beautiful evergreen of Asiatic origin. It is very hardy 
and useful for ornamental purposes. Its growth is very 
compact and of medium height. The Plume Cypress makes an 
ideal specimen for foundation plantings, also a lovely 
tree for the lawn or garden. The leaves are bluish green 
above, silvery on the under side. Distinct pyramidal in 
outline. They are worthy or being extensively planted.

PLANTING 
DIRECTIONS 
The chief care to be taken during 
planting operations is to prevent the 
drying out of the roots. The fine root- 
lets of the young trees are extremely 
delicate and may be seriously injured 
even by a few minutes exposure to 
the sun or drying winds. It is best 
to keep the trees in an ordinary pail 
with enough muddy water to cover 
the roots. Trees should not be kept 
lying on the ground while a hole is 
being dug. 
The hole should be made large 
enough to receive ‘the roots without 
cramping them. The roots are inserta« 
in the hole, spread out and loose soil 
firmly tamped with the hands. The 
tree should be set upright and planted 
to the same depth at which it grew 
in the nursery. This depth is indicated 
by a ring of light bark around the 
tree at ground level. 
A test of proper planting is to give 
each tree a slight tug after setting. 
If the tree pulls up, it is not properly 
set. Failure to set the tree firmly 
and at the right depth usually results 
in death or stunting. After the tree 
is planted it should be watered and 
judicious watering should be done at 
least once each weak, especially during 
the first year. Keep the ground 
around the tree cultivated. It keeps 
the weeds down and preserves the 
moisture.
