scape effects. Some are very 
slim, of upright spiral habit, 
suitable for accent planting, 
while others are low or 
spreading, and fine for in 
front of shrubberies or 
foundation planting. The 
trailing varieties are splen¬ 
did for rockeries, banks, or 
ground covers. The com¬ 
pact form typical of the 
Juniper is very pleasing, 
and fits them for formal 
use. A group planting of 
the various kinds makes a 
most pleasing effect.
