MornsviUe,  Pennsylvania 
Are  the  foundations  of  your  house  bare  and  angular  ?  If 
so,  soften  them  with  foliage,  as  we  have  done  here.  Small 
growing  evergreens  are  best  because  they  are  bright  and  attrac- 
tive the  year  'round.  Deciduous  shrubbery  is  less  expensive, 
and  where  Winter  decoration  is  not  desired  it  may  very  prop- 
erly be  planted  in  such  places. 
Silver  Retinospora 
Retinospora  squarrosa,  var.  Veitchii.  (S) 
Possesses  the  merit  of  R.  Plumosa,  resembles  it  in 
character,  and  is  useful  in  the  same  way.  The 
foliage  is  feathery,  and  of  a  rich,  silvery  glaucous  or 
steel  blue  that  contrasts  finely  with  the  dark  green 
and  golden  tints  of  other  varieties.  One  of  the 
most  showy  and  attractive  of  the  class.  We  have 
a  stock  of  magnificent  trees.  See  illustration,

TAXUS.  YEWS

HE  Yews  are  slow-growing,  generally  small  trees,  that  do  well  in  most  soils.  They  are  highly  orna-
