MOON'S E VEICGTLEENS 



Retinospora, or 

 Japanese Cypress 



THIS group is unusually attractive 

 because of the remarkable brightness, 

 delicacy and variety shown in its foli- 

 age tints, and because of the pleasing feathery 

 effect of some varieties, affording a very 

 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 color- 

 ing 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 bor- 

 ders are also among their successful assignments. Occasional shearing renders them more compact and 

 brightens their distinct, refined and attractive colors. Individual specimens may be grown to splendid pro- 

 portions, and are at all times 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.
