Conifers 
CEDRUS libani sargentii SARGENT CEDAR OF LEBANON (5). This might better 
have been named Weeping Cedar of Lebanon as it is identical with the famous biblical 
tree in foliage and other respects except habit. The branches are most decidedly pen- 
dulous. Unlike C. atlantica glauca pendula this branches freely even when small, but 
like it, ought to be staked for the first few years. Should make a noble specimen plant. 
Balled 4 to 4% ft., $8.00. 
CHAMAECYPARIS pisifera aurea compacta nana (3). We cannot say whether this is 
the plant mentioned in S.P.N. as Yellowdwarf Sawara Falsecypress, but have an idea 
it is. In any event it is a dwarf-plant fancier’s delight as it can be grown for years in a 
4-inch pot. Habit is very compact and entire plant is golden with rather acute foliage. 
Pot grown, 2 to 3 in., $1.50. 
*JUNIPERUS virginiana lebretoni, LEBRETON EASTERN REDCEDAR (3). Has the 
distinction of being one of the most intensely glaucous conifers known. Growth is erect 
and not widely spreading, i.e. about like most of the Cypresses. As indicated by rating 
it is extremely hardy. Pot grown, 6 to 8 in., $1.25. 
*LIBOCEDRUS chilensis, CHILEAN INCENSECEDAR (6). On the order of our native 
L. decurrens but with‘softer, somewhat sage green foliage. Makes a regular symmetri- 
cal tree of conical outline. Curiously enough it thrives better with us than the native, 
probably because it apparently does not object so strongly to alkalinity. Balled, 2 to 
22 tt:, $0.00; 144 to 2 ft.,.$4.00. 
*TAXUS baccata repandens, SPREADING ENGLISH YEW (6). An interesting variant 
of English Yew of prostrate and widely spreading growth. Excellent where a conifer of 
that habit is appropriate. Pot grown, 6 to 8 in., $1.25. 
TAXUS bacata var., SILVER GREEN YEW (6). Several years ago we raised a lot of 
seedlings of English Yew which were ultimately planted out in the nursery. One of 
these was so strikingly different that we felt it deserved to be propagated by cuttings. 
It has a nice compact, bushy form and rich deep green foliage with a slight silvery cast. 
Balled, 2 to 3 ft., $5.00; 1% to 2 ft., $3.50. 
Broad Leaved Evergreens 
ARDISIA japonica, JAPANESE ARDISIA (5-6). To repeat our comment in G.A. ’43, 
here is a delightful slow growing, acid and shade loving shrub which probably won’t 
get over sixteen or eighteen inches tall and about as wide. Its dark green foliage is 
very handsome. When only four or five inches tall it commences to bear pale pink 
flowers followed by showy red berries as attractive as those of Van Tol Holly. Inci- 
dentally, this is not the plant described in “Bailey” under this name but agrees with 
page 756 of 2nd edition of Rehder’s Handbook. We have also found that it develops 
stolons (creeping roots from which shoots arise) so that its width can become much 
greater than we expected. For this reason we cannot see why it should not make a 
delightful evergreen ground cover where conditions are suitable. Pot grown, 6 to 8 in., 
$1.00. 
*AUCUBA japonica Croton, CROTONLEAF AUCUBA (7). Far surpasses the common 
Goldust Aucuba in the brilliancy and intensity of its golden variegation which really 
shines out! We have had it for several years but cuttings are few and it has taken a 
long time to work up an adequate stock. Growth and habit are about the same as other 
Aucubas. Balled, 2% to 3 ft., $6.00; pot grown, 8 to 10 in., $1.50. 
*AUCUBA japonica fructu-albo (7). Name of course means white-fruited, however the 
berries are not truly white but a pale pinkish buff or chamois skin. It is noticeably 
more compact than other aucubas and the comparatively small dark green rounded 
leaves are profusely and brightly silver variegated. Pot grown, 6 to 8 in., $1.50.
