Blue Column 
Chinese Juniper 
T HIS extremely narrow, 
columnar tree was first 
discovered in China by 
the late Frank N. Meyer, plant 
explorer sent out by the U. S. 
Department of Agriculture. 
The tree in this picture is 
one growing in governmental 
grounds near Washington, D.C. 
It shows the true character 
of the tree when it reaches full 
development. Small plants, 
when received from the nurs¬ 
ery, do not have so narrow a 
form, but develop the narrow 
shape as they grow older. 
This tree reaches, approxi¬ 
mately, 20 feet in height when 
fully grown. It is a tree which 
is in demand to fill certain 
needs in landscape work, such 
as formal plantings, sentinels 
or accent trees. It will do well 
in almost any situation except 
in a too shady location. 
The demand for this inter¬ 
esting tree is increasing each 
year. All Hill stock is grafted, 
insuring trees of good thrifty 
growth, with abundant roots. 
Trees propagated by other 
methods are seldom satisfac¬ 
tory.

T HE glaucous blue color, especially 
attractive during the Spring growing 
season, but of striking blue color at 
all seasons, makes it very desirable, adding 
color contrast for landscape work. The 
growth is rapid, the long, slender branchlets 
producing a graceful effect. 
Different methods of trimming produce 
trees decidedly different in appearance. In 
the Hill Nursery, we trim the trees quite 
severely during the early stages of growth, 
thereby stiffening the branches and making
