Retinospora or Japanese Cypress 



SOMETIMES called Japanese 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 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 forty 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 and vases. Hedges and terrace borders are also among 

 their successful assignments. Occasional shearing renders them more compact and brightens their dis- 

 tinct, refined and attractive colors. Individual specimens may be grown to splendid proportions, and 

 are at all times distinctive and artistic ornaments to the lawn.
