 suecica Mill. Diet. No. 2. ; J. vulgaris arbor Bauh. ; the Swedish, 

 or Tree, Juniper, {fig. 2008.) Leaves spreading and acute, 

 1 in. in length ; branches erect, with oblong fruit. This kind was 

 supposed by Miller to be a species 

 because he found it always come 

 true from seed. It generally attains 

 the height of 10 or 12 feet, and 

 sometimes of 16 or 18 feet ; in the 

 Forest of Fontainebleau, it has at- 

 tained the height of 50 ft., and 

 tables, cabinets, and other pieces 

 of furniture have been made from 

 its timber. The branches are more 

 erect than those of the common 

 juniper ; the leaves are narrower, 

 they end in more acute points, and 

 are placed farther asunder on the 

 branches ; the berries are also 

 larger and longer. It is a native 

 of France, Sweden, Denmark, and 

 Norway, and is in common culti- 

 vation in British nurseries,
