The white cedar(C. sphceroidea), is a hardy tree, reaching aheight of some seventy feet. C. obtusa, a Jap-anese species, becomes much taller but is not ashardy as the Sawara cypress or retinispora(C. pisifera). Of the latter two speciesvariegated and dwarf forms exist, all highlyornamental and hardy. Finally the variousforms of juniper may be added to the list. To break the lines of evergreens, deciduoustrees are planted. SHRUBS FOR FOREGROUNDS As shrubbery in the foreground, the rhodo-dendrons claim first attention. Unfortu-nately, they do not do well in the warmer, in-land regions, being best adapted to moist 198 WATER-LILIES atmospheres. Under similar conditions thedeciduous azaleas will also grow. Other shrubs are: Cotone
