.1 uiiijxruit fhiiifii.-iis. t'iiiNi:si: .Ir.Mi'Kit. Mature trees reach a height of sixty 

 feet and are more oi- less of ]>yramid form and have bluish-white foliage. 

 Plants on the college grounds are still small but in the five years trial have 

 proven i)erfectly hardy. This species is more commonly met with in the fol- 

 lowing variety. 



Juiiiperuti chhteiisis pfitzerhota, Pfitzek Ji'xipku. Has been used to some 

 extent in foundation jilantings on the college campus. Seems to be hard}' 

 and satisfactory. A sho\\ y, snudi, low-spreading, ornamental evergreen.

 umnar evergreen suitable for foundation plantings and fancy work generally. 

 Perfectly hardy. 



Juniperus sabina, Savix Juxiplr. Another hardy, rather dwarf evergreen 

 suitable for ornamental plantings, foundation plantings, etc. 



Juiiipcnts viriiinidiiii, Keucedar. This species is native and abundant in the 

 neighborhood, it is hardy and permanent. It can be used for certain fttrnial 

 effects if care is taken in the choice of specimens. However, in such locations 

 it usually seems necessary to rei)lace the .specimens after a few years. Speci- 

 mens may be sheared to ad\antage. This species should be planted in dry, 

 warm, sunny situations.

 w itii its beautifid waxy tlowers is very poj)idar. It has been used in small 

 ([uantities in plantings on the college groiuids. Moderate success is jiossibic 

 by transplanting small plants from the woods very early in spring, ^'ery 

 much better results are to be had from obtaining good stock (balled and bur- 

 lapped) from the nursery. 



Kerrid japoulcu, Kk.ukia. A tidy and delightful small shrub remarkable for 

 its bright green stems and foliage. The stems make an attractive winter ef- 

 fect. The plant is perfectly hardy here cxcejit that the tips of the shoots 

 usually show some winterkilling. These ought to be sni])ped off early each 

 spring, after which the plant takes care of itself admirably. A very desirable 

 shrub for general planting. 



A colored variety of the foregoing is the Siiakk Kekhia {k'crria J((/iiiiiir(i 

 (ir<iente()-varle(f«t(i) . This is merely a sickly looking form of the species and 

 not nearly so good. 



.\iiother garden form is the Doihik Keukia {k'erria ■japonicn flore-phuo). 

 The double yellow tlowers are rather attractive; otherwise this variety is in- 

 ferior to the type.

 with somewhat irregular and ])icturesque growth, pinnate leaves, and tine 

 trus.ses of vellow flowers. It is hardy, ])ermanent, and desirable.
