Exquisite, Living Columns 
for the Entrance or Garden. 
(Juniperus chinensis pyramidalis) 
Not only is this new evergreen distinctly beautiful, but it is also of supreme hardb 
ness, thriving well everywhere—North or South—except in a too wet or too shady 
place. It never grows more than 15 or 20 feet high, with each year’s growth becom' 
ing more compact and shapely. The tall, slim columns of deep green shading to blue 
give a touch of elegance wherever used—at the entrance, in the foundation border, 
or as formal sentinels in the garden. They are very easily established and grow rapid' 
ly. You will be delighted with our extra select specimens.

A Colorful, Refined Juniper—So Dis¬ 
tinctive on the Landscape. 
Pyramid Juniper 
(Juniperus virginiana pyramidaliformia) 
The changeable colors of this beautiful new evergreen are a most interesting and 
delightful feature—lovely gray'green during the summer when covered with the new 
growth, then turning in the fall and winter to a decided plum color. It is a hardy 
tree, developing a slim, refined cone, and gives picturesque contrast to either a formal 
or informal planting. Each 10

Meyer Juniper 
Rich, Unusual Colors and Unique Form 
Make This the Most Fascinating of All 
Evergreens. 
(Juniperus squamata Meyeri) 
Here at the nursery we have never taken quite the interest in a new evergreen that 
we have in the Meyer Juniper. It has a delightful irregularity of outline that draws 
your attention immediately—sometimes more upright, again more trailing. The hand' 
some foliage is thick, pointed and prickly, and of a rich, shining blue color. Some' 
times in the sunlight the color will be a distinct mauve, sometimes a deep green, cc 
even a silvery reflex—a beautiful study in color harmony. Close to the pool or in 
the rockery the unusual character of the Meyer Juniper is set off to perfection; in 
borders or foundation groups it gives superb coritrast. We have the finest specimens 
in the United States.

Ferris' Grafted 
Silver Cedar 
(Juniperus scopulorum Ferrisi) 
Regal Specimens 
of Bright, Shin¬ 
ing Silver are the 
Choicest Land¬ 
scape Material. 
The grafts, from which 
these handsome evergreens 
were propagated, were select- 
ed from trees of the very 
bluest blue, and of the most 
perfect column form. The sib 
ver foliage, fine and feathery, 
is magnificent both in texture 
and color, the blue sheen especially marked during summer 
and fall. A very rapid grower, compact and graceful, and 
hardy everywhere—developing a symmetrical, silver-blue 
specimen that is superb for the entrance, foundation groups, 
or out in the garden. 12 to 15 feet at maturity when un' 
trimmed.
