JUNIPER PEITZER (Juniperus Pfitzeriana) —This tree

today. It is a Juniper that thrives under many con¬ 
ditions. It succeeds in exposed locations, in full sun, 
also in shady protected places. Its foliage is of an at¬ 
tractive greenish blue. If left alone it forms an at¬ 
tractive low, broad, irregular form, but by staking up 
one of the leaders it takes the pyramidal form. An 
excellent foundation or group Evergreen.

branched Evergreen, sometimes growing 4 feet high.

evergreens in the 
background. It is 
desirable as a low 
in foundation 
groups. It does well in smoky atmospheres.

shearing well, and can be made into many shapes. An 
excellent, tall Evergreen.

JUNIPER ANDORRA (Juniperus comm. dep. plumosa) — 
This Juniper has proven a most satisfactory low grow¬ 
ing tree. It never burns out, and throughout the year 
carries a most attractive color. As soon as the frost 
comes in the fall, it takes on an unusually attractive 
rich purple bronze color, not the brownish cast some¬ 
times found in Red Cedar. The spring and summer 
color is a rich bright green. It seldom raises its 
branches over 18 inches off the ground. It is still 
quite rare in nurseries and stocks are limited.

JUNIPER SPINY GREEK —This beautiful variety forms 
a tall, dense, narrow, conical head, tapering gradual¬ 
ly from the ground to a sharp terminal point, and is

tree Is well adapted for foundation planting, rock 
gardens, or places where small or dwarf evergreens
