Ornamental Trees, Flowering Shrubs, Etc. CHAMAECYPARIS pisifera, var. plumosa. Plume-Like Retinospora. A small tree, 15 or 20 feet high, but only a garden form of some species in Japan. It forms a very dense-growing large bush of conical habit, bears the shears well, and is certainly a great addition to our cultivated dwarf Conifers.

A beautiful heath-like plant, with sharp-pointed, sil- very foliage, and of a compact pyramidal growth, several feet in height. With us it is entirely hardy, and very different from all of the other Japanese Conifers. Frequent shearing improves the form and never injures the growth of the plant. TAXUS. Yew Unfortunately this attractive genus of Ever- greens is not so reliable in our climate as we might wish, but when duly sheltered and in proper soil, the different species frequently attain good size and become among the most delightful of large shrubs. For grouping as well as formal gardening, they are especially adapted, and as they bear free pruning their value is greatly enhanced. T. adpressa. Flat-Headed Ye-iv.
