JUNIPERUS sabina tamariscifolia (Tamarix 

 Savin Juniper). This is an excellent prostrate Juni- 

 per and has a most agreeable bright green color. The 

 leaves are needle shaped. Its habit is spreading and 

 procumbent, making it very useful for planting on 

 slopes and banks. 



J. squamata (Japanese Trailing Juniper). A 



low-growing evergreen with long, trailing branches 

 covered with numerous short branchlets of glaucous 

 green foliage. Admirably adapted to naturalistic 

 rock planting. 



J. squamata meyeri (Meyer Juniper). Slow 

 growing, dense upright habit; beautiful, changeable, 

 green, blue-white or reddish foliage, depending upon 

 the angle from which it is viewed. As a specimen 

 it proves very attractive, but to bring out its full 

 color it should have a dark green background of 

 shrubs or the larger evergreens. It thrives in wind- 

 swept locations, well suited for foundation plantings. 



J. virginiana kosteri (Koster Red Cedar). Open, 

 naturally spreading form with gracefully arching 

 branches. Its gray-green foliage forms a handsome 

 shrub which blends well in front of taller growing 

 evergreens. 



J. virginiana (Red Cedar). A graceful columnar 

 tree. Leaves are bright green or bluish green in 

 summer but assume a bronzy hue in winter where 

 severe weather is experienced. One of Maryland's 

 most prized native trees. The larger sizes, up to 



thirty feet or more, are easily transplanted and pro- 

 duce immediate effects that are charming and lasting. 



J. virginiana cannarti (Cannart Red Cedar). A 



pyramidal, compact Cedar of medium size and bear- 

 ing dark green, tufted foliage. Silvery blue berries 

 add to its attractiveness. 



J. virginiana elegantissima (Goldtip Red Cedar). 



The bright golden color of the young growth makes 

 this an extremely attractive tree. Compact and 

 pyramidal in form. 



J. virginiana glauca (Silver Red Cedar). A very 

 vigorous form of the Red Cedar having a beautiful 

 silvery blue tone. Contrasts pleasingly with other 

 evergreens. One of the most popular forms. Perfectly 

 hardy and thrives almost anywhere. 



J. virginiana globosa (Globe Red Cedar). Very 

 compact globe form with bright green foliage. 

 Fine for the garden or where a formal evergreen is 

 needed. 



J. virginiana pendula (Weeping Red Cedar). 



Very picturesque with slender, spreading branches 

 and pendulous branchlets. Unusual as a specimen. 



J. virginiana plumosa (Feather Red Cedar). An 



upright, pyramidal Cedar with graceful, plume-like 

 foliage, needle shaped leaves with whitish tips. 



J. virginiana schotti (Schott Red Cedar). Slow 

 growing, dense, pyramidal form bearing bright green 

 foliage. An extremely attractive tree. 



Spreading Junipers in a delightful, naturalistic planting with the graceful Pfitzer's Juniper 



in the background.
