Scotch  Pine 
Pinus  Sylvestris.  (M)  A  strong  grower, 
with  spreading  branches  and  short,  stiff,  bluish- 
green  needles.  Its  rapid  growth  makes  it  suited 
for  temporary  effects,  though  it  is  by  no  means  to 
be  despised  for  permanent  ones.  Splendid  for  mass 
plantings,  screens,  shelter-belts  and  seashore  use.

for  almost  any  purpose.  The  needles  are  soft  and 
dark  green,  though  sometimes  glaucous.

RETINOSPORA 
SOMETIMES  called  Japan  Cypress,  and  known  botanically  as  Chamaecyparis.  This  group  is  unusually 
attractive  because  of  the  remarkable  brightness,  delicacy  and  variety  shown  in  its  foliage  tints, 
and  because  of  the  pleasing  feathery  effect  of  some  varieties,  affording  a  very  desirable  contrast  in 
groups  of  evergreens.  The  species  generally  are  of  pyramidal  habit,  vigorous  growers  that  thrive  in  most 
soils,  and  seldom  attain  a  greater  height  than  40  feet.  Their  coloring  is  constant  and  attractive  at  all 
seasons.  They  are  useful  in  all  ornamental  plantings,  and  particularly  well  suited  for  color  contrasts, 
grouping,  formal  effects,  window-boxes,  vases  and  hedges.  Occasional  shearing  renders  them  more  com- 
pact and'  brightens  their  distinct,  refined  and  attractive  colors.  Individual  specimens  may  be  grown  to 
splendid  proportions,  and  are  at  all  times  distinctive  and  artistic  ornaments  to  the  lawn.
