Juniperus virginiana var. glauca, the Silver Red-Cedar 



This is a very fine natural variety of the native Red-Cedar. 

 Its bluish-gray foliage, though not always very apparent, has value 

 in modifying the possible monotony of an evergreen setting. 



Next, straight ahead along the bank, is 



Juniperus virginiana var. Cannartii, Cannart's Red-Cedar 



This variety is said to be "a compact pyramidal form with dark 

 green foliage and bluish bloomy fruit." 



The next two trees are Chinese Junipers, followed by a Silver 

 Red-Cedar and then another Cannart's Red-Cedar. Then comes 

 a Variegated Pyramidal Chinese-Juniper, better specimens of 

 which we shall see later. 



Then comes a Silver Red-Cedar, a bit out of line, followed 

 similarly by a Chinese Juniper. Next in line, along the bank 

 again, is a Chinese Juniper, two Silver Red-Cedars, and then a low 



Juniperus Sabina, the Savin Juniper 



This is a spreading or procumbent species native to the moun- 

 tains of central and southern Europe extending into the Caucasus 

 and western Asia. The branchlets have a rather strong disagree- 

 able odor when bruised. YYe shall meet other specimens of this 

 species and gradually become familiar with it. 



Following the Savin, comes a 



Juniperus sphaerica, Fortune's Juniper 



This species is generally regarded as identical with /. chinensis. 

 However, plants secured under this name seem to be hardier in the 

 Garden. 



Next are two more Silver Red-Cedars. The last one stands 

 just beyond the bend of the embankment on our left. Before 

 observing the trees in this broader area let us finish with those 

 in the narrow strip we have just traversed. So we must return 

 to our starting point at the Pfitzer's Junipers.
