Retinospora  plumosa,  var.  aurea.  Golden 
Retinospora.  (S)  The  most  popular  and  gener- 
\>     ally  useful  of  all  the  golden  evergreens.  In 
character  it  resembles  the  R.  plumosa.  Is  espe- 
cially  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  symmetrical  and  regular. 
It  is  low-branched,  and  the  golden  yellow  foliage 
brushes  the  green  grass  in  beautiful  contrast. 
A  vigorous  grower,  that  is  unsurpassed  for  color 
effect  in  grouping.  It  is  well  adapted  for  small 
lawns,  and  equally  appropriate  for  larger  areas. 
For  window-boxes,  vases  or  formal  gardening, 
its  value  is  recognized.       Each     Doz.  loo

Taxus  •  Yews 
The  Yews  are  slow-growing,  generally  small  trees,  that  do  well  in  most  soils  and  possess  a  particu- 
larly fresh-looking  foliage.  They  are  highly  ornamental  and  effective  as  specimens  or  in  groups.  Yews 
withstand  clipping  well,  but  they  require  the  protection  of  sheltered  positions  in  places  north  of 
Philadelphia. 
Taxus  baccata.  English  Yew.  (S)  A  slow-grow- 
ing, thickly  branched  tree,  with  small  dark 
green  leaves.  Long-lived,  ornamental,  and  de- 
sirable for  cemeteries  and  specimens.  With- 
stands close  shearing. 
3  to  4  feet  $2  00 
var.  fastigiata.  Irish  Yew.  (S)  Slender,  py- 
ramidal tree,  that  retains  its  shape  without 
trimming.  Dark,  glossv  green  leaves. 
2  feet  *  $1  50

Taxus  baccata,  var.  fastigiata  aurea.  Golden 
Irish  Yew.  (S)  The  habit  of  growth  and  shape 
of  this  tree  are  the  same  as  the  Irish  Yew.  The 
striking  difference  is  that  in  spring  the  new 
growth  of  this  variety  is  a  light  golden  yellow. 
As  the  season  advances  the  color  changes  until 
in  winter  the  golden  hue  has  vanished  and  left 
the  trees  as  green  as  the  other  forms.  A  splen- 
did thing  for  formal  work  and  color  contrasts.

Thuya  •  Arborvitae 
These  highly  ornamental  trees,  though  many  are  of  upright  habit,  do  not  grow  to  great  heights, 
and  are  appropriate  for  small  lawns  as  well  as  larger  areas.  They  are  generally  hardy,  growing  vig- 
orously in  varied  soils,  and  easily  transplanted.  Their  clean,  neat,  compact  appearance  and  the  soft, 
frondlike  foliage,  in  many  cases  so  brightly  colored,  make  them  useful  in  grouping,  bedding,  bordering 
and  formal  gardening,  for  cemetery  and  lawn  specimens,  for  hedges,  screens,  window-boxes,  vases  and 
house  decoration.
