— *Nivea (Dwarf White, 4 ft.)— A handsome globular variety, that forms a bush 

 from 4 to 6 feet in diameter, clothed with a dense mass of soft, silvery foliage ; 

 one of the prettiest dwarf evergreens. 

 Umbraculifera (3 ft.)— Another dwarf, white, of spreading growth. Quite new. 



* Sylvestris (Scotch, 30 ft.)— A fine, robust, rapid growing tree, with short, erect 



branches and silvery green foliage, largely planted. 

 — Beuvronnensis (3 ft,) — One of the best dwarf pines. 



— Globosa (Dwarf Scotch, 4 ft.)— A useful dwarf, globular form, of very compact 

 growth. 



RF,TlNOSPORA (Chamsecyparis, Japan Cypress). 



This is a most interesting family of evergreens, mostly of dwarf habit, and 

 particularly suited to small places. Many have yellow or white shades in the 

 foliage, which makes them very showy. They transplant easily. 



* F,ricoides (3 ft.)— Heath-like. Regular conical, compact pyramidal bush, desirable 



for contrast from its violet red color in winter. 

 Filicoides (2 ft.)— Fern-like. Bright green pointed foliage, very dense and 

 exquisitely fern -like. 



*Filiferia (Thread-branched Japan Cypress, 10 ft.)— Perfectly upright leader, 

 and main branches quite horizontal, yet the slender, smaller branches are of a 

 peculiarly graceful and weeping habit, giving a very choice effect to the whole. 

 Foliage of a pleasing light green shade. One of the showiest of hardy evergreens. 



— Aurea (2 ft.) — Golden thread-branched. This promises to be one of the 

 handsomest of the family with all the gracefulness of the last, and branches 

 of a beautiful golden color. A great acquisition. Of very slow growth. 



Filiformus Pendula (2 ft.)— A graceful and distinct variety, with long, slender 

 drooping sprays. 



I/ycopodioides (Club-moss Retinospora, 3 ft.)— A curious, and when well grown, 

 a beautiful tree. 



Obtusa (10 ft.)— A tall- growing variety, with spreading graceful foliage of 



bright green, glaucous beneath, valuable. 

 — Aurea (6 ft. )— Of slower growth and foliage, decidedly golden. Rare. 



— Compacta (3 ft.) — This is a magnificent form of Obtusa, very dense, with 



beautiful concave fronds, like green shells. 

 — Gracillis Aurea (4 ft.) — A choice variety of graceful form in which the 



spreading branches are elongated at their extremities, and the small shoots 



are in their young growth brightly colored in gold, fading later to a more 



verdant shade. 



— Nana (Dwarf Obtuse, 3 ft. ) — A very attractive and singular variety, 

 forming a dwarf cushion-shaped little bush, seldom more than one or two feet high, 

 but spreading out in a horizontal direction, and becoming a large, dense, flat tuft 

 of glossy deep green spray when old. One of the most interesting conifers. 



— Nana Aurea (Golden Dwarf Obtuse, 3 ft.)— Similar to the last in form s 

 of slower growth, with foliage of a rich bronze yellow. One of the finest and 

 most constant of variegated evergreens. 



Pisifera (Pea-fruited, 15 ft.)— Smaller than R. Obtusa, with fine, feathery 

 foliage ; branches glaucous underneath. A distinct and beautiful variety. 



— * Aurea (15 ft.) — A rare and very handsome golden form of Pisifera. Color 

 very bright and most constant. 



* Plumosa (Plumed, 15 ft.)— One of the best of Japanese introductions, being 



hardy and graceful, with delicate glaucous foliage. 

 — Argentea (Silver Plumed, 3 ft.) — A silver tipped variety of the preceding. 



— - Aurea (Golden Plumed, 15 ft.) — This is a most beautiful and valuable variety; 

 its shoots are golden-tinted through the year, and brighter in the winter. 

 It is unsurpassed for massing. In greatest demand. 



* Squarrosa Veitchii (Japan, 12 ft.) — Round headed, bushy, covered with 



numerous small leaves of a bright blue tint, densely branched, curved and 

 gracefully spreading.
