and C. thyoides and its variety Andelyensis, the latter species 
from the east, the others from the northwest. C. Lawsoniana, 
even in most sheltered and favorable positions, was badly burned, 
and in more exposed situations practically killed. The variety 
Alumi is considerably hardier, burning on the tips only. C. 
Nootkatensis in groups or in sheltered places came through the 
winter in good condition, burning some in more exposed situa- 
tions. The white cedar, C. thyoides, was badly burned in a 
sheltered situation, some of the plants being killed. Its variety 
Andelyensis was also badly burned and killed 
The Japanese section of the genus, known commonly as Retini- 
spora, has proved very unsatisfactory. C. obtusa and its varie- 
ties, which heretofore have stood well, met -with disaster, ex- 
cepting in sheltered places. The golden forms seem to be hardier 
than the green ones, excepting the varieties filicoides and lyco- 
podioides which have stood equally well. C. pisifera and its 
varieties, excepting in well-sheltered places, or in groups, were 
badly damaged, the entire tops in some cases being killed. The 
variety plumosa sulphurea is exceptional in its hardiness, 
coming through in good condition. The varieties squarrosa 
and squarrosa Veitchtt burned badly, excepting when in groups 
or in very sheltered places. 
Thuya, with the single exception of T. japonica, was as un- 
stable as Chamaecyparis, burning badly excepting in sheltered 
situations. TJ occidentalis and T. orientalis, and their varieties, 
are not to be relied upon, excepting where protection may be 
afforded. The single exception in this genus, standing out 
markedly on account of its hardiness, is T. japonica, often found 
in nurseries under the name of JT. Standishti, or Thujopsis 
Standishii. This kept its rich deep green foliage throughout, 
arely killing on the very ends of the branches in some individual 
cases. It has been under observation here at the Garden for a 
number of years, and has always proved satisfactory. 
place on the ridge near the economic garden. These are the 
varieties glauca and aurea of C. atlantica, and C. Deodara.
