Retinosporas—Graceful, Soft-Foliaged Evergreens 
of Remarkable Beauty, Yet Inexpensive 
Well worth any special effort to possess are Retinosporas. Their graceful habit of 
growth and soft, tine foliage make them favorites among Evergreens. Specimens attain 
unusual beauty and become sources of life-long pride and pleasure. They cannot be too 
highly recommended for foundation and lawn planting. Prefer a moist soil. 
The Plume Retinospora with its distinct pyramidal 
outline, and beautiful, soft foliage, which is character¬ 
istic of all Retinosporas, is very ornamental.
