Dwarf Hinoki-Cypress, and to the right is the last low dark 

 evergreen. It is 



Chamaecyparis obtusa var. pygmaea, Pigmy Hinoki-Cypress 



This is a low prostrate form similar otherwise to var. nana. 

 The remaining five globose shrubs at the end are Sulphur- 

 colored Plumed-Retinosporas. 



It might be well, now, to inspect this entire group east of the 

 service road from the bank behind the trees. Beginning at the 

 western end we see first a Golden Thread-Retinospora surrounded 

 by four large equally sized Sawara Cypresses. To the left are 

 several more Sawara Cypresses. Turning eastward there are, half 

 way down the bank, two Thread Retinosporas. Below them are 

 the two Golden Slender Hinoki-Cypresses already noted from 

 the path. 



Next along the bank nearer us, is another Sawara Cypress and 

 below it one of the old Snlphur-colored Moss-Retinosporas with a 

 Thread Retinospora between them. The slender one close by us 

 is the Fern-spray Retinospora. 



Next to the left we pass a Golden Plumed-Retinospora and 

 below it is the other Sulphur-colored Plumed-Retinospora. Then 

 to our left is a lower dense Sawara Cypress near us and then a 

 big Golden Plumed-Retinospora with a similar one below it. 



Next comes a Golden Hinoki-Cypress and a Dwarf Hinoki- 

 Cypress together, followed by a big Sawara Cypress to the left. 

 After that is an equally tall Plumed Retinospora and then a great 

 Sawara Cypress. 



Next is a smaller Snlphur-colored Retinospora with a similar 

 one below it. Then a large Plumed Retinospora followed by an 

 even taller Sawara Cypress. 



Next we see a very nicely shaped round Thread Retinospora 

 with a Sulphur-colored Plumed-Retinospora below it ; in the middle 

 is a Young's Golden Hinoki-Cypress (p. 101) close to the big 

 Sawara Cypress. Next to the left is another Sulphur-colored 

 Plumed Sawara- Cypress similar to the one nearer the road.
