not impaired, either by the suu's rays in summer, or the frost 

 in winter. 



It is a very desirable kind, on ^account of the fine canary 

 colour, which is diffused all over the branchlets. 



CuPEESSUS Lawsoniana erecta vieidis, a. Waterer, the 

 Bright-Green Erect Lawson's Cypress. 



This is a very fine and distinct kind with a dense, compact, 

 fastigiate head, and very close, erect, slender branchlets of a 

 beautiful bright-green colour. It was raised in the Nursery of 

 Mr. Anthony Waterer, at KnaphUl, Surrey, and is very su- 

 perior to either the Upright Cypress, Irish Yew, or Swedish 

 Juniper, for planting singly on terraces or in formal Flower 

 Gardens, on account of its upright and very compact habit, 

 and fine bright green colour. 



This variety of Lawson's Cypress must not be confounded 

 with the one known under the names of erecta and viridis 

 {see p. 87), as it is more upright and compact in its habit, and 

 of a more beautiful green tint. 



Ctjpeessxts Nutkaensis attrea vaeiegata, M. Young, the 



Golden Variegated Nootka Sound Cypress. 



Syn. Thuiopsis Borealis aurea yariegata, Hort. 



This is a fine and constant variegated form, with a good 



portion of the lesser branchlets of a light bronzy-yellow colour, 



which becomes much brighter in the summer. 



It originated in the nursery of Mr. Maurice Young, at Mil- 

 ford, in a leading shoot on the common form of the species. 



CuPRESSUS Nutkaensis compacta, Hort, the Compact Nootka 



Sound Cypress. 



Syn. Thuiopsis Borealis compacta. Sort. 



This is a Belgian variety, somewhat pyramidal in shape, 



with the branches and branchlets more compact, slenderer, and 



of a brighter green than the species. 



It is tolerably distinct, and forms a close, bushy head, without 

 a leading shoot.
