JUNIPERUS (JUNIPER) 



The Junipers are among the most desirable of conifers. Every 

 florist who does landscape gardening ought to know some of the 

 varieties such as J. virginiana (Red Cedar), J. Sabina and the Irish 

 Juniper, and, if at all possible he should carry a few plants of 

 each on his home grounds. 



The Irish Juniper (J. communis var. hibernica), while not hardy 

 everywhere, makes ideal stock to be used in connection with a 

 formal garden or to be planted on terraces, in sunken gardens or 

 anywhere a dense, evergreen column is wanted. While it grows 

 to a height of twenty feet and over, specimens three to five feet 

 are the ones mostly wanted. 



Juniperus Sabina (which we call here the Savin Juniper) is one 

 of the most graceful of all conifers and many are its uses, for there 

 is always demand for a low-growing, spreading evergreen. This 

 variety is absolutely hardy and the florist who can obtain from his 

 nurseryman a few small plants each Spring and plant them out to 

 grow and develop on his own grounds, is bound to reap good returns 

 for the money expended. The same holds good with the Red Cedar 

 (J. virginiana, called Savin Juniper by some). It happens every 

 Spring that some one wants a couple of upright evergreens to be 

 planted near the gate or the steps at the entrance of the residence. 

 Spruce or Arbor vitae are not to be considered, but Red Cedars will 

 fill the bill every time.
