JuNiPERUS. Juniper. [Coniferae.] Evergreens, many 

 of which are remarkably ornamental in habit, forming light, 

 spreading, more or less pendulous, bushes or low trees. The 

 Junipers prefer a light, loamy soil, but are not difficult of 

 culture in any that is moderately good, and not wet or heavy. 

 Increased with most facility by seeds ; but the rarer kinds 

 may be propagated by grafting, or by cuttings of the firm 

 young shoots, planted in sandy soil, on a shady border, and 

 covered by a hand-glass. Most of the species are hardy as 

 far north as Massachusetts, though often requiring protec- 

 tion from the winter's sun and cutting winds.
