Juniperus, continued 
. communis depressa plumosa. Purple 
Spreading Juniper. A very unusual va¬ 
riety, remaining close to the ground and in 
summer has a silvery reflex to the other¬ 
wise gray-green foliage. In fall and winter 
assumes a purplish cast that is unusual in 
evergreens. Fine for rock-work or low 
planting. Each Each

J. communis hibernica. Irish Juniper. Of 
decided columnar form and immediately 
attracts attention. The foliage is a glaucous 
green. For formal work, especially in con¬ 
trast with other plants, it has decided 
advantage over anything you can use for 
such work. It is slender in habit and needs 
no shearing. Each Each

J. communis suecica. Swedish Juniper. 
Somewhat similar to Irish Juniper except 
that it is hardier, has slightly broader, 
column-like form, and is slower in growth. 
In color a brighter shade of blue-green. 
While not displacing Irish Juniper, for 
formal effects, has its place where slow- 
growing, bright-foliaged, formal trees are 
needed. Each Each

Juniperus, continued 
J. virginiana cannarti. Cannart’s Juniper. 
A line, pyramidal, compact-growing ever¬ 
green with wonderful winter color, and the 
best of its type. It is perfectly hardy and 
never suffers winter-burn common to some 
other Junipers. 
J. virginiana glauca. Blue Juniper. One 
of the best trees offered today. It grows 
pyramidal, but has graceful, spreading 
branches if left untrimmed. When sheared, 
a perfect column may be had. In color, a 
light blue and a distinct contrast with any 
other of this group. 
J. virginiana keteleeri. Keteleer’s Cedar. 
Makes a compact, pyramidal tree, well 
proportioned as to density and height. The 
foliage has the appearance of being more 
fleshy than most Junipers. Its slate-colored 
berries are large and make an attractive 
showing against the foliage. 
J. virginiana pyramidiformis. Hill’s Dun¬ 
dee Juniper. A rather new, pyramidal, 
compact-growing evergreen of much merit. 
Bluish green foliage in spring changing to 
plum-like color in early autumn. Stands 
shearing well. Excellent for formal 
planting.

Picea • Spruce 
Picea canadensis. White Spruce. A very 
hardy evergreen with light green foliage, 
and similar in many respects to the Norway 
Spruce, except that it is decidedly slower- 
growing in our locality and can safely be 
used where a medium-sized or small tree 
is wanted. 
P. canadensis albertiana. Black Hills 
Spruce. One of the good western ever¬ 
greens finding their way East. In general 
appearance not unlike the White Spruce, 
but more compact and slower-growing. 
The most pleasing characteristic is the 
bright green or blue growth that appears 
in the spring, making one think it is a 
Colorado Blue Spruce. Deserves planting 
where such a tree is needed. 
P. excelsa. Norway Spruce. The most 
popular of the Spruce family as it is easy 
to transplant, hardy, and grows rapidly. 
Pyramidal in shape and when used as a 
specimen is very fine. For screen, wind¬ 
break, and hedges they are equally appro¬ 
priate. The needles are dark green.

Blue Spruce; Colorado Blue 
This grand tree has been much 
for its fine form and color. It 
varies from light green to blue. However, 
in spring, when new growth covers the tree, 
they all have a pronounced blue color. 
Where you are not so particular as to color, 
this tree is one to please. However, if you 
want the pronounced shades you should 
use either the selected Blue or Koster’s, 
as described below.

Pinus • Pine 
Pinus montana mughus. Mugho Pine. 
An excellent dwarf Pine, globe-shaped, and 
erect branching. It is especially attractive 
in spring, when the new growth, which 
seems like miniature candles, completely 
covers the bush. Each

P. strobus. White Pine. A familiar, tall, 
majestic native evergreen. Grows rapidly 
as evergreens go, and with its long, flexible, 
light green, pendulous needles proves one 
of our best trees. Can be used as a wind¬ 
break or specimen. 
P. sylvestris. Scotch Pine. One of the best 
Pines offered. Very quick to establish 
itself, grows rapidly, and has ability to 
grow luxuriantly on high and dry ground. 
Its needles are shorter than either White 
or Austrian Pine, its habit more compact, 
the foliage dark green. Where quick effect 
is wanted, this variety will prove as 
satisfactory as any evergreen.
