known as Veitch's Sawara-Cypress. In the Garden, however, the 

 shorter scientific name just given has heen reserved for another 

 lower and more prostrate form which we shall see later. 



A more pleasing shape which the Moss Retinospora assumes in 

 the open will be apparent when we meet other specimens. 



The next tree to the right of the two just pointed out and close 

 to the bed we should recognize as another Dwarf Hinoki-Cypress 

 and behind it we can see the Moss Retinosporas or Veitch's 

 Sawara- Cypresses within the group. 



The next five larger trees extending in a row down the bed are 



Chamaecyparis pisifera var. plumosa, the Plumed 

 Sawara-Cypress 



This is one of the most extensively planted forms, commonly 

 known as the Plumed Retinospora. Unfortunately, it is subject 

 to windburn, when the foliage turns brown. 



At the end of this row we find another Dwarf Hinoki-Cypress, 

 set back a bit, taller but not so fully foliaged as the other speci- 

 mens we have already passed. To the right of it and closer to the 

 flower bed is another dark-green conifer, low and close to the 

 ground. Except for its height it is scarcely distinguishable from 

 the Dwarf Hinoki-Cypress. It is 



Chamaecyparis obtusa var. gracilis, the Slender Hinoki-Cypress 



This and the Dwarf Hinoki-Cypress are very similar and at 

 times difficult to separate. The former is characterized by its 

 stringy new growth in spring and the foliage is not so compact. 

 A taller tree of this variety stands ahead of us. 



Directly to the right of this little Slender Hinoki-Cypress, the 

 small lighter-colored evergreen of about the same size is a Sawara 

 Cypress, which we shall consider when we see larger trees. To 

 the right of it are four small yellowish plants with stringy foliage. 

 These young ones and the six larger yellowish ones in a row 

 behind them are
