All thefe fpecies of Juniperus are of the ever-greea 
tribe, in eflimation principally for ornamental planting 
in fhrubberies, and other parts of pleafure-grounds, 
in which they make a confpicuous variety at all feafons; 
moflly of a clofe, branchy growth, from the bottom 
upward, and, in the greater part, grow in a fomewhat 
conic form; others fpreading, as in the Dwarf Savin, 
&c. the branches very clofely fet with the minute 
leaves, in fome fpreading and pointing outwards, in 
others imbricated, or lying over one another, and 
fome Handing eredl, and adorn the trees in conftant 
verdure; but the flowers, in their fmall amentums and 
minute florets, make no ornamental appearance: are 
fucceeded, in the females, by the roundifh berries, 
which in fome forts ripen plentifully in this country, 
as the Common Juniper, Portugal Savin, and fome- 
times in the Virginia Red Cedar; though of this, and 
moll of the other Cedar kinds, in which the berries 
are not produced plentifully, they are obtained from 
abroad by the feed-dealers, for fowing; as all the forts, 
both Junipers, Cedars, and Savins, are raifed from 
the feed in the fpring, or fome, occafionally, by layers 
and flips of the young branches, as hereafter ex¬ 
plained. 
Thefe ever-greens, in moll of the fortsj are more or 
lefs of a reflnous nature, and impart an aromati« 
odour. 
They are moflly tolerably hardy to grow in any com¬ 
mon, moderately dry foil, and almoft in any expofure; 
except the Juniperus bermudiana, which, being ten¬ 
derer, is generally cultivated as a green-houfe plant, 
but fometimes planted in the full ground ; Ihould have 
a warm fheltered fituation, and defended from fevere 
froft; all the others may be planted in any fituation, in 
common with other hardy ever-green Ihrubs and trees, 
or where they may be required, for ornament and va¬ 
riety in pleafure-grounds. 
Mod or all the fpecies are delirable ever-greens, in 
theirpeculiar growth and foliage, toornament and diver- 
fify Ihrubberies, and other decorative plantations, and to 
plant fingly on plats, lawns, &c, or fome of the larger
