erect types are well adapted for use as hedges and for planting as shelter. In many parts of 

 the country they are used extensively as windbreaks. 



Junipers are without equal because of their beauty and ability to withstand the severest 

 weather even in exposed situations on the seashore. They are found in every state in 

 the Union and south to Mexico as well as throughout the ultratropical regions of the 

 Northern Hemisphere.

 jPf^itzer juniper 



Its foliage is gray-green, year 'round. 

 The plume-like branches are un- 

 usually graceful. Pfitzer's Juniper is 

 employed for foundation plantings as 

 well as specimens and hedges. Used 

 as a hedge it forms a distinctive 

 boundary of great variety and beauty. 

 It is tolerant of city conditions and 

 thrives in sunlight or partial shade. 

 Like all other varieties of Junipers, 

 Pfitzer's thrives best in loamy, moder- 

 ately moist soil, but grows well in 

 rather dry, rocky or gravelly ground, 

 preferring open, sunny to semi-sunny 

 situations. There are many places 

 where an evergreen of this type can 

 be used. 



Junipers, both pyramidal and 

 spreading, form a setting for 

 the flowering dogwood.
