JUNIPERS (Continued) 
Juniperus squamata meyeri (Meyer Juniper) 
A new novelty of unusual merit. The late Frank N. Meyer, plant 
explorer of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, found this tree in 
China. The original trees were distributed by the United States Govern¬ 
ment. It has also been called “Fishback Juniper.” It has a most unusual 
color and habit. The leaves are plump, pointed and prickly, and of bright, 
shining blue color. The foliage appears of different colors when viewed 
from various angles. There are distinct tones of green, white and pinkish- 
red, making it the most striking in color of any evergreens. It grows in 
an irregular form. It makes an ideal planting for the rockery or around 
a pool. It is strictly hardy and does well in all parts of the country.

Juniperus virginiana (Redcedar) 
This tree is one of our oldest, most popular and best known ever¬ 
greens. However, there is a wide variation in habit among the Redcedars, 
depending upon the particular strain of the tree or the locality where 
the seed is gathered. We are propagating a close-growing, compact, dis¬ 
tinctly pyramidal form. Redcedar often grows naturally in gravelly hill¬ 
sides, and is excellent for planting in poor, sandy soils. Widely used as 
an understock for grafting Junipers.
