24 TREES AND SHRUBS 


succeed here, but from its cold home we might infer that it would endure our 
winters. Leaves are different in shape on different parts of the shrub. 
Juniperus prostrata, Persoon. PROSTRATE JUNIPER. ( Yuntperus Sabina, 
Linneus.) <A creeping shrub, ranging from the Lakes to Northwest America. 
Hardy. Beautiful ornament to rockeries, a vigorous grower, and of a dark- 
green color. Sometimes spreading over 30 feet in circumference when it is 
not more than 3 feet high. 
Juniperus recurva, Dow. RECURVED-BRANCHED JUNIPER. ( Funiperus 
incana, Hamilton, Funiperus repanda, Hort.) The sexes of this plant are 
on different trees, which differ widely in appearance. The rough bark scales 
off. Old leaves are chaffy, and these, with the peculiar bark, serve at once to 
indicate the tree. In India (its home) the berries are burned as incense. In 
some places it becomes a large tree, in others remains a mere shrub. It is 
rather tender here. 
Juniperus rigida, Szedo/d. STirF-LEAVED JAPAN JUNIPER. ( Funiperus 
communis, Thunberg.) From China and Japan, where it grows 25 feet high. 
Handsome, but requiring care and protection here. 
Juniperus Sabina, Zzzn@us. SAVIN JUNIPER. ( Funiperus cupressifolia, 
flort.; Funiperus Lusitanica, Miller; Funiperus Lycia, Pallas.) Common 
to the mountains of Europe and to the colder parts of North America. With 
us it is usually prostrate; in Europe it rises 6 to 7 feet high. Rather too rugged 
for ornament, though its hardiness commends it. Used as a remedy. It has 
the following varieties: cupressifolia, Azton (not recognized by Gordon) ; 
has leaves of a ‘silvery glaucous hue.”? nana, //o7v?.,; is a dwarf carpet 
Juniper; rather out of place with us. tamariscifolia, 47fon; TAMARISK- 
LEAVED SAVIN. variegata, Loudon, has white, lemon-colored, and dark 
leaves intermixed on the same shrub. 
Juniperus Sheppardii, //ov¢. GLAuCcoUS CHINESE JUNIPER. ( Funiperus 
spherica glauca, Fortune; Funiperus sp. North of China in catalogues ?) 
There appears to be really much doubt as to the true relations of this small 
tree. Gordon positively asserts it is different from F spherica. The foliage 
is so brightly glaucous as to render the tree conspicuous even at a distance. 
From the North of China. 
Juniperus spherica, Lindley. GLOBULAR-FRUITED JUNIPER. ( Fun?- 
perus fortunet, Van Houtte; Funiperus Chinensis Smithii, Loudon.) A 
handsome tree from Northern China, where it grows 30 to 4o feet high. Its 
beauty makes it a desirable acquisition to our parks, but its hardiness is rather 
doubtful. 
Juniperus squamata, Doz. ScALY-LEAVED NEPAL JUNIPER. ( Fuz7- 
perus recurva, Hamilton; var. squamata, farlatore; Funiperus dumosa, 
Wallich; Funiperus Lambertiana, Wallich; Funiperus rigida, Wallich.) 
This is a handsome trailing species, which does well on rockeries. It comes 
from Nepal and Cashmere. Spirituous liquor is made from the berries. The 
Saragealag also are used in preparing yeast and also in preparing “ arrack”’ 
rom rice. 
Juniperus taxifolia, Hooker. YEW-LEAVED JUNIPER. ( Funiperus oblonga 
pendula, Loudon; Funiperus pendula vera, Hort.,; Funiperus communis 
pendula, Hort.) Shrub with spreading branches which have pendulous ends;
