to dull gray-green on others. Several selected forms 
have been introduced.

mental trees in the world. Its foliage is brilliant sil¬

straighter. An improved variety. 
Pinus moil tana mughus MUGHO PINE A 
flat, spreading bush which never assumes the conical 
shape generally expected of evergreens, but spreads 
horizontally to form a mat of stiffly erect branchlets. 
It is a very useful shrub for foundation plantings and 
rock-gardens. 
Pinus nigra austriaca AUSTRIAN PINE Tree 
sometimes growing to a height of 100 feet with stout, 
spreading branches and regular whorls forming a 
symmetrical pyramid. Leaves are needlelike, long

species are 150 feet high with trunks 5 feet in di¬ 
ameter. It, has long dark green, lustrous needles and

green foliage, is very hardy and extremely 
ornamental when young.

fanlike branchlets in horizontal planes, 
twisting beautifully at the tips. 
Retinospora pisifera aurea GOLDEN 
SAWARA RETINOSPORA A handsome 
yellow type whose branches become pen¬ 
dulous in age, making a very ornamen¬ 
tal tree for combining with green and gray¬ 
ish evergreens of other types. 
Retinospora pisifera filifera THREAD 
RETINOSPORA An exceedingly grace¬ 
ful form of the Sawara with long, stringy, 
drooping branchlets of bright green and is 
certainly one of the most remarkable, pen- 
dulous-branched conifers. Its temper is 
capricious, but its great beauty makes it 
decidedly worth while, and it generally 
flourishes luxuriantly for many years. 
Retinospora pisifera filifera GOLD- 
ENPLUME RETINOSPORA The Gold 
en Thread Cypress is similar to filifera but 
a little less rapid in growth. 
Retinospora pisifera plumosa

almost erect branchlets of feathery appear¬ 
ance, bearing tiny needle-like bright green 
foliage. The habit is conical, forming specimens of 
dense texture when sheared into formal shape. 
Taxus cuspidata. JAPANESE YEW. A most val¬ 
uable addition to the evergreen family. Related to 
certain trees rather than other evergreens. Its flat 
leaved dark green foliage and bright red berries make 
this plant desired by all who know it. Japanese Yew 
endures shade better than all evergreens except Hem¬ 
lock. The natural habit is spreading but plants may be 
trimmed round or in pleasing forms. Fine as a specimen 
or in foundation plantings. Also preferred for formal 
hedges. 
Taxus cuspidata brevifolia. DWARF JAPANESE 
YEW. One of the very best of the small Evergreens. 
It has a dense bushy habit and its short dark green 
leaves are so closely set on the branches that the latter 
cannot be seen. It is worthy of the place of honor in the 
rock garden or Evergreen group. 
Taxus cuspidata capitata. UPRIGHT JAPA¬ 
NESE YEW. The tree form Yew having a central 
leader and an upright habit of growth. It is brilliant 
green through the summer, darkening gradually to 
almost black as fall and winter pass, in spring it re¬ 
sumes its summer color and in addition is clothed with 
bright green tassels of new growth. Good as a specimen 
or in pairs to accent doorways. Perfect as an evergreen 
hedge.
