Family. A most unusual columnar style Juniper. 
The foliage has a beautiful silvery cast which

it is one of the leading Evergreens. We can 
furnish these in either clipped-narrow style, 
or in the natural more bushy growing style 
at the same price. This is truly an out¬ 
standing variety and at our low prices you 
should order a pair or more. (See inside

• PFITZER’S JUNIPER 
Pfitzerlana J.— Its foliage is 
the beautiful feathery type of the 
Junipers, charming light green 
color with blue gray tinge. If left 
retains a low, spreading form, 
broad and picturesque, while if the leaders 
are staked up, a lovely broad pyramid of un¬ 
usual grace and charm is formed. And too, the 
Pfitzer's Juniper is easily trimmed and when 
planted in the fore ground can very readily be 
kept down to the height desired should they 
grow too rapidly. The tree thrives well in the 
heat of the South as well as the rigorous cli¬ 
mate of the North, an admirable feature in the 
Pfitzer’s that should never be overlqoked. 
1-114 ft-—$1.25 Each; 2 for $2.25; 5 for $5.00. 
114-2 ft.—$1.80 Each; 2 for $3.30; 5 for $7.40.

where, and its ability to withstand drought, puts 
it in a place by itself for planting in the North¬ 
west. 114-2 ft., $2.75; 2 for $4.90; 5 for $11.50.

WATERING EVERGREENS 
A thorough soaking once or twice a week 
is more beneficial than a light watering 
every day. Do not water the tops — except in 
the evening—put the water on the loosened 
soil close to the tree. 
Deduct 25c per tree if not wanted “Balled 
in Earth” trees.
