Umbrella Pine— Sciadopitys Uerticiiiata. 
This rare and perfectly hardy evergreen from Japan is now becoming better known in this 
country. It always attracts the eye by its unique beauty. Its growth is in the form of a nar- 
row pyramid, leaves are produced in terminal whorls and as the leaves are dark green, glossy, 
3 to 6 inches long, it gives to the tree a plumed-like effect that is very striking. Our plants 
were imported from Japan and have now been in the nursery long enough to become well 
established.

Oriental Spruce— p«cea oriental 
A genuine gem among evergreens but will probably never be freely offered by nurserymen, 
as it is of such slow growth while young that it is difficult to get the average purchaser to ap- 
preciate its true worth. For instance, we imported several thousand of them four years ago. 
The plants we received were then four and five years old. We have since cared for them, trans- 
planting them several times and as a result have now a fine lot to offer, from one to two feet 
high, while Norway spruce obtained at the same time are from six to eight feet high, snow- 
ing the relative growth of these two spruces. This feature however makes them especially 
valuable for planting where a slow growing evergreen is desired, where space is limited, on 
the foreground of other plants, etc. The habit is pyramidal, lower branches somewhat pen- 
dulous and where allowed will sweep the ground as they develop. There is a refined, nn i s ^f 
rich color effect to this spruce which is not common to the same degree to any other of t 
ipruces. Our stock is especially well grown and should meet with ready sale from those w 
know its merits.
