Retinospora, or Japanese Cypress 



JAPANESE trees that grow well here 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 contrasts, 

 grouping, formal effects, window-boxes and vases. Hedges and terrace borders are also among their suc- 

 cessful assignments. 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.

 Obtusa. (M). Of upright growth. The soft green 

 foliage, arranged in flat filaments, is rich in appear- 

 ance. The lower branches are retained. Suited for
