EVERGREENS FOR YEAR ’ROUND BEAUTY 
7 
JUNIPER (Juniperus) 
Irish Juniper, Juniperus hibernica. Columnar in 
habit and quite compact in growth, and on this 
account useful in formal gardening and wherever 
a break in rounded lines is wanted. Foliage 
bluish-green. 
Prostrate Juniper, communis depressa. The well- 
known, valuable many stemmed Dwarf Juniper. 
Rarely exceeds 2 feet in height, good form of 
Juniper for ground cover. It is at home on sandy 
or gravelly hillsides fully exposed to the sun, 
where single plants often reach 15 feet or more 
in diameter. Is sometimes catalogued as Junip¬ 
erus Communis which is erroneous. The name 
Juniperus Canadensis is also applied, which is a 
synonym. 
Golden Prostrate Juniper, communis depressa 
aurea. The aurea type is the golden form, simi¬ 
lar to the green type except in color. 
Savin Juniper, Juniperus sabina. A dark, rich green 
Juniper of low, spreading habit. Splendid for 
where a dwarf plant is wanted in beds or groups 
or in rock gardens. 
Pfitzer's, chinensis pfitzeriana. This is the most 
popular of all the spreading types. Its habit of 
growth, its pendulous branches and attractive 
foliage is strikingly beautiful. The branches are 
horizontally spreading and the terminals slightly 
Irish Juniper. drooping. It lays close to the ground and for 
edging plantings there is nothing superior. Flow¬ 
ing lines are especially valuable in landscape 
planting and this Juniper seems to fill this requirement better than any other. 
The foliage is a grey green both summer and winter. 
Blue Virginia Ceclar. 
English Juniper (Juniperus communis vul¬ 
garis). An excellent juniper of the med¬ 
ium tall-growing varieties. In habit of 
growth it resembles the Irish Juniper, but 
being a somewhat loose grower makes it 
necessary to keep it sheared to shape. 
Swedish Juniper (Juniperus suecia). One 
of the newer varieties of Junipers, re¬ 
sembling the Irish Juniper in habit and 
color, but it has a tendency to grow 
bushy, and should be sheared and kept 
compact. 
Stricta Juniper (Juniperus excelsa stricta). Considered one of the best and 
most usable of all the Juniper family. For foundation planting, for massing 
or for planting singly as specimens it cannot be equalled. The plant is of the 
low growing variety, grayish green foliage, slow grower and of course is very 
shapely and needs no shearing. 
Blue Virginia Cedar (Juniperus Virginia glauca). This is one of the common 
Red Cedar varieties, but unlike its parent it is more desirable. The foliage 
is a steel or silvery blue. 
Red Cedar, Juniperus virginiana. Pyramidal habit, dark green to bluish foliage. 
One of the most useful and characteristic trees of our American landscapes, 
rivaling the Italian Cypress in beauty. Adapted for planting in all sections 
of the country. 
Tamariscifolia (Juniperus Tamariscifolia). A low, trailing, somewhat spread¬ 
ing type. Foliage compact, bright green. Thrives in moist fertile soil and is 
ideal for edging evergreen plantings. 
Ffitzer’s Juniper. 
Prostrate Juniper.
