Japanese Cherry 
SHIROTAE (Mt. Fuii> 
but sends up several graceful wavy 
than a tree. As yet decidedly rare. 
SILVERSPRAY WEEPING CYPRESS. Like the 
Weeping Deodar its tendency to droop is so strong 
that it must be staked when young. Branches 
grow downward always. Foliage quite silvery; 
habit open and graceful. Should be given room 
to develop as lower branches will spread on the 
ground. 
HOLLYWOOD JUNIPER (Juniperus chinensis 
torulosa). A beauty that is too little known. Foli¬ 
age is a peculiarly rich green and the habit is 
most pleasing. With a little training it grows nar¬ 
rowly erect but without a semblance of formality 
or stiffness. This is due to the undulating growth 
of main trunk and branches. It has a grace and 
charm difficult to describe but always admired. 
MEYER JUNIPER (Juniperus squamata meyeri). 
A newcomer which has received a warm welcome. 
Was discovered in China and recently introduced 
into American gardens. The foliage is richly silver 
colored with an unusual metallic luster which is 
very distinctive. Its attractiveness is enhanced 
by its very unusual habit. The branches are not 
at all crooked but never straight. They curve and 
bend in every direction. It makes no main trunk 
shoots which of course makes it a shrub rather 
WILSON WEEPING JUNIPER. The name is slightly misleading as in the usual sense 
it is not a weeping variety at all. The body of the plant is quite compact and from this 
it sends out a few longer branches which arch most gracefully toward the tips, account¬ 
ing for the name. Like most other Junipers it has two distinct types of leaves which 
are soft sage-green with a pronounced silvery sheen that adds to the beautiful effect. 
WEEPING GIANT SEQUOIA (Sequoia gigantea pendula). A striking example of the 
extent to which trees can vary. Its relationship to the noble monarchs of the forest 
would hardly be suspected from its appearance. Only the leader grows erect; the other 
branches grow directly downward. At first it is quite erect and slender, but with age is 
likely to throw out errant branches in almost any direction which greatly adds to the 
picturesque appearance. 
IRISH Y^EW (Taxus baccata fastigiata). Far from a novelty but included here for its 
stately appearance. It grows so slowly that it is never common, but its unique habit 
and rich very dark green foliage lends an air of distinction wherever planted. Truly an 
aristocrat, it is particularly adapted for formal gardens and also for parkways if shade 
is not required. 
PYRAMIDAL AMERICAN ARBORVITAE 
(Thuya occidentalis pyramidalis). Styles 
change! In the past Italian Cypress has been 
widely planted where a formal tree was re¬ 
quired. But unfortunately it has many faults 
which are killing its popularity. The worst 
is its tendency to ^‘break” or lose its slender 
figure, caused by the long erect branches 
getting too heavy and spreading away from 
the tree. Hence it is no wonder that its 
place is rapidly being taken by this beauti¬ 
ful tree which has the same stately appear¬ 
ance with much richer green foliage, and 
best of all makes only short lateral branches 
that can’t possibly ‘‘break.” We can recom¬ 
mend it most highly where something of its 
habit is needed.
