Chamaecyparis Noofkatensis (Yellow Cedar or Nootka Cypress) : 
Native of the North-Western coast. A promising plant, but not quite 
hardy in all situations. It has no white areas underneath. It grows 
to be a very tall tree. 
Chamaecyparis thyoides (Coast White Cedar) : 
It is usually found native along the coast, but is valuable ornamental, 
pyramidal tree. 
JUNIPEBUS : 
Juniperus communis (Common Juniper) : 
Distinct winter buds present. Never any foliage variation, always 
sharp. Three conditions of growth, ground cover, low, and bush form. 
From Juniperus communis has sprung a number of dwarf forms that 
are useful for rock gardens, for planting in front of taller Evergreens, 
or massing about pools or stone work. They can be cut back but will 
make large masses if unchecked. 
Juniperus communis depressa: 
Very small, low, irregular form; excellent for edging or rockery. 
Juniperus communis depressa plumosa: 
Turns purple in winter, making charming contrast with other ever- 
greens, 
Juniperus communis Ribernica (Irish Juniper) : 
Columnar, slender, slow growing, tender. Gray green, apt to turn 
brown. 
Juniperus Chinensis (Chinese Juniper) 
Columnar form, grey-green foliage, rapid grower, profits by shearing. 
Very hardy and useful where strong winds prevail. 
Juniperus Chinensis Pfitzeriana (Pfitser's Juniper): 
Gray green, broad bushy type, valuable for mixed planting. 
Juniperus Chinensis procumbens: 
Excellent, very low, ground cover. 
Juniperus Chinensis Sargentii: 
Japan. Makes an enormous sheet of grey-green ground cover. 
Juniperus Virginiana (Eed Cedar or Red Juniper) : 
Native Cedar. It has at least thirty cultivated varieties. Apt to be 
straggly, can be sheared with good results. The full grown tree gives 
an effect like the Italian Cypress. Should not be planted near 
orchards, for it, as well as other Junipers, is a host for the apple rust. 
But certain varieties of apples are very susceptible and others are 
not. It is well to consult local experiment stations and plant only 
the resistent varieties. 
Juniperus Virginiana glauca (Blue Cedar) : 
Very handsome in form and color. Stands planting against walls or 
where reflected heat from drives is troublesome. It should be sheared 
for compact growth. 
Juniperus Virginiana Schotti: 
Dark green. Hardy. Excellent for windy positions. Its tall, col- 
umnar growth makes a good accent in group planting. 
Juniperus Virginiana tripartita: 
Flaring, picturesque growth. Dark green. Very useful in massed 
planting where large effects are wanted. 
Juniperus Sabine: 
A rather low, but flaring form of irregular growth. Very decorative. 
Good winter color of dark green. 
Juniperus Sabina tamariscifolia: ■ 
Grayish green, low spreading, making large masses. Very hardy and 
beautiful. Must be moved when young. 
Juniperus horisontalis : 
A low, spreading Sabina form. Used to be called Juniperus Sabina 
prostrata.
