CRYPTOMERIA 



C. Japonica. (Mm) A Japanese evergreen. Of pyramidal form ; foliage of 

 a light green, set closely along the branches. Hardy here, and a variety that 

 should be more widely planted.

 and in a position where they will not be exposed to the full force of the winter sun.

 graceful, its slender pendulous branches when young are clothed with close, 

 delicate grayish green foliage. Not entirely hardy, except on high dry ground.

 sembles the type, but its foliage is spotted with creamy white.

 habit and elegant, graceful foliage. 



ILEX. Holly 



I. opaca. American Holly. (Ms) Our well-known native, branches of 

 which are much used during the Christmas season. Mostly of a shrubby 

 form in cultivation, but sometimes of good size. A tree with short, spreading 

 branches, forming a narrow pyramidal head ; oval leaves, dull green above

 quently, and can be transplanted with safety. (See plate on page 8.)
