Retinospora  plumosa  aurea,  continued. 
It  remains  a  deep  yellow  even  through  the 
winter.  When  pruned  it  becomes  symmetri- 
cal and  regular.  It  is  low-branched,  and  the 
golden  yellow  foliage  brushes  the  green  grass 
in  beautiful  contrast.  A  \igorous  grower, 
that  is  unsurpassed  for  color  effect  in  group- 
ing. It  is  well  adapted  for  small  lawns,  and 
■equally  appropriate  for  larger  areas.  For 
window-boxes,  vases,  or  formal  gardening, 
its  value  is  realized.  We  have  foreseen  the 
demand  for  this  evergreen  and  have  developed 
a  choice  stock,  especially  of  the  larger  sizes.
