Pfitzer Juniper 
Evergreens 
N EVER have evergreens been so popu¬ 
lar for use on home-grounds as they 
are today. In this family you will 
find varieties for all sorts of uses—tall 
trees for screens, spreading specimens for 
entrance and foundation groups, globe forms 
for formal plantings, dwarf varieties for 
borders and rock-gardens and scores of 
places where other plants do not quite 
fit the needs. In summer, evergreens 
give a refreshing coolness to the scene, 
and in winter their cheerful colors break 
the dull winter landscape. A good selec¬ 
tion of evergreens is a permanent in¬ 
vestment, increasing in value yearly. 
Hillenmeyer evergreens have made a 
reputation for quality in root-system, in 
form, and in vigor. At our prices they 
are a genuine bargain. 
Abies • Fir 
Abies concolor. Silver or White Fir. The 
best of the Firs and rivals Colorado blue 
spruce in showiness. We think it is one of 
the choicest of evergreens and an ideal 
specimen plant. In color it ranges from 
pale blue-green to blue, the needles being 
attractively distributed around the 
branches. Once established it is better 
able to withstand drought, as well as the 
soot and dust of city conditions. Of com¬ 
paratively slow growth but as hardy as 
an oak. Each Each

A. balsamea. Balsam Fir. As the name 
implies, its foliage has a pleasing aromatic 
perfume. Makes an attractive, moderately 
rapid-growing tree, resembling the spruce.

A. nordmanniana. Nordmann’s Fir. 
Forms a narrow pyramid of deep green 
foliage, with under side lighter green. Per¬ 
fectly hardy and free of all winter or insect 
injury. Each Each

Evergreen Quality 
Every evergreen has been transplanted 
to increase the root-system, and sheared 
to make it compact. Height does not in¬ 
dicate compactness and shapeliness, nor 
does price indicate value —seeing is be¬ 
lieving! 
Pyramidal Arborvitae 
See page 15 
Chamaecyparis 
Japan Cypress 
Chamaecyparis lawsoniana alumi. Scar¬ 
ab’s Cypress. Resembles the general 
retinospora group except that the foliage is 
an attractive blue and it is formed like the 
oriental arborvitae, in vertical fashion. It 
is inclined to grow a little open and the 
spring growth is as attractive as that of any 
other blue evergreen.

Sawara

Cypress. The foliage 
resembles that of the arborvitae, and the 
tree grows decidedly erect, with graceful 
branches. When sheared, the foliage de¬ 
velops its true color especially well; it is 
lacy in appearance and silvery beneath. 
Fine in the foundation planting where a 
heavy plant is wanted, and on the lawn it 
makes an attractive specimen. 
C. pisifera aurea. Golden Sawara Cypress. 
Has all the characteristics of the form 
described above, except that the foliage is 
a light green or bordering on yellow. Both 
of these will do well in city planting where 
some tenderer evergreens fail. 
C. pisifera plumosa. Plumed Cypress. 
Foliage grayish green, very finely cut, and 
feathery in appearance. It resembles a 
finely cut fern frond at certain stages of its 
development. Pyramidal in habit of 
growth. Will make a wonderful specimen 
if kept sheared as all Cypress should be. 
C. pisifera plumosa aurea. Golden Plumed 
Cypress. Similar in type to the preceding 
green form. The young foliage is light 
green, bordering on yellow. One of the 
most popular sorts for contrast planting 
in foundation or lawn-groups.

Colorado Blue Spruce. See page 14 
Chamaecyparis, continued 
C. pisifera squarrosa veitchi. Mossy 
Cypress. An unusually attractive plant, 
making a dense growth of soft, wool-like 
appearance. Its pale blue-green foliage is 
of unusual texture. Has a most interesting 
branching habit and should be used more 
liberally, but only in places where there 
is no great amount of soot or dust deposits.

Juniperus • Juniper 
Juniperus chinensis mascula. Green 
Chinese Juniper. A selected green type 
that is hardier and of better form. Branch¬ 
ing habit, slightly more open than others; 
the unusual terminal growth makes it 
highly desirable in winter. Holds its color 
when other evergreens are dull.

J. chinensis pfitzeriana. Pfitzer Juniper. 
The most popular of the spreading types. 
The branches spread horizontally, with 
the terminals slightly drooping. It lies 
close to the ground, and for edging larger 
plantings has no superior, supplying the 
flowing lines demanded in landscape 
plantings. Foliage gray-green in summer 
and winter, and will withstand the soot and 
dust of cities. The plant may be pruned in 
case it outgrows its location.

Staked Trees of Pfitzer Juniper. Fre¬ 
quently the usual Pfitzer Juniper can¬ 
not be used where a semi-erect plant is 
needed. Therefore we have “staked 
up” a quantity of selected trees, train¬ 
ing them to a single stem and allowing 
them to develop side branches. Thus 
they make an attractive vigorous plant 
for restricted places. Sizes and prices 
same as for standard Pfitzer Juniper. 
Please remember that we prepay trans¬ 
portation charges if you add 10 per cent to 
the total amount of your order.
