Very slow growth while j'oung, eventually large size; dark-green, shining foliage arranged in whorls of umbrella-like tutts on horizontal branches. Perhaps the most remarkable and beautiful conifer brought from Japan. $ each. RETINOSPORA (JAPAN CY- PRESS). These are all handsome, rather dwarf, and neat-growing evergreens, the several varieties assuming very distinct colors and habit. They are very useful for decoration in winter and for window boxes or pots. As miniature trees they are unequaled. The exquisite shad- ings of yellow, white, and green, lasting all the year round, in a group of this sort are a constant source of pleasure ; and these lovely colors are particularly conspicuous and agreeable in the winter. Shear frequently, as the best color is on the young growth. Retinospora ericoides (Heath-like J. C). Regular, conical, compact pyramidal bush, desirable for contrast from its violet red color in winter. 50 cents each. R. filicoides (Pern-like J. C). Bright green, pointed foliage, very dense and exquisitely fern-like. $ each. R. filifera (Thread-branched J. C). A beautiful tree of very elegant appearance, with bright green foliage. It is pyramidal in outline and particularly graceful, on account of the ends of its shoots drooping in long filaments, some of which are tessel- lated. $ each. R. lycopodivides (Club Moss J. C). Foliage resembling Lycopodium. One of the finest Retiiiosporas. Very rare. Extra specimens, $ each. R. obtusa (Obtuse-leaved J. C
