RETINOSPORA 



SOMETIMES called Japanese Cypress, and known botanically as Chamsecyparis.*^ 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 ver^- desirable con- 

 trast 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 con- 

 trasts, grouping, formal effects, window-boxes, vases and hedges. Occasional shearing renders them 

 more compact 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.
