JUNIPERUS. Juniper and Red Cedar 



There are two predominant lines in landscape architecture— the horizontal and 

 the vertical— the Red Cedar and the common Juniper contribute both. 

 JUNIPERUS chinensis Pfitzeriana. Pfitzer's Juniper. Fluffy, fleecy, spreading 

 plants with long, horizontal plumes of blue-green foliage. 



1-2 ft. high, 2-2H ft. spread $6.00 each, $50.0:0 per 10 



J. communis. Common Juniper. We have them by the thousands. An unusual op- 

 portunity for you to use them extensively to edge off your groups of Pines and Cedars 

 Remember where you have seen them on a wind-swept pasture and compose such 

 groups on your own grounds; plant them at the foundation of the house, especially 

 on the sandy, dry side; add them to your wild landscape along the Piping Rock trails. 



Is your entrance dangerous because the line of view for approaching automobiles 

 is blocked? Take out the tail plants and put in common Junipers, Yew and other 

 cover plants. You have time this Fall and Winter. 



As you look at places that have been planted three to twenty years you will see 

 there is no foliage less than 6 ft. high where foliage 2 ft. high is needed. 



1 ft. high, 1-2 ft. wide $2.00 each, $17.50 per 10, $150.00 per 100 



JUNIPERUS species from Frank Meyer. Frank Meyer, Explorer for the XT. S. 

 Department of Agriculture, brought us two grafted plants from China. This is the 

 first time it has been offered. It is an irregular, picturesque little plant growing 

 3 ft. high, 2 ft. broad, with dense, deep blue foliage like the Koster's Blue Spruce. 



ft. high • $10.00 each 



J. virginiana. Red Cedar. Native Red Cedar that comes up on abandoned fields, 

 fence rows and seashores. You can plant Cedars all Summer and all Winter with 

 equal success. Labor and trucks are most available in Winter. Mulch the ground 

 in December and early January to keep out frost. Then you will feel the satisfaction 

 of using all the time and all of your land. Under plant with cover plants. Then 

 they are all beautiful. Don't plant a single row of Cedars just big enough for a screen, 

 but make it as beautiful as the picture on page 5.

PICEA. S P ruce 



The firs and spruces have tall spiry tops and dense wind-defying foliage that will 

 make you a narrow wall of green. 

 P. Douglasii. Douglas Spruce. See Pseudotsuga. 



P. orien talis. Oriental Spruce. The beauty of landscape composition is largely 

 the gradation from dark to light, from deep shadows to sunny openings. For a 

 dark background, use Oriental Spruce, Nikko Fir, Red Pine, White Pine, Red 

 Cedar and Japanese Yew. For lighter foliage, use Scotch Pine, Austrian Pine, Doug- 

 las Spruce, Concolor Fir, Colorado Blue Spruce, Common Juniper. The Oriental 

 Spruce keeps its foliage nine years, therefore, it does not get open and scraggy. 



2 ft. high $3.50 each, $30.00 per 10 



3 ft. high 6.00 each, 50.00 per 10 



5 ft. high .' 13.00 each, 120.00 per 10 



P. pungens var. glauca. Colorado Blue Spruce. The Blue Spruce enlivens the land- 

 scape usually where used against a dark background or at the end of a vista. You will 

 be delighted to see our big old plants that have been growing ten to fifteen years, re- 

 cently transplanted so they have perfect roots for successful growth on your grounds. 



6 ft. high. $25.00 each, $180.00 per 10 



8 ft. high 45.00 each, 425.00 per 10 



P. var. Kosteri. Roster's Colorado Blue Spruce. Similar in color but more blue than 

 the last and more irregular in shape.

8 ft. high 50.00 each
