distinguish between immature specimens of various prostrate 

 junipers, as the two which occur together here. 



The distorted and somewhat Japanesque small tree nearer the 

 outer road is unidentified. 



Next are four low-spreading plants of the Needle-leaved Pros- 

 trate-Juniper (p. 115) and next to them is a large group of several 

 Pfitzer's Junipers. 



Beyond these the next evergreen by the inner road is 



Juniperus chinensis var. aurea, the Golden Chinese-Juniper 



This variety does not do well in this location. It is bright 

 yellow in spring. Another similar plant stands directly ahead by 

 the inner road. The two narrower and greener plants between 

 these two are young 



Juniperus virginiana var. pyramidalis, Pyramidal Red-Cedars 



The taller tree by the outer road is a Chinese Juniper. 

 The small bushy plant with bluish spiny foliage near the outer 

 road is 



Juniperus squamata var. Meyeri, Meyer's Juniper 



This is one of the most brightly colored evergreens, rivaling the 

 Koster's Blue Spruce in spring. It is native to China. 



Next we see two large Pyramidal Chinese-Junipers (p. 118). 

 The one by the inner road is var. variegata. Then come several 

 creeping forms nearer the inner road. The first of these is a 

 Creeping Juniper (p. 118). Next to it is a Tamarix Savin, 

 another very similar specimen of which is two paces directly ahead. 

 The more upright bushy plant midway between these two and 

 nearer the inner road is 



Juniperus communis var. depressa, the Prostrate Juniper 



This is a geographical variety of the Common Juniper found in 

 eastern North America. The specimens in the collection are old 

 and do not show the pleasing low-spreading nature of this plant. 



In the center the low-creeping plant was received as Juniperus 

 Sabiua var. prostrata, which probably is the same as Juniperus 

 Iioricoiitalis.
