RETINOSPORA plumosa. Plume-like, or Green Retinospora. 
Of conical outline, with light, feathery green foliage. It stands shear- 
ing well and, if frequently pruned, becomes compact and dense. It is 
useful in groups, beds or for vases. 
Retinospora squarrosa 
R. squarrosa. A handsome, medium-sized lawn tree of dense growth. 
The silvery blue foliage is almost white when young, almost violet in 
winter, and arranged in curious spiral form. 
The Retinosporas are not absolutely hardy in Dayton. The above 
are the hardiest of their class, and, if planted in a somewhat protected 
location, will likely succeed.
