The Golden" makes an admirable hed^e 
The Japanese Cypress 
A PsE you intimately acquainted with the large and ' growing" Japanese 
family known to the learned as the Retinosporas — and to common 
folk as the Japanese Cypresses? They are so versatile — so accom- 
modating and courteous — so aristocratic in tone — so brilliantly and withal so 
tastefully dressed — that to know them is to love them, and to add them to your 
treasured possessions is indeed to make life richer and more worth-while. 
We can introduce you to twenty-eight charming members cf this ever- 
green family, if you would know them all — or we might content ourselves 
here with mentioning some of the better known of the group; the Plumosa, 
or plume-like, with feathery foliage, of a fascinating dark green hue; the 
Golden, also plume-like in foliage, but of a bright golden color that makes it 
very popular indeed, — a favorite form for hedges (see illustration above): 
the Silver, which lends itself particularly well to formal effects; the Thread- 
branched, with long threadlike branches: the Pea-fruited, slender and grace- 
ful; the Obtusa, called Tree of the Sun by the Japanese — perhaps the most 
beautiful of all, with shell-like leaves of a rich dark green shade, like box- 
wood, — the nearest to the famed cypress of Italy that is never missing 
from a Maxfield Parrish landscape 
All of these members of the family have one great virtue — they respond 
most amiably to shearing, so their height can be regulated to suit your fancy 
and your ulterior object — whether it be a foundation planting, an evergreen 
bed, a hedge, an entrance group, a window box, or an individual specimen 
of proud mien. The cost is as low as S3, for a 2 ft Golden up to $30. 
for a 1 0 ft. Cbtusa, and so on. Price list on request, — and suggestions to 
suit your own grounds if you will kindly give a brief description of your lawn.
