Retinospora, or Japanese Cypress 



r"T^HIS group is unusually attractive because of the remarkable brightness, delicacy and variety shown 

 I in its foliage tints, and because of the pleasing feathery effect of some varieties, affording a ver\ 

 1 desirable contrast in groups of evergreens. The species are of varying habit and are 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 ornarnental plantings and particularly w-ell suited for color 

 contrasts, grouping, formal effects, windows-boxes and vases. Hedges and terrace borders are also among 

 their successful assignments. Occasional shearing renders them more compact and brightens their distinct, 

 refined and attractive colors. Individual specimens may be grow^n to splendid proportions, and are at all timesi 

 distinctive and artistic ornaments to the lawn. 



Obtuse-leaved Retinospora. Retinospora Ob- 

 TUSA. (M). A distinctive looking evergreen with a 

 rich dark green foliage arranged in flattened filaments. 

 It retains its lower branches well and is therefore 

 suited for specimen planting where it produces a 

 beautiful tree. In mixed groupings it is also used 

 effectively.
