TEEE CULTURE m SOUTH AUSTRALIA. 8S 



It prefers a sandy-loam soil, ■with a good subsoil of a stronger character. 

 Does well, however, on almost any site in this country. It is at the 

 same time partial to somewhat sheltered spots, like the most of trees. 



Plenty of seed can now be got from trees grown in the colony. Sow 

 this thinly in rows or open beds in the nursery ground, and line out the 

 seedlings 6in. apart in nursery rows for one year before planting out. 

 The tree is very hardy and will transplant open-root with very little 

 trouble. 



CUPEESSXJS SEMPEEVIEENS B.OUJZONTALIS.-MUler. 

 (The Horizontal Cypress.) 



This tree is simply a variety of the upright C. sempervirens. The two 

 kinds are found growing together in their native forests, and together 

 form one species only. 



This variety is very spreading in its habit, and only grows to about 

 40ft. to 50ft. in height. It is a handsome tree, and well deserving of 

 having a place in our ornamental plantations. 



It is easily raised from the seed, and will grow luxuriantly in open 

 sandy loam soil. Not partial, however, to any particular soil. It is 

 most valuable for planting on limestone.
