A. excelsa glauca. Identical with the type ex¬ 
cept in color of foliage, which has a beautiful 
bluish or glaucous hue. Fine for pot culture as 
well as for planting out. 
A. excelsa robusta com pacta. Variety of more 
compact growth. Branches are broader and longer, 
with better foliage than in the type. The color is 
a deep, rich green. The best of the Araucarias for 
indoor culture. 
A. imbrlcata. MONKEY PUZZLE. 100 ft. Well- 
known tree of very unusual appearance. Trunk 
straight; coarse, blunt branches in regular whorls. 
Leaves short, broad, triangular; very sharp, over¬ 
lapping like shingles, closely surrounding trunk 
and branches. Entirely unlike any other tree. 
CEDRUS: Cedar 
Although many conifers of various kinds have 
the name “Cedar” applied to them, the true Cedars 
are limited to three species, all natives of the Old 
World. There are no true Cedars native to 
North or South America. 
They are all magnificent, long-lived trees of 
noble appearance and readily distinguished by 
their needle-like leaves produced in bunches ex¬ 
cept on the young growing shoots, where they 
are scattered. Cones are borne erect and are 
very beautiful. 
C. atlantica. MT. ATLAS CEDAR. North 
Africa. 120 ft. Large, pyramidal, open tree. 
Leaves very slightly glaucous. The hardiest species. 
C. atlantica aurea. GOLDEN MT. ATLAS 
CEDAR. Variety differing from type in the strong 
golden hue of foliage. 
C. atlantica glauca. BLUE MT. ATLAS CEDAR. 
100 ft. A variety of C. atlantica with intensely 
glaucous or silvery leaves. When young, the 
growth is irregular and straggling, but later be¬ 
comes symmetrical and compact. One of the most 
strikingly beautiful specimen trees in our collec¬ 
tion. 
C. deodara. DEODAR; INDIAN CEDAR. Hima¬ 
laya Mts. 120 ft. This magnificent tree is a pic¬ 
ture of grace and beauty. Pyramidal in general 
outline; the lower limbs lie on the ground, all the 
upper ones droop gracefully. The foliage of young 
trees is decidedly glaucous, but not so much so 
when older. Thrives to perfection in California. 
C. deodara verticillata glauca. 75 ft. A variety 
with light bluish leaves and stiffer growth. Re¬ 
tains its glaucous hue even when older. 
C. libani. CEDAR OF LEBANON. Asia Minor. 
100 ft. Vigorous growth; wide-spreading, horizon¬ 
tal branches; dark green foliage; massive and pic¬ 
turesque. 'Closely resembles C. atlantica, but 
grows slower and more compact. 
CEPHALOTAXUS 
C. pedunculata fastigiata. JAPANESE YEW. 
8 ft. Entirely distinct from other Yews. Growth 
very compact, upright and columnar like Irish Yew. 
Leaves larger, nearly two inches long, acute, deep 
glossy green above and marked with two broad, 
silvery lines beneath. Very fine. (Note—The 
common name, “Japanese Yew,” is also applied to 
Taxus japonica, which is entirely distinct.) 
CHAMAECYPARIS 
A genus closely related to Cupressus (Cy¬ 
press). As a class they may be called “Flat- 
branched Cypresses,” as the branchlets are always 
arranged so as to lie in a plane. Cones are' 
smaller than those of Cypress. Habit varies from* 
almost dwarfs to very large trees. (See sub-- 
heading Retinispora below.) 
C. lawsoniana. LAWSON CYPRESS; PORT 
ORFORI) CEDAR. Oregon and California. 200 ft. 
A beautiful tree, native of this State; tall and 
slender except at base. Has elegant droopingr 
branches and very slender, feathery branchlets^ 
Foliage usually more or less glaucous. Tip of tree 
always droops. 
C. lawsoniana alumi. 100 ft. A variety of Law- 
son Cypress, of dense growth and columnar habit. 
Foliage very glaucous, with decidedly bluish metal¬ 
lic hue. 
C. lawsoniana erecta viridis. A remarkably 
handsome variety, differing in its color and com¬ 
pact growth. The branchlets all stand vertically 
and close together. The foliage is a clear, rich 
green with no glaucous markings. Develops very 
symmetrically into a beautiful specimen for indi¬ 
vidual planting.
