It is unquestionably one of themost desirable and beautiful of hardy conifers ;the remarkable change in colour from the brightgreen of the warm season to the bronzy crimsonof the winter and early spring months, combinedwith the elegant outline and perfect hardihood,places this variety in the front rank of useful andornamental trees of medium proportions. Itstands exposure better than the species, and, like. CRVPTOMKRIA JAPOMCA. HARDY CONIFEROUS TREES 47 that tree, will grow on cold, stiff soils where onlya limited number of conifers could subsist. In ayoung state it is apt to form several leading shoots,and sometimes ungainly side branches, which shouldbe removed by timely and well-directed cones are five-eighths of an inch long ; andthe leaves, in which the primordial shape is re-tained for an indefinite period, rather longer thanthe cones, flatfish, velvety in texture, and abund-antly produced.
