Rhododendron maximum "5 " punctatum 5i oo " Vaseyi i oo (A full list of named hybrids is given further on.) Maximum is the Northern species, vnth. purplish pink flowers. Punctatum comes from the moun- tains of North Carolina. It has small, rosy red flowers, and foliage of lesser size than the foregoing. V aseyi is a new one, differing from an Azalea only in botanical features. It is really deciduous, but we have kept it here to be under the head of Rhododendrons. RETINISPORA. Japan Cypress.

While all are good, we look on Filifera, Ob- tusa, Pisifera, Plumosa, AureaandSquar- rosa as particularly desirable. The golden tint of the Aurea and the silvery green of the Squarrosa place them in the front rank. In winter the Glauca has a remarkable purplish color. As the best color is on the young growth, frequent shearing is des'rable ; this also keeps them compact and in good shape. SCIADOPITYS. Umbrella Pine. SciadopityS Verticillata. a remarkably beauti- ful, very hardy Japanese evergreen, with dark shining green foliage, arranged in whorls of um- brella like tufts. Grows slowly while young. It is extremely rare, and should be in every collec- tion. (See cut] S3 00 TAXUS. Yew. Taxus adpressa, Japanese SI 00 " baccata, Ei^^ii=ii " •••• &qu
