planted when small. It is a delightful conifer with dark green 
foliage, with the young growths a yellowish green, offering a 
striking contrast with the old leaves. It is of conical outline, 
symmetrical, and one of the best evergreens for this climate, 
standing drought and exposure well. 
Juniperus nana and J. Sabina, with the ascending stems 2-4 
feet high. A form of the first, known as aurea, is effective in the 
bright yellow tips of its branches. 
Juniperus prostrata and J. chinensis procumbens are of trailing 
or prostrate habit, and useful along the margins of a group. 
Juniperus virginiana glauca, the blue red cedar, is of a beautiful

The following are some of the best broad-leaved evergreens: 
flex crenata, the Japanese holly. An excellent shrub of dark 
green thick foliage, with a neat appearance and irregular outline. 
Commonly grows from 3-6 feet tall and broad.
