JUNIPERS 189 
day another use that it was employed upon was as 
an ingredient of the medicine-bottle. It was also, 
according to old writers, applied to other purposes— 
marquetry, veneer, making cups as well as filling 
them with the afore-mentioned distillations from 
the berry. The oil of Juniper, we are also told, made 
good picture varnish. As there does not seem much 
probability of making a fortune out of it by growing 
it here, for timber, or drinking, or any other purposes, 
the economic part of the question hardly merits 
further attention. 
We have only tabulated nineteen of the Juniper 
species. There are many others that have been brought 
to ournotice. All countries surveyed by tree-hunters, 
from China to Peru, in all regions, from mountain tops 
to Mexican plains, from Arctic heights to tropical 
circles, claim their own particular locally estab- 
lished Juniper. Kew lists, Veitch, and Clinton Baker 
touch upon something over thirty different species, 
while Elwes and Henry deal specifically with some 
twenty-two species. Of the total number mentioned, 
Bean suggests more or less for planting with us 
sixteen of the species, and of these especially recom- 
mends nine. Many so far have not flourished or 
even been introduced among us. In this list may be 
mentioned the Macrocarpa, Occidentalis, Brevifolia, 
Squamata, Flaccida, Bermudiana, Thurifera, Procera. 
Of these the Flaccida and Thurifera grow at Bicton, 
and the Procumbens form of the Squamata is often 
seen in rockeries., 
ON THE THREE SUB-DIVISIONS OF THE JUNIPERINE : 
(1) SABINE ; (2) OxycEDRI; (3) ARCEUTHOS 
We have now come to the question of how to start 
upon an identifying pursuit of these Juniperine. 
The quest is made easier by one very striking differ-
