 coasts of North America. 



JUNIPERUS RECURVA. Hamilton. 



(Recurved or Nepal Juniper.) 

 STN. Juniperus incurva. Herbert Hamilton. 

 From the alps of Nepal and Cashmere. It is a 

 graceful shrub, of a pendulous or recurved habit. 

 Foliage dark green, with a dull greyish bloom. It 

 requires a richer and lighter soil than most of its 

 congeners to succeed well. In poor soils it has a 

 shabby brown appearance, but when in a luxuriant 

 condition is very handsome. 



JUNIPERUS RELIGIOSA. Boyle. 

 (Sacred Juniper.) 



A Himalayan species, with beautiful glaucous foli- 

 age, somewhat resembling J. excelsa. It has stiff 

 erect-growing branches, with the branchlets somewhat 

 recurved at the points. Very handsome, but is often 

 damaged by spring frosts.
