GOLD DUST CYPRESS 



(Retinospora plumosa Lovetti) 

 THE QUEEN OF ORNAMENTAL TREES 



If Koster's Blue Spruce is the King of evergreen trees, Gold Dust Cypress 

 is, undoubtedly, the Queen, for it is a conifer of ideal form, with bright gold- 

 en leafage throughout the year. In habit of growth, it is pyramidal with 

 broad base, exceedingly full, compact and dense. (The above picture is 

 from a photograph of the parent plant and several of its "young ones," all 

 shown naturally without pruning) ; and the foliage has the appearance of 

 being heavily dusted with pure gold dust — hence the name. It does not 

 burn or scald in summer, as many (almost all other golden or yellow- 

 leaved evergreens) do, and does not become dull and unattractive in win- 

 ter, as do others of its class. In brief, during the entire summer a group of 

 it is as brilliant and gay as a bed of yellow flowers ; and it presents a pleas- 

 ing and cheerful aspect throughout the year. In addition to its other val- 

 uable properties, it is absolutely hardy. 



This superb variety originated near the Monmouth Nursery. We 

 purchased the entire stock of it ten years ago and have since then con- 

 stantly given it the severest of tests. We are pleased to state it has not 

 developed a defect of any kind; and we now offer it as a beautiful, bright 

 golden hardy conifer without a fault. 



Price (with ball of earth at roots) 2^ feet, $5.00 each.
