This plant is closely allied to the Araucarias, but hardier and well worth 
growing; when young its foliage turns brown in winter, and the plant 
appears sickly, but as it grows this is not perceptible. It is very graceful in 
its growth.

These are some of the best varieties of the cypress jud. and grow 
remarkably fast and well, so much so that they will sooner than any coni- 
ferous plant I know form shelter. They are very handsome in their growth 
where they are allowed plenty of room to grow as speeimen plants; to crowd 
ihem up in shrubberies is to lose their graceful growth. The fastest 
growing of those named are macrocarpa and torulosa, both of which form 
large trees; the foliage of the former is a very beautiful green ; thurifera, 
macnabiana, and udheana are dwarfer in their growth ; pendula is a beautiful 
variety, but does not assume its pendulous character until attaining a good 
size. Altogether, few plants are more deserving of culture than the cypress 
tribe.
