Cedrus The Cedars 



The true Cedars are justly classed among the most stately and beautiful trees, and in the South may 

 be relied upon in the composition of park and garden effects. They thrive best in porous, well-drained 

 soils, fully exposed to the sun. 



Cedrus atlantica. Mr. ATLAS CEDAR. A large and 

 stately tree and the hardiest of the true Cedars, thriv- 

 ing in sheltered situations in Southern New York. 

 Native of the Atlas Mountains. Of pyramidal, but 

 ]oosely formal outline. Foliage silvery green, disposed 

 in tufts and fascicles and contrasting strongly with the 

 greenery of other trees. Cones 2 to 3 inches long, light 

 Brown. A rapid-growing tree with a wide range of 

 adaptability. 



C. atlantica glauca. Mr. ATLAS SILVER CEDAR. A 

 remarkable form with almost silvery white foliage. A 

 very beautiful and vigorous tree. The blue forms of 

 evergreens are hardier than the green ones, and this 

 handsome tree is no exception to the rule. 



C. deodara. DEODAR, OR INDIAN CEDAR. A majestic 

 tree of pyramidal outline from the Himalaya Moun- 

 tains. Along the seaboard from Washington, and 

 especially in the Southern States and California, the 

 Deodar is usually very satisfactory. Leaves in tufts or 

 fascicles, bluish green. Cones 3 to 5 inches long, red- 

 dish brown. A magnificent lawn tree. 



C. libani. CEDAR OF LEBANON. This venerable tree 

 appeals to us with greater interest than perhaps any of 

 the other conifers. Its associations with antiquity and 

 the Sacred Writings and its great size and beauty com- 

 mend it. More hardy than the Deodar. Foliage dark 

 green and lustrous, sometimes bluish. Cones 3 to 4 

 inches long, brown at maturity. 



Chamaecyparis The Cypress and White Cedars 



A group of beautiful evergreens, including some of the most interesting trees and shrubs in Nature. 

 They are valuable as garden and park ornaments, and, in the smaller sizes, are widely used in window- 

 boxes, jardinieres and tubs. Adapted to a very wide range of soils and climate. 



Chamaecyparis lawsoniana (Cuflressus lawsoniana). 

 LAWSON'S CYPRESS. A tall and graceful tree with hori- 

 zontal and mostly pendulous branches, occurring in a 

 wild state from Oregon to California. Foliage bright 



frayish green, disposed in fern-like expansions, 

 hould not be planted north of the Middle States. One 

 of the most beautiful evergreens in cultivation. 



C. lawsoniana bowleri. WEEPING LAWSON'S CYPRESS. 

 The branches of this graceful form are more slender 

 and pendulous than those of the typical trees, of a 

 darker green and of more dense and compact habit. 



C. lawsoniana glauca. BLUE LAWSON'S CYPRESS. One 

 of the hardier forms. Branchlets and 

 foliage with a most pronounced me- 

 tallic glaucous tint. Very beautiful 

 and desirable. 



C. nutkaensis ( Cupressus nutkten- 

 sis ; Thuyopsis borealis). 

 NOOTKA SOUND CYPRESS. A 

 handsome tree occurring from 

 Sitka to Oregon. Broadly con- 

 ical in outline, the ascending 

 branches drooping at the tips. 

 Foliage deep glaucous green, 

 very dense. Fully as hardy as the 

 Japanese species and very satisfac- 

 tory. Highly recommended. 



C. nutkaensis compacta. COMPACT 

 NOOTKA SOUND CYPRESS. Of dwarf 

 dense habit,forming a compact shrub 

 of deepest green. 



C. nntkaensis glauca. NOOTKA 

 SOUND BLUE CYPRESS. A form with 

 a pronounced glaucous color. Our 

 stock has been carefully selected 

 from the bluest specimens. 



C. nutkaensis pendula. NOOTKA 

 SOUND WEEPING CYPRESS. A 

 graceful form with slender, pendu- 

 lous branches, densely clothed with 

 lustrous green foliage. 



C. obtusa (Retinospora obtusa}. 

 JAPANESE CYPRESS. A handsome 

 tree from Japan, where it has been 

 cultivated from time immemorial. 

 The famous miniature trees, pro- 

 duced by clipping and contorting 

 and often trained into picturesque 

 or ideal shapes, are largely of this 

 species. Many of these dwarfed 

 plants are of great age and high 

 value. A Strong, vigorous tree with Chamecypaiu lawsoniana 



horizontal fern-like branches, more or less pendulous. 

 Foliage bright green and shining, somewhat whitened 

 beneath. A satisfactory and desirable tree. 



C. obtusa aurea. GOLDEN JAPANESE CYPRESS. A 

 smaller and more slender tree than the type. Foliage 

 bright golden yellow, more intense during the growing 

 period. 



C. obtusa nana. DWARF JAPANESE CYPRESS. The 

 smallest of the Japanese Cypress, rarely exceeding a 

 foot or so in height. Very dense, bright green sprays 

 of foliage. Curious and ornamental. Valuable for 

 miniatures in jardinieres. 



C. obtusa nana aurea. DWARF- 

 GOLDEN JAPANESE CYPRESS. Simi- 

 lar to the last but of a pleasing golden 

 yellow color. Very unique. 



C. pisifera (Retinospora pisifera}. 

 SAWARA, OR PEA-FRUITED CYPRESS. 

 A Japanese evergreen of great hardi- 

 ness and vigor. All of the forms are 

 extremely valuable and are widely 

 cultivated. This is one of the trees 

 which the Japanese produce in min- 

 iature by clipping, pruning and 

 contorting. Foliage bright green, 

 borne on somewhat pendulous 

 branches. A beautiful tree but not 

 so common in cultivation as its nu- 

 merous varieties. 



C. pisifera aurea. GOLDEN PEA- 

 FRUITED CYPRESS. The new growth 

 is rich golden yellow, eventually 

 changing to greener hues. Very 

 distinct and showy. 



C.pisifera filifera. THKI.AD- 

 BRANCHED CYPRESS. A remarkably 

 decorative tree, the branches thread- 

 like, gracefully pendulous and much 

 elongated. Foliage bright green. 

 Isolated specimens, when well estab- 

 lished, command attention and ad- 

 miration wherever seen. 



C. pisifera filifera aurea. GOLDEN 

 THREAD-BRANCHED CYPRESS. Sim- 

 ilar to the last, but of a bright golden 

 yellow color. 



C. pisifera plumosa. PLUME-LIKE 

 CYPRESS. A small dense tree of 

 conical outline. Foliage bright 

 green, disposed in numerous feath- 

 ery branchlets. One of the most 

 popular varieties.
