var.  aurea  pendula.  Weeping  Golden  Thread- 
branched  Retinospora.  (M)  This  is  a  beautiful 
evergreen  of  low  growth.  The  foliage  is  of  a 
rich  golden  hue,  with  occasional  leaves  of  deep 
green,  that  makes  a  striking,  though  pleasing 
contrast.  The  slender,  thread-like  branches  droop 
gracefully  to  the  ground,  making  a  small  golden 
fountain  of  foliage  that  blends  most  pleasingly 
with  the  green  grass.  It  is  an  uncommon  plant, 
and  a  very  useful  one  for  the  front  of  groups  or 
as  specimens.

var.  aurea.  Golden  Retinospora.  (S) 
The  most  popular  and  generally  useful  of 
all  the  golden  evergreens.  In  character  it 
resembles  the  R.  plumosa.  Is  especially 
ornamental,  and  the  soft,  plume-like  golden 
foliage  is  particularly  bright  in  spring. 
It  remains  a  deep  yellow  even  through  the 
winter.  When  pruned  it  becomes  sym- 
metrical and  regular.  It  is  low-branched, 
and  the  golden  yellow  foliage  brushes  the 
green  grass  in  beautiful  contrast.    A  vig-
