trees of approximately the same size in this corner are Chinese 

 Junipers. 



The next two smaller trees of about equal size are Fortune's 

 Juniper (p. 111).. 



The two very low evergreens close to the ground nearer the 

 inner road are Needle-leaved Prostrate-Junipers (p. 115). 



The next four small globular trees which are unmistakably alike 

 are 



Juniperus chinensis var. pyramidalis, the Pyramidal 

 Chinese-Juniper 



This is one of the most distinctive varieties in the collection. 

 In the spring the fourth or most westerly of these four bushes 

 has whitish- or yellowish-tipped foliage in spots and is known as 

 Juniperus chinensis var. pyramidalis variegata, the Variegated 

 Pyramidal Chinese-Juniper. 



Between the first three of these bushy junipers and the inner 

 road are two more Fortune's Junipers p. 111). Close by, the 

 next taller tree with drooping foliage is a Weeping Chinese- 

 Juniper (p. 116). Beyond it the next low-spreading evergreen 

 with open center by the inner road and east of the lamppost is a 

 Savin (p. 111). 



Next we see several low evergreens close to the ground. The 

 nearer one in the center and a similar plant by the inner road are 



Juniperus Sabina var. tamariscifolia, the Tamarix Savin 



This is a handsome low-spreading variety of the Savin. 

 The second low-creeping evergreen in the center and a similar 

 one by the outer road are 



Juniperus horizontalis var. prostrata, the Creeping Juniper 



This name accompanied these two plants from the nursery that 

 supplied them. The varietal name, var. prostrata, is unnecessary, 

 for the Creeping Juniper is a distinct prostrate species found wild 

 on sandy and rocky soils in southern Canada and the northern 

 United States. Large patches of it make beautiful ground covers 

 of bluish tint for banks or rock gardens. It is very difficult to
