the last; its leaves are larger, glossier, more crowded; its cones are
larger, and have wider and more spreading scales; the tree is smaller,
rarely growing 40 ft. high. Wild, but scarce, in the higher Alleghanies,
south; beginning to be cultivated north, and probably hardy throughout.

linear, much curved, the base extending a short distance upward along
the branch, then spreading squarely from it, crowded, compressed, deep
green above, glaucous below; base of the leaf much less disk-like than
in most of the Firs; branches horizontal, spreading, numerous. Cones 6
to 7 in. long and nearly 2 in. in diameter, cylindric, sessile, with
large, entire, incurved scales; bracts large, exserted, reflexed,
spatulate, with terminal, awl-shaped points. A very large, beautiful
tree, from the Pacific coast, where it grows 200 ft. high. Hardy in

portion of our region, and frequent in cultivation, although not quite
so fine a tree as Larix Europaea.
[Illustration: L. Europaea.]
2. =Larix Europaea=, DC. (EUROPEAN LARCH.) Leaves 1 in. long, linear,
obtuse, flat, soft, numerous, and bright green in color. Cones sometimes
more than 1 in. long, with oval, erect, very persistent scales. A
beautiful tree with horizontal branches and drooping branchlets;
abundant in cultivation.

flattish, divergent scales which are very deciduous. A beautiful large
tree, over 100 ft. high, from China, which proves hardy as far north as
central New York. It is often placed in a new genus (Pseudolarix)
because of the deciduous scales to the cones.
GENUS =98. CEDRUS.= (THE LEBANON CEDARS.)
Leaves linear, simple, evergreen, in large, alternate clusters. Cones
large, erect, solitary, with closely appressed scales; seeds adhering to
the base of their lacerated, membranous wings. Large, spreading-branched

variety of Cedrus Libani. They are about alike in hardiness and in
general form. Cedrus Atlantica has more slender branches, denser and
more silvery foliage. From Africa.
[Illustration: C. Deodara.]
3. =Cedrus Deodara=, Lindl. (DEODAR OR INDIAN CEDAR.) Leaves 1 to 2 in.
in length, 3- or usually 4-sided, rigid, acute, very numerous (about 20
in a fascicle), bright green, covered with a glaucous bloom. Cones 4 to
5 in. long, ovate, obtuse, very resinous, rich purple when young, and
brown when old; the scales separating from the axis at maturity. Seeds
wedge-shaped, with large, bright brown wings. A beautiful pyramidal
tree, with graceful drooping branches and light silvery foliage. Not
hardy north of Philadelphia; from India.
GENUS =98a. ARAUCARIA.=
[Illustration: A. imbricata.]
=Araucaria imbricata=, Pavon. (CHILE PINE.) Leaves 1 to 2 in. long,
ovate-lanceolate, sessile, rigid, acute, very persistent, closely
overlapping, completely covering the thick stems, in whorls of 6 to 8,
deep glossy green; branches horizontal, in whorls of 6 to 8, with
ascending tips, covered with resinous, corky bark. Flowers dioecious;
cones (on only a portion of the trees) large, roundish, about 7 in. in
diameter, erect, solitary; seeds wedge-shaped, 1 to 2 in. long. A large,
peculiar, beautiful, conical tree, with much the appearance of a cactus;
not fitted to our climate, although a few specimens may be found growing
quite well near the coast south of Philadelphia. From the mountains of
Chile.
GENUS =99. CUNNINGHAMIA.=
A genus of but one species. The cone-scales are very small, but the
bracts are large, thick, and serrate.
[Illustration: C. Sinensis.]
=Cunninghamia Sinensis=, R. Br. (CUNNINGHAMIA.) Leaves 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 in.
long, flat, rigid, numerous, alternate, somewhat serrulate; the leaf
gradually increases in width from the acute tip to the base, which is
decurrent on the stem and about 1/8 in. wide. Cones 1 to 1 1/2 in. long,
nearly globular, erect, very persistent, mostly clustered, sessile; the
scale is a mere transverse ridge, but the bract is large and prominent,
like a triangular-hastate, dilated leaf. A very handsome tree, from
China, which does not succeed very well in this region except in
protected situations.
GENUS =100. SCIADOPITYS.=
Cones elliptical or cylindrical, large, obtuse. Leaves evergreen,
somewhat flattened, arranged in distant whorls around the stems, and
spreading in all directions.

=Sciadopitys verticillata=, S. and Z. (UMBRELLA-PINE.) Leaves 2 to 4 in.
long, 1/6 in. wide, linear, obtuse, smooth, persistent, sessile, entire,
in whorls of 30 to 40 at the nodes and extremity of the branches. Cones
3 by 1 1/2 in. Scales wedge-shaped, corrugated, overlapping, coriaceous,
persistent; bracts adherent, broad, and smooth. A beautiful, tall,
conical, slow-growing tree, with the branches whorled. Recently
introduced; hardy in the New England States.
GENUS =101. TAXODIUM.=
Leaves deciduous, spreading, in 2 ranks. Flowers monoecious on the
same branch, the staminate ones in spikes, and the pistillate ones in
pairs below. Cones globular; the scales peltate, angular, thick, firmly
closed till ripe, with 2 angular seeds under each.
[Illustration: T. distichum.]
=Taxodium distichum=, Richard. (SOUTHERN OR BALD CYPRESS.) Leaves
deciduous, flat, linear, 1/2 to 3/4 in. long, in 2 rows on the slender
branchlets, forming feather-like spray of a light green color. This
whole spray usually falls off in the autumn as though a single leaf.
Cones round, closed, hard, 1 in. in diameter. A fine, tall (100 to 125
ft. high), slender, spire-shaped tree with a large, spreading, rigid
trunk, 6 to 9 ft. thick, and peculiar conical excrescences (called
knees) growing up from the roots. Wild from Maryland south, and
cultivated and hardy in the Middle and many of the Northern States.
[Illustration: Var. pendulum.]
Var. _pendulum_, with horizontal branches and drooping branchlets, has
the leaves but slightly spreading from the stems, especially when young.
Very beautiful; hardy as far north as Massachusetts.
GENUS =102. SEQUOIA.=
Flowers monoecious, terminal, solitary, catkins nearly globular. Seeds
winged, 3 to 5 under each scale.
[Illustration: S. gigantea.]
1. =Sequoia gigantea=, Torr. (BIG OR GREAT TREE OF CALIFORNIA.) Leaves
on the young shoots spreading, needle-shaped, sharp-pointed, scattered
spirally around the branchlets; finally scale-shaped, overlapping,
mostly appressed, with generally an acute apex, light green in color.
Cones oval, 2 to 3 in. long, of about 25 scales. The largest tree known,
300 ft. high, with a trunk nearly 30 ft. through, found in California
and occasionally planted east, though with no great success, as it is
almost certain to die after a few years.
[Illustration: S. sempervirens.]
2. =Sequoia sempervirens=, Endl. (REDWOOD.) Leaves from 1/2 to 1 in. long,
linear, smooth, 2-ranked, flat, acute, dark shining green, glaucous
beneath; branches numerous, horizontal, spreading. Cones 1 in. long,
roundish, solitary, terminal; scales numerous, thick, rough, furnished
with an obtuse point. A magnificent tree from California, where it grows
200 to 300 ft. high. In the East it can be kept alive but a few years
even at Washington.
GENUS =103. THUYA.= (ARBOR-VITAE.)
Small, evergreen trees with flat, 2-ranked, fan-like spray and closely
overlapping, small, appressed leaves of two shapes on different
branchlets, one awl-shaped and acute, the other scale-like, usually
blunt and close to the branch. Fertile catkins of few, overlapping
scales fixed by the base; at maturity, dry and spreading. There are
scores of named varieties of Arbor-vitae sold by the nurserymen under 3
different generic names, Thuya, Biota, and Thuyopsis. There are but
slight differences in these groups, and they will in this work be placed
together under Thuya. Some that in popular language might well be called
Arbor-vitae (the Retinosporas) will, because of the character of the
fruit, be included in the next genus.
* Scales of the cones pointless, thin, straight. (Thuya) 1, 2.
* Scales reflexed and wedge-shaped. (Thuyopsis) 3.
* Scales thick, with horn-like tips. (Biota) 4.
[Illustration: T. occidentalis.]
1. =Thuya occidentalis=, L. (AMERICAN ARBOR-VITAE. WHITE CEDAR.) Leaves
in 4 rows on the 2-edged branchlets, having a strong aromatic odor when
bruised. Cones oblong, 1/3 in. long, with few (6 to 10) pointless
scales. A small tree, 20 to 50 ft. high, or in cultivation 1 to 50 ft.
high, with pale, shreddy bark, and light, soft, but very durable wood.
Wild north, and extensively cultivated throughout under more than a
score of named varieties. Their names--_alba_, _aurea_, _glauca_,
_conica_, _globosa_, _pyramidalis_, _pendula_, etc.--will give some idea
of the variations in color, form, etc.
[Illustration: T. gigantea.]
2. =Thuya gigantea=, Nutt. (GIANT ARBOR-VITAE.) Leaves scale-shaped,
somewhat 4-sided, closely overlapping, sharp-pointed, slightly
tuberculate on the back; cones more or less clustered and nearly 1/2 in.
long. A very large and graceful tree, 200 ft. high, with white, soft
wood; from the Pacific coast; introduced but not very successfully grown
in the Atlantic States.
[Illustration: T. dolabrata.]
3. =Thuya dolabrata=, L. (HATCHET-LEAVED ARBOR-VITAE.) Leaves large,
sometimes 1/4 in. long, very blunt, in 4 rows on the flattened spray.
Cones quite small, ovate, sessile, with jagged edges; scales reflexed
and wedge-form. A small conical tree with horizontal branches and
drooping branchlets; which, because of its large leaves (for an
Arbor-vitae) and flexible branchlets, is quite unique and interesting. In
shaded and moist places it has done quite well as far north as New York.
[Illustration: T. orientalis.]
4. =Thuya orientalis=, L. (EASTERN OR CHINESE ARBOR-VITAE.) Leaves small,
in 4 opposite rows, appressed, acute, on the numerous 2-edged
branchlets. Cones large, roundish, with thick leathery scales having
recurving, horn-like tips. Of this species there are as many varieties
sold as of number one, and nearly the same varietal names are used; but
it is not so good a species for general cultivation in this country.
Var. _flagelliformis_, Jacq. (Weeping Arbor-vitae), has very slender,
elongated, weeping branches, curving gracefully to the ground. It is a
beautiful variety, often cultivated (a single stem is shown in the
figure).
GENUS =104. CHAMAECYPARIS.= (THE CYPRESSES.)
Strong-scented, evergreen trees with very small, scale-like or somewhat
awl-shaped, closely appressed (except in some cultivated varieties),
overlapping leaves and 2-ranked branchlets, almost as in Thuya. Cones
globular, with peltate, valvate scales, firmly closed till ripe; the
scales thick and pointed at the center.
* Native trees; leaves light glaucous-green. 1.
* Cultivated trees from Western America; leaves dark green.
(=A.=)
=A.= No tubercle on the backs of the leaves. 2.
=A.= Usually a tubercle on the back 3.
* Cultivated small trees and shrubs from Japan (called Retinospora) 4.
[Illustration: C. sphaeroidea.]
1. =Chamaecyparis sphaeroidea=, Spach. (WHITE CEDAR.) Leaves very small,
triangular, awl-shaped, regularly and closely appressed in 4 rows, of a
light glaucous-green color, often with a small gland on the back. Cones
very small, 1/3 in. in diameter, of about 6 scales, clustered. Tree 30
to 90 ft. high, wild in low grounds throughout; abundant in Middle
States. With reddish-white wood and slender, spreading and drooping
sprays; bark fibrous, shreddy; sometimes cultivated.
[Illustration: C. Nutkaensis.]
2. =Chamaecyparis Nutkaensis=, Lambert. (NOOTKA SOUND CYPRESS.) Leaves
only 1/8 in. long, sharp-pointed, and closely appressed, of a very
dark, rich green color; very slightly glaucous, without tubercles on the
back. Cones small, globular, solitary, with a fine, whitish bloom;
scales 4, rough and terminating in a sharp straight point. Tree 100 ft.
high in Alaska, and would make a fine cultivated tree for this region if
it could stand our hot, dry summers.
[Illustration: C. Lawsoniana.]
3. =Chamaecyparis Lawsoniana=, Park. (LAWSON'S CYPRESS.) Leaves small,
deep green, with a whitish margin when young, forming with the twigs
feathery-like, flat spray of a bluish-green color; leaves usually with a
gland on the back. Cones scarcely 1/4 in. in diameter, of 8 to 10 scales.
A magnificent tree in California, and where it is hardy (in rather moist
soil, New York and south) it forms one of our best cultivated
evergreens. The leading shoot when young is pendulous.
[Illustration: R. obtusa.]
4. =Chamaecyparis= (=Retinospora=) =obtusa=, Endl. (JAPANESE ARBOR-VITAE.)
Leaves scale-formed, obtuse, closely appressed and very persistent.
Cones of 8 or 10 hard, light brown, wedge-shaped scales. Beautiful small
trees or generally shrubs (in this country), of a score of named
varieties of many colors and forms of plant and foliage.
There are probably a number of species of Japanese and Chinese
Chamaecyparis (Retinospora), but till their size, hardiness, and origin
have been more fully determined, it would be impossible to make an
entirely satisfactory list for such a work as this. Figures are given of
the common, so-called, species cultivated in this country; under each of
these, several varieties are sold by the nurserymen. The three twigs of
Retinospora squarrosa were all taken from a single branch; this shows
how impossible it is to determine the varieties or species; the twig at
the left represents the true _squarrosa_; the others, the partial return
to the original. Most of the forms shown in the figures have purple,
golden, silvery, and other colored varieties.

GENUS =105. CRYPTOMERIA.=
A genus of evergreens containing only the following species:
[Illustration: C. Japonica.]
=Cryptomeria Japonica=, Don. (JAPAN CEDAR.) Leaves about 1/2 in. long, not
flattened, but about equally 4-sided, curved and tapering quite
gradually from the tip to the large, sessile base; branches spreading,
mostly horizontal, with numerous branchlets. Cones 1/2 to 3/4 in. in
diameter, globular, terminal, sessile, very persistent, with numerous,
loose, not overlapping scales. A beautiful tree from Japan, 50 to 100
ft. high. Not very successfully grown in our climate. North of
Washington, D. C., it needs a sheltered position, and should have a
deep, but not very rich soil.
GENUS =106. JUNIPERUS.=
Leaves evergreen, awl-shaped or scale-like, rigid, often of two shapes
on the same plant. Spray not 2-ranked. Flowers usually dioecious.
Fertile catkins rounded, of 3 to 6 fleshy, coalescent scales, forming in
fruit a bluish-black berry with a whitish bloom, but found on only a
portion of the plants.
* Leaves rather long, 1/2 in., in whorls of threes 1.
* Leaves smaller; on the old branches mostly opposite 2.
[Illustration: J. communis.]
1. =Juniperus communis=, L. (COMMON JUNIPER.) Leaves rather long, 1/2 in.,
linear, awl-shaped, in whorls of threes, prickly-pointed, upper surface
glaucous-white, under surface bright green. Fruit globular, 1/4 in. or
more in diameter, dark purple when ripe, covered with light-colored
bloom. A shrub or small tree with spreading or pendulous branches;
common in dry, sterile soils. There are a great many varieties of this
species in cultivation, but few of them grow tall enough to be
considered trees.
Var. _Hibernica_ (Irish Juniper) grows erect like a column. Var.
_Alpina_ is a low creeping plant. Var. _hemispherica_ is almost like a
half-sphere lying on the ground.
[Illustration: J. Virginiana.]
2. =Juniperus Virginiana=, L. (RED CEDAR.) Leaves very small and
numerous, scale-like on the older branches, but awl-shaped and somewhat
spreading on the young shoots; dark green. Fruit small, 1/5 in.,
abundant on the pistillate plants, dark purple and covered with fine,
glaucous bloom. Trees from 20 to 80 ft. high (sometimes only shrubs),
with mostly horizontal branches, thin, scaling bark, dense habit of
growth, and dark foliage. Wood light, fine-grained, durable; the
heart-wood of a handsome dark red color. Wild throughout; several
varieties are found in cultivation. Many other species from China,
Japan, California, etc., are occasionally cultivated, but few are large
enough to be called trees, and those that are large enough are not of
sufficient importance to need specific notice.
GENUS =107. TAXUS.=
Leaves evergreen, flat, linear, mucronate, rigid, scattered, appearing
more or less 2-ranked. Fertile flowers and the fruit solitary; the
fruit, a nut-like seed in a cup-shaped, fleshy portion formed from a
disk; red.
[Illustration: T. baccata.]
=Taxus baccata=, L. (COMMON EUROPEAN YEW.) Leaves evergreen, 2-ranked,
crowded, linear, flat, curved, acute. Fruit a nut-like seed within a cup
1/3 in. in diameter; red when ripe in the autumn. As this species is
somewhat dioecious, a portion of the plants will be without fruit. A
widely spreading shrub rather than a tree, extensively cultivated under
nearly a score of named varieties. We have a closely related wild
species, =Taxus Canadensis= (THE GROUND-HEMLOCK), which is merely a low
straggling bush.
GENUS =1O7a. TORREYA.=
[Illustration: T. taxifolia.]
The Torreyas are much like the Yews, but their leaves have two
longitudinal lines, and a remarkably disagreeable odor when burned or
