pungens variegata. Evergreen. Height 8 

 feet. Leaves green, broadly and distinctly margined with 

 bright gold. 



Euonymus japonicus aureo-variegatus. Evergreen. 

 Height, 8 feet. Leaves dark green, with bright yellow 

 blotch in centre, very beautiful. Euonymus japonicus 

 aureo-marginatus is also a beautiful variety of this plant, 

 the leaves being regularly edged instead of blotched with 

 gold. 



Ilex Aqidfolium aurea (the Gold Holly). Evergreen. 

 Height, 3 to 20 feet. The old Gold Holly is perhaps the 

 best for general purposes, because it grows so freely. Of 

 others, picta, flava, aurea angustifolia, bicolor, speciosa, 

 and obscura are the best ; aurea nana and aurea pumila 

 are beautiful dwarf kinds of great value in ornamental 

 gardening. In the garden and in shrubberies these 

 Gold Hollies can hardly be omitted. 



Juniperus virginiana atirea (the Golden Cedar). 

 Evergreen. Height, 20 feet Leaves green and gold in 

 patches ; an effective and beautiful small tree. 



Ligustrum japonicum variegatum (the variegated Japan 

 Privet). Evergreen. Height, 6 feet. Leaves dark green, 

 beautifully blotched with gold. 



Ligustrum lucidum variegatum (the variegated Chinese 

 Privet). Evergreen. Height, 8 feet. Leaves green, much 

 larger than the preceding, evenly and broadly margined 

 with gold. A very showy plant. 



Retinospora pisifera aurea. Evergreen. Height, 6 feet. 

 A Juniper-like plant, of a golden hue. 



Rhododendron ponticum foliis aureis. Evergreen.
