Cedars, the one with white spots and stripes on the foli- 

 age (var. variegata alha); the other one with golden 

 marblings (var. variega'.a aurea), both of fair merit, if 

 not especially yaluable. The Light-green Red Cedar 

 (var. Schottli), and also Bedford's Red Cedar (var. Bed- 

 fordiana, syn. Barhadensis), are varieties with lighter 

 colored foliage than the species. 



One of the finest Jnnipers is the Chinese {J. Chi)iensis), 

 belonging to the Cypress-like section. The foliage is of 

 a handsome dark-green, jDresenting a peculiar, lively ap- 

 pearance, and the tree has an erect habit. The sexes are 

 in separate trees, there being a sterile and a fertile form, 

 this last has a lighter foliage, and is somewhat pendant, 

 C. Reeves' Chinese Juniper (var. Reevesiana) is of re- 

 markable hardiness, and has a fine habit, with somewhat 

 drooping and spreading branohes. Lee's Chinese Juniper 

 (var. Leeana) is a variety with long, bright-green leaves, 

 and vigorous and dense habit. 



The Japanese Juniper (J. Chinensis, var. Japonica, 

 J, Japonica of some authors), is a pleasing shrub of very 

 small size, and suitable for rockwork ; it has bright, 

 lively-green foliage ; it is not perfectly hardy at the 

 North, H. There are also several variegated- leaved 

 varieties of this. 



There are still several other desirable Junipers which 

 might be named here, such as the Prostrate Juniper (/. 

 prostrata), of trailing habit, with shining, dark-green 

 foliage; hardy, and well adapted for rockwork and edg- 

 ings. The Scaled Juniper (./. squamata), also of low- 

 spreading habit, with foliage of a delicate, glaucous hue. 

 Globular Juniper («/. hemisphmrica), very dwarf and 

 dense, with whitish foliage. Lovely Juniper {J. occi- 

 dcntalis, var. vennsta), a handsome, hardy variety of 

 erect-waving, torch-like form, and fine glaucous, 

 bluish foliage. Daurian Juniper (/. Daurica), a low 

 tree, with the leaves whitish on their upper surface.
