PINE, WHITE — The most ornamental of all our native 
pine; foliage light, delicate, or silvery-green; flourishes in 
the poorest soils. 
RETINOSPORA (Japanese Cypress or Japanese Cedar) — 
A genus very similar to cypresses. It comprises many varie- 
ties of wonderful beauty. Botanists class all varieties under 
two species — obtusa and pisifera, but originating in Japan it 
is almost impossible to say for certain to which variety it 
belongs, and following most other nurserymen we list it 
under the names we received them. They are very desirable 
for planting in groups, as they are of medium size. In the 
far north they must be protected in the winter. 
RETINOSPORA FILIFERA — Upright leader, main bran- 
ches nearly horizontal, smaller branches of a graceful and 
weeping habit. One of the showiest. 
RETINOSPORA FILIFERA AUREA— A golden form of 
the preceding. 
RETINOSPORA OBTUSA — A free growing evergreen, of 
bright green foliage. 
IRISH RETINOSPORA PISIFERA — An evergreen of tree-like 
JUNIPER character when mature. The underside of foliage is silvery. 
RETINOSPORA PLUMOSA — An exceedingly handsome small evergreen 
from Japan, with feathery, light-green foliage. 
RETINOSPORA PLUMOSA AUREA — Like the preceding, a plant of great 
beauty; foliage soft, plume like, of a golden color; close and compact habit; 
should be in every amateur collection. 
RETINOSPORA SQUARROSSA — This valued sort has steel colored foliage 
and makes a tufty, compact growth. It grows to a large size, but by pruning 
can be kept down to almost any size, as, in fact, can all Retinosporas. 
SPRUCE. 
The name Abies for Fir and Picea for Spruce are used just oppositely by 
different authors, Linnaeus employing Abies for Spruce and Picea for Fir. 
We have followed Gray, Bailey and most of the later botanists, who use the 
name the same as the ancients. 
SPRUCE, COLORADO BLUE — A rare elegant tree with foliage of rich 
blue. One of the most distinct and striking of all the spruce family. This 
variety of Spruce was found in the Rocky Mountains, and has always given 
the best of satisfaction wherever planted. Considered as one of the most 
beautiful of all evergreens. A free grower and perfectly hardy. 
SPRUCE, NORWAY— A lofty, elegant tree, of erect, pyramidal habit, re- 
markably elegant and rich, and as it gets age, has fine, graceful, pendulous 
branches; it is exceedingly picturesque and beautiful. Very popular and
