RETINOSPORA, Pisifera squarrosa 
veitchi 
RETINOSPORA 
Botanists know these by the generic 
name Chamecyparis. Those commonly 
found in southern gardens are mostly 
varieties of C. pisifera. Their forms and 
shades are many and varied. A number of 
lovely varieties are adapted to southern 
conditions. 
Obtusa ericoides. This is a beautiful 
conifer, dense and compact in growth. 
An upright grower that may be 
pruned in very narrow, columnar 
shape. The foliage is a dark bluish 
green. Not particular as to soil. 
Ericoides, Barton Strain. Brought 
to our attention by the late J O. 
Barton, who was our packing-house 
foreman for many years. Of slower 
and more compact growth than 
Ericoides, and softer texture.

ORNAMENTAL AND LAWN GRASSES 
BERMUDA GRASS (Cynodon dactylon). 
A favorite for lawn purposes in the 
Lower South. Spreads rapidly. 
CARPET GRASS (A xonopus compressus). 
A valuable lawn grass widely used in 
locations having plenty of moisture. It 
resembles St. Augustine Grass and re- 
tains its color well in cool weather. 
Carpet Grass does very well for large 
estates if the soil is moist to wet and if 
larger mowing equipment is available. 
Responds to fertilization, and mowing 
at 2 to 3 inches is recommended. Each

CENTIPEDE GRASS (Eremochloa 
ophiuroides). Centipede is one of the 
best lawn and pasture grasses for the 
South. Spreads by surface runners and 
is excellent for sunny lawns, both dry 
and moist soils. Centipede does not 
thrive under alkaline or excessive lime 
conditions and should not be fertilized 
at excessive rates. High fertilization 
causes a heavy mat of grass with roots 
out of the soil and makes it susceptible 
to drought and disease. Close mowing 
at less than 2 inches is recommended. 
Will set about 1200 square feet per 
bushel when set 1 foot apart each way.

ST. AUGUSTINE BITTER BLUE 
STEM GRASS (Stenotaphrum). Bitter 
Blue St. Augustine is one of our better 
lawn grasses, if not the best, for certain 
locations. Shaded lawns, coastal lawns 
or those subject to salt sprays, moist to 
wet soils, and those too alkaline for 
Centipede will support good Bitter 
Blue. Responds best to mowing at 
about 2 inches. Too close cutting of 
this grass is harmful. A much-improved 
type, stronger growing, tougher, and 
extremely resistant to chinch-bugs. 
Throughout the year it seems to keep 
its color better than most southern 
grasses, will stand more dry weather, 
and is equally at home in sun or shade. 
One bushel will plant about 900 square 
feet of lawn if the grass is set a foot 
apart each way, or 450 square feet if 
spaced 1 foot by 6 inches. Each
