RETINISPORA. Japan Cedar. 



Botanists include all Retinisporas in two 

 species — Obtusa and Pisifera — but we classify 

 them as received, and in accordance with 

 general custom. The whole family is especially 

 desirable because of its varying forms, habits 

 and character. Being of medium growth, they 

 are adapted for small places and for use in 

 Evergreen beds. They bear any amount of 

 shearing, with improvement in density of foli- 

 age and change of form if desired. In addition 

 to sorts here named, we offer a limited number 

 of rare varieties. 



— obtusa. 25 feet. One of the best Retinisporas. 

 Color green in Summer, bronze in Winter. 



aurea. 20 feet. Identical with the preced- 

 ing, except in color, which is of a pronounced 

 golden tint. This is a most desirable tree be- 

 cause of its color, form and habit. 



compacta. 4 feet. This is a magnificent 



form of Obtusa, very dense, with beautiful con- 

 cave fronds, like green shells. 



filicoides. 5 feet. Bright green. Very dense 



and exquisite fern-like foliage.
