Japanese Cypress • Chamaecyparis (Retinospora) 
These have become more widely planted than any other ever¬ 
green from Asia. The great variety of form and color—dark 
green, light green, golden yellow, and silvery blue—lend variety 
to otherwise monotonous landscape. Excellent for hedge-planting 
as they can be kept sheared to desired width and height.
