Then comes another Thread Retinospora with a Dwarf Hinoki- 

 Cypress to the right below it. To the left of the Thread Retinos- 

 pora is a Weeping Thread-Retinospora. Then comes the low 

 Chamaecy parts pisifera var. squamosa, spreading on the ground- 

 Next is a taller Plumed Retinospora followed by a Golden Thread- 

 Retinospora and then three more tall Plumed Retinosporas. Be- 

 tween the first two is a Chamaecy paris obtttsa var. magnifica. 



The last yellow bushy shrubs are Sulphur-colored Plumed 

 Retinosporas. 



Section 2 



Section 2 of the Cypresses is located on the south side of the 

 outer road in front of Conservatory Range 1 and near the eastern 

 end of the road. The trees stand near the apex of the area be- 

 tween the road and the path on its south side (Map p. 7). Going 

 westward down this sloping path from the road the first two ever- 

 greens on our right are 



Chamaecyparis Lawsoniana var. Alumii, the Blue Pyramidal 

 Port-Orford Cedar or Scarab Cypress 



This is one of the handsomest blue-tinted evergreens. The 

 foliage is more delicate and softer than that of the Colorado Blue- 

 Spruce and in spring when the fresh new leaves appear this 

 variety is exceptionally fine. Its habit is very erect and pyramidal, 

 as we shall see in other trees just ahead. 



The next smaller evergreen near the foot of the low stone 

 wall is 



Chamaecyparis thyoides var. andelyensis, the Andelyan 

 White-Cedar 



This variety shows no particular characters and dues not thrive 

 well in the Garden. 



The next tall evergreen close to the stone wall and a similar one 

 almost directly in front of it are 



Chamaecyparis Lawsoniana, the Port-Orford or Lawson Cypress
