JUNIPER [Juniperus] 
For slender columns, you can choose from Chinese, Irish, Swedish, and the 
Virginian varieties; Irish being thinnest and bluest, Chinese the darkest and 
thickest except for the bulky columnar red cedars in blue, green, bronze _and 
yellow shades. For ground covering and ex¬ 
tensive rockery schemes, Horizontalis, Pfitzer's, 
Savin and Tamariscifolia are practical, also in 
selective colors. Dwarf Swedish and Spiny 
Greek are the shortest growing of the columnar 
type; Pfitzer's will best stand up under smoky, 
gaseous city conditions. 
Canadensis. A very hardy, dense, grayish 
green type of especial value in rockeries and 
for ground covering. The main branches are 
usually numerous and procumbent; well fur¬ 
nished with upright branches. Seldom over
