Ciipressus Lawsoniana Erecta Viridi's (Erect Green 
Lawson Cypress). Few Conifers Compare With 
it. The Tree Assumes This Natural 
Form Without Trimming: 
GINKGO biloba (Saiisburia adiantif olia. ) (Maiden 
Hair Tree.) One of the most remarkable trees 
in cultivation. Leaves are fan-shaped, clear 
green during summer and changing to a clear, 
soft yellow in the fall. Apparently extinct 
except in cultivation. Has been preserved from 
antiquity in grounds about the temples of 
China and Japan. Although deciduous is really 
a true conifer. Each 
Potted, 1 to 2 ft $ .60 
JUNIPERUS (Juniper.) Mainly small trees of 
rather slow growth. They have two kinds of 
foliage. One is needle-like, prickly, in whorls 
of three; the other scale-like, over-lapping and 
arranged in four rows like those of cypress, 
which they often closely resemble. Most species 
show both kinds of leaves on the same tree; 
others are limited to but one form. Fruit is 
a berry, not at all cone-like. All varieties are 
well suited to California. 
Each 
Balled, 2 to 3 ft $3.00 
Balled, 1 to 2 ft 2.50 
J. excelsa. Handsome tree, thickly branched, of 
dense growth, with glaucous green foliage. 
J. excelsa stricta. A variety of the preceding. 
Growth more compact and color more intense. 
Fine subjects for low planting. 
J. virginiana. The red cedar of the East. Pyra- 
midal form with branches that are at first erect 
or sub-erect, afterwards horizontal and in old 
trees frequently decumbent. 
J. virginiana glauca. (Blue Virginia Cedar.) A 
very glaucous form of the so-called Eastern 
"Red Cedar." The silvery color is quite pro- 
nounced and its habit graceful and pleasing. 
Very handsome tree. 
J. chinensis albo variegata. (Variegated Japanese 
Juniper.) Similar in form and habit to J. 
chinensis fortunei but is slightly variegated 
with creamy white. 
J. chinensis fortunei. A pleasing variety of rather 
rapid, erect growth. Branches are long and 
gracefully arching. 
J. communis hibernica. (Irish Juniper.) A dis- 
tinct and beautiful variety of slender, erect, 
dense, columnar growth. Foliage very glau- 
cous. Very useful where a tree is needed 
shaped like Italian Cypress, but of slower and 
smaller growth. 
Prostrate types of junipers. On account of their 
prostrate form, sizes are based on the horizontal 
spread. These beautiful low-growing types are 
excellent for foreground planting, mass effects 
or rock work. Each 
Balled, 1% to 2 ft $2.50 
J. chinensis pfitzeriana. (Pfilzer's Juniper.) A very 
graceful variety. Develops a large number of 
long, slender, tapering shoots clothed with fine 
sage green foliage. Most of the leaves are 
minute and scale-like, but with here and there 
a few very silvery ones of the needle form. 
J. chinensis procumbens. (Creeping Japanese Juni- 
per.) A dense, dwarf shi'ub with trailing 
branches and glaucous foliage. 
J. chinensis procumbens aureo -variegata. (Golden 
Creeping Japanese Juniper.) A form of above; 
foliage variegated with golden yellow. 
J. sabina. (Savin Juniper.) A dwarf Spreading 
shrub, with partially trailing branches. Thrives 
in the poorest soil. 
J. sabina prostrata. A more prostrate form of the 
preceding. 
J. sabina tamaricifolia. A variety of sabina with 
much finer and deeper colored foliage. 
LIBOCEDRUS. Large trees with foliage much 
like Thuya (Arbor Vitae). The native species 
is one of our handsomest conifers. Each 
Balled, 4 to 6 ft $3.50 
Balled, 3 to 4 ft 2.50 
Balled, 2 to 3 ft 2.00 
L. chilensis. (Chilena Cedar.) Tree of Spreading 
but compact growth. Foliage glaucous green, 
marked with silvery lines beneath. A very 
graceful, attractive tree. 
L. chilensis virdis. A variety of preceding, with 
deeper green foliage. 
L. decurrens. (Incense Cedar, White Cedar.) 
California and Oregon. A noble tree of vigor- 
ous, close growth and conical outline. Branches 
are spreading and ascending, clothed with com- 
pact, bright, glossy green foliage. Easily 
among the best of our specimen trees.
