Junipers 
(Cont’d) 
PFITZER JUNIPER The handsomest of the Chinese Juniper va¬ 
rieties, the Pfitzer is the most satisfactory of 
the low-spreading or prostrate type of juniper that we recommend 
for the South. Unusually beautiful in its distinctive grayish color 
and irregular, flat spreading growth. For the terrace planting, 
prominent low groups, about foundations, and as specimens it can¬ 
not be excelled. Price, 9 to 12-inch spread, 50 cents; 15 to 18-inch 
spread, $1.00; 18 to 24-inch spread, $1.50; 2 to 3 feet, $2.00; 3 to 
4 feet, $3.00. 
WHITE VARIEGATED 
SPINY CREEK JUNIPER 
Same form and growth as the original 
but with the foliage sprayed with white 
branchlets. 12-15-inch plants, $1.00; 
CANADENSIS A^ low vase-shaped bush with bronzy green foliage. 
18-24-inch plants, $1.50. 
ARBORVITAES 
BAKER’S PYRAMID A fine pyramidal type which is unexcelled 
for its tall, columnar growth, filling a place 
in ornamental planting for which there has been a great need. Of 
upright, narrow, columnar habit, with dense foliage, bright green 
at all times during the year. A valuable and effective tall-growing 
evergreen for formal effect. Price, 12 to 15 inches, well formed, 60 
cents each; 18 to 24 inches, well-formed, $1.00 each; 30 to 36 inches, 
$2.00 each. 
BERCKMAN Of dwarf habit, compact and symmetrical, almost 
globular as it gets older. All the branchlets are tipped 
with a bright golden tint, which is held all through the year. 
Make excellent lawn specimens. This is possibly the most popular 
variety in our entire list of Conifers. You will like the Dwarf 
Golden as a specimen or in a coniferous group. Price, 12-15 inches 
high, 75 cents; 15-18 inches high, $1; 18-24 inches, $2 each. 
Pfitzer Juniper 
COTONEASTER 
BONITA A beautiful, broad globe-shaped arborvitae of unequaled 
richness in color and perfection of form. Rich green 
color. Can be planted in most prominent locations as it makes uni¬ 
formly perfect growth. Slow growth makes it desirable in locations 
where other shrubs would overgrow. 9 to 12 inches, 50 cents each; 
15 to 18 inches, $1.00 each; 18 to 24 inches, $2.00. 
VESTAL’S DWARF COLDEN Very dwarf and compact, of per¬ 
fectly symmetrical, conical shape. 
Foliage is a beautiful golden tint which it holds throughout the 
year. Succeeds admirably in the South and is especially adapted 
for use in urns and very formal situations, where a dwarf conven¬ 
tional form is desired. 12-15 inches, 50 cents; 18-24 inches, $1.00; 
24-30 inches, $2.00. 
Indispensable in southern gardens are the Cotoneasters, which 
are splendid foliage plants for massing. The small whitish flowers 
in spring are quite attractive on many species, but their most 
valuable characteristic is the quantity of cheerfully colored red 
berries that brighten the bushes in autumn and winter. 
C. HORIZONTALIS ‘Rock Cotoneaster.” A prostrate, half-de¬ 
ciduous shrub, its angular branches hug¬ 
ging the ground and becoming beautiful with crimson leaves and 
bright red berries in the fall. 12 to 15-inch plants, B & B, 75 cents 
each; 15 to 18-inch plants, B & B, $1.00 each.

with unusually beautiful foliage. The 
color is a sort of lavender gray during the spring and summer 
changing to purple in the fall and winter. Very hardy to both 
drought and cold. Dense, fluffy growth, assuming the appearance 
of a broad cone. 1-1%-foot plants, 75 cents; 2-3-foot plants, $1.25.
