These highly ornamental trees, though many 
are of upright habit, do not grow to great 
heights, and are appropriate for small lawns 
as well as larger areas. They are generally 
hardy; grow vigorously in varied soils and are 
easily transplanted. Their clean, neat, com¬ 
pact appearance and the soft, fern-like foliage, 
in many cases so brightly colored, make them 
useful in grouping, bedding, bordering and 
formal gardening, for cemetery and lawn speci¬ 
mens, for hedges, screens, window-boxes, vases 
and house decorations.
