Strana 91 - And what is so rare as a day in June ? Then, if ever, come perfect days; Then Heaven tries the earth if it be in tune, And over it softly her warm ear lays : Whether we look, or whether we listen, We hear life murmur, or see it glisten ; Every clod feels a stir of might.

We have known R. filifera for some time as a rare tree, with tesselated, shaggy masses of green thread-like foliage, but Mr. Hogg's new variety offers the same strange mass of foliage, only in this case it is turned into gold — broad, solid, permanent gold. While I am pointing out the golden Retinosporas, which are veritable sunbeams amid other evergreens, let me call your attention to R. obtusa aurea, one of the best and most distinct of all variegated forms. It is free-growing,...
