( )n allied genera these lines are on the lower surface of the 

 needle leaves. 



The junipers thrive best in sandy and loamy, moderately moist 

 soil, but grow well on dry gravelly ground too. Limestone forma- 

 tion and open sunny situations are favorable. They are suited for 

 use as hedges and windbreaks ; also for seaside planting. 



A few of the junipers furnish lumber for furniture manufac- 

 ture and other purposes in their native countries. Oils and bever- 

 ages have also been secured from the fruits.
