SCIADOPYTIS VERTICILLATA (Japanese Umbrella Pine) 
Most notable conifers that can be grown in the climate of Mass. It is 
of dense, pyramidal habit with ascending spreading branches. The leaves 
are borne in clusters around the stem, one tier above another, suggesting 
a parasol, hence its common name. They unfold bright green but soon 
change to black-green and remain so throughout the winter. The strap¬ 
shaped leaves, each from 3 to 4 inches long, are thick and leathery in 
texture with a white line on the under side. It likes a cool situation 
and good soil. On account of its great hardiness and distinct appearance 
nurserymen ought to raise it in quantity.
