A very beautiful species of evergreen of refined appearance, 1 to 2 feet, 
medium size, remaining green through the winter. The follow- 2 to 3 feet,

which are certainly most interesting. 3 to 4 feet.

(Obtusa) have, through centuries of peculiarly guided selection 
by the Japanese, given rise to a number of distinct and beautiful 
varieties, so different in appearance from their types that one 
would hardly recognize any close relation. The following _ 
twelve varieties of (Pisifera) are all very fine garden evergreens

A very beautiful species but not reliably hardy for planting 
out of doors north of Washington, D.C., through the winter, but 
makes an ideal tub plant and will stand the treatment given to 
specimen box plants when grown in tubs. Our plants have been 
imported for this purpose and are shapely specimens.
