Retmospora squarrosa veitchi 
Juniperus 
J. excelsa stricta. 5'-G'. Spiny Greek Juniper. These 
blue gray “blobs” are so often seen in window boxes, 
21 formal gardens, and mixed foundation plantings. 
Useful. 
J. sabina. 5'-6'. Savin. A vase shaped bush of dark 
22 green, dependable in exposures. 
J. squamata. Y-2'. Scaly Leaf Juniper. Stays “good” 
indefinitely and is one of the finest Winter evergreens. 
23 All the creeping branches are well clothed with scaly, 
gray green foliage equally resistant to heat or cold. 
J. squamata meyeri. 6'-8'. Meyer Juniper. Stiff 
branches and large “leaves” tend to create a coarse, 
24 rugged texture quite unlike any other plant. Although 
bushy, it has an interesting outline and the silvery 
blue Summer dress becomes tinged with a lavender 
sheen as Winter approaches. 
J. virginiana. 30'-50'. Redcedar. Our well loved, 
25 native Cedar which has given rise to all the following 
variations. An occasional trimming will improve it. 
J. virginiana cannarti. 20'-25'. Cannart Cedar. Like 
a true aristocrat this handsome Cedar is unobtrusively 
26 dignified and dislikes any fussy trimming that would 
interfere with' its natural character. Columnar in out¬ 
line, the surface is broken by short, lateral branches, 
making black shadow spots on a very deep green 
mantle of foliage. In Autumn when the crop of steely 
blue berries are in evidence, it is almost gay enough 
to be saved for Christmas decoration. 
J. virginiana glauca. 20'-25'. Silver Redcedar. One 
might call this the blue counterpart of the Cannart 
27 Cedar. The whole irregular column is richly clad in 
a blue gray mantle which among other evergreens 
gives a frosted effect. 
J. virginiana schotti. 20'-25'. Schott Redcedar. More 
formal and lighter green compact than Cannart’s 
28 Cedar, and with occasional trimming makes a hand¬ 
some column.

Chamaecyparis 
C. pisifera plumosa flavescens. 8' spread. Wbiteleaf 
14 Cypress. Dwarf in habit, of a sulphur yellow color. 
Makes a fine foundation specimen. 
C. squarrosa veitchi. 25'-30'. Veitch Moss Cypress. 
Which is a remarkable plant. The blue gray foliage 
15 and intricate branchlets combine to make a dense, 
broad, woolly pyramid. Quite a billowy tree in age. 
CRYPTOMERIA lobbi. 50'-60'. Lobh Cryptomeria. 
For this section, undoubtedly the best form. It makes 
16 an irregular column of dark green, which changes 
to a warm, purple bronze in Winter. It wears so well 
that it has been most effectively used to replace native 
Cedars that succumb to civilization. It is difficult to 
imagine any tree that has more dignity and inherent 
character than this. An avenue of large trees creates 
a most inspiring effect. A warm, moist, well-drained 
spot is ideal; grows late in Fall. 
JUNIPER 
JUNIPERUS chinensis columnaris. 20'-25'. Column 
Ch inese Juniper. Rapidly grows into a slender shaft 
17 of gray green. Splendid “accent” plant. An annual 
trimming keeps column compact. 
J. chinensis pfitzeriana. G'-G'. Pfilzer Juniper. 
18 Naturally develops into a low spreading, vase-shaped 
bush, formed by handsome, plumelike branches. 
J. chinensis sargenti. 2'-2f^'. Sargent Juniper. 
Prostrate in habit, this hardy ground cover quickly 
19 forms a mat of bright grass-green foliage in a sunny 
spot. Very hardy. 
J. communis hibernica. 7'-8'. Irish Juniper. Little 
20 spires of green that effectively “break up” an otherwise 
monotonous effect. An occasional piece in rocks is good. 
SPRUCE 
PICEA canadensis. 50'-60'. White Spruce. Seems 
happiest in coldest New England where it naturally 
29 grows right down to the shore line. Forms a shapely, 
compact tree, densely clothed with short, silvery green 
needles. Grows slowly here, compact specimens. 
P. excelsa. 80'-100'. Norway Spruce. Generally 
regarded as more valuable for windbreaks and hedges 
30 than as a decorative tree, although while young the 
dark green, symmetrical pyramid is most useful as a 
Christmas tree or tub specimen. Grows rapidly, well¬ 
shaped plants. 
P. glauca conica. 5'-6'. Dwarf Alberta Spruce. A perfect 
miniature reproduction of a tall forest tree, having 
31 branches crowded into a compact, narrow cone with 
a rugged old look about it. Very thin, slaty green 
foliage makes an exceedingly fine texture. Best where 
slightly shaded. 
P. orientalis. 60'-70'. Oriental Spruce. Graceful, 
widespreading branches sweep the ground, merging 
32 into a central spire which rises with classic outline to 
pierce the sky. Glossy, blackish green needles increase 
its sombre dignity—a picture of aristocratic beauty 
Quite useful in small plantings owing to its slow 
growth and rich color. 
P. pungens. 70'-80'. Colorado Spruce. A bold, native 
Spruce with dull, gray green, thick needles. Quite 
33 symmetrical and handsome when young, but becomes 
picturesque in old age when the lower branches 
disappear. 
P. pungens glauca. 70'-80\ Colorado Blue Spruce. 
From the variable seedlings has been selected this 
34 intensely “blue” form, so popular even in very small 
sizes. Well-shaped.
