 Juniperus Virginiana pendula, Hort, the Weeping Bed 



Cedar. 

 There are three forms of the pendulous Bed Cedar to be found 

 in collections ; one the male form, another the female one, and 

 the third a hright-green one. The male kind has shorter and 

 much more numerous branchlets, while the female one has 

 longer, slenderer, and much fewer branchlets ; the third variety 

 is of a beautiful light glossy green, and the handsomest of the 

 three. The female form is generally known in collections as 

 Chamberlain's Weeping Red Cedar, while the green one is 

 called Juniperus Virginiana pendula viridis.
