The finest evergreen for heavy shade and both beautiful and dependable 
wherever used. Its lace-like foliage is close-set and darkly lustrous, grow¬ 
ing in rather flat fronds which droop gracefully. Best known as a moderate 
grower, withstands severe pruning, and is consequently used much at 
corners, as foundation screens or in formally sheared high hedges. Mailing
