CUPRESSUS • Cypress 



^7he CYPRESS are stately evergreen trees with a range of color from bright green to 

 silvery blue. They make valuable specimens and form a colorful and charming background 

 for smaller evergreen and deciduous plants. The following sorts are hardy in this vicinity 

 and we place them high in the ranks of beautiful, serviceable, cultivated trees. 



CUPRESSUS funebris (Mourning Cypress). 



Under favorable conditions it will grow to sixty feet. 

 The foliage is light green and the branches are 

 wide spreading, slightly drooping at the ends. An 

 excellent specimen. 



C. lawsoniana (Lawson Cypress). A tall, 



pyramidal, extremely formal type, having very dis- 

 tinctive silvery blue foliage. Useful for color varia- 

 tion. 



C. lawsoniana lutea (Golden Lawson Cypress). 



Compact in habit, the young growth is a very clear 

 yellow. 



This springtime picture of Towson's Garden will be remembered by thousands of flower lovers, In the autumn 

 radiant golds, browns, reds and a myriad of other warm colors contrast with the coolness of the evergreens and 



azure of the autumn sky.
