Juniperui nana and Pinut strobui 



Cupressus, continued 



Cupressus sempervirens (C. fastig-j.aia) . PYRAM- 

 IDAL OR ROMAN CYPRESS. A tree common to the 

 Mediterranean region and often a conspicuous feature 

 of the landscape. Thrives in the South Atlantic and 

 Pacific States, where it is often planted to enhance 

 architectural effects. Of pyramidal or conical out- 

 line, the appressed branches clothed with verdant 

 foliage. 



C. torulosa (C. majestica) . MAJESTIC CYPRESS. A 

 tall tree of pyramidal outline, with slender, drooping 

 branches, densely clothed with grayish green foliage. 

 A handsome, vigorous-growing species from the Hima- 

 layas. 



Fitzroya The Fitzroyas 



Evergreen trees and shrubs, of which one species, 

 described below, possesses sufficient hardiness to 

 withstand the winters in the South. Interesting in 

 a collection, but its value in cultivation in the 

 United States has not been fully proven. Requires 

 a well-drained soil. 



Fitzroya patagonica. PATAGONIAN FITZROYA. A tree 

 of variable dimensions, native of the Andes, from Chile 

 to the Straits of Magellan. Leaves dark green above, 

 with two white lines beneath. Has been in cultivation 

 over fifty years in Europe, but is rarely seen in this 

 country. 



Juniperus The Junipers, Savin and Red Cedar 



A group of evergreen trees and shrubs of great beauty and adaptability. They are largely used in 

 garden and landscape planting and embrace species of great hardiness. The arborescent forms make 

 beautiful specimens, while the prostrate varieties are widely used as a ground cover. In formal garden- 

 ing, the pyramidal and columnar forms are very effective, giving an architectural emphasis that is often 

 very desirable. A free exposure to sun and air is beneficial, combined with a well-drained substratum. 



J. chinensis procumbens aurea. 



Juniperus chinensis. CHINESE JUNIPER. A very hardy 

 and ornamental tree, perhaps the most ornamental of 

 the Junipers for the lawn or garden. Pyramidal or 

 columnar in outline, the foliage of a pleasing grayish 

 green color. Possesses wonderful adaptability to ex- 

 tremes of temperature and kinds of soils. 



J. chinensis aurea. GOLDEN CHINESE JUNIPER. The 

 growth of the season is diffused with yellow, becoming 

 more brilliant in full sunlight. This is a very attractive 

 tree. 



J. chinensis procumbens. PROCUMBENT CHINESE 

 JUNIPER. A dense but robust, procumbent shrub with 

 elongated stems and numerous short branchlets. A 

 most charming plant for rock-gardens. Foliage grayish 

 green. 



GOLDEN PROCUM- 

 BENT CHINESE JUNIPER. Similar to the last, but with 

 the growth of the season tinged with golden yellow. 



J. communis. COMMON JUNIPER. Usually a shrub 

 with spreading, sometimes prostrate branches which 

 curve upwards near the ends; widely distributed 

 throughout the colder regions and mountains of the 

 Northern Hemisphere. Foliage grayish green, very 

 dense. A beautiful shrub and valuable in rockeries or 

 as a ground cover. 



J. communis aurea. GOLDEN COMMON JUNIPER. Like 

 the former, but with the growth of the current year 

 suffused with bright golden yellow. Very ornamental 

 and beautiful, especially ac the beginning of the grow- 

 ing season.
