Spreading 
Evergreens 
Prostrate or spreading Evergreens invariably are used 
in almost every landscape planting. In this group we 
have combined the very low growing prostrate type 
as well as the larger or wide spreading varieties of 
Evergreens. 
Juniperus chineiisis pfitzeriana 
Juniperus chinensis pfitzeriana. Pfitzer 
Juniper. A very hardy, valuable spread¬ 
ing variety, with silvery green feathery 
foliage. Very useful for exposed loca¬ 
tions, borders and terraces.

Juniper for the rock garden. It has low, 
trailing, dark green branches. 
Juniperus communis. Common Juniper. 
A hardy, vase-shaped bush, with its 
leaves dark green above, and glaucous 
underneath. 
Juniperus communis depressa. This is 
a true prostrate Juniper; our plants hav¬ 
ing a spread of 3 to 4 feet, are not over 
15 inches high. Foliage similar to above. 
An excellent plant for the rockery.

mosa. Plumed Spreading Juniper . New

of irregular growth. It has a distinct 
glaucous blue foliage. 
Pinus montana mughus. Mugho Pine. 
A slow growing dwarf evergreen with 
dark green needles. The branches are 
of spreading habit and never attain a 
height of over 3 or 4 feet which makes 
it a very desirable plant for the founda¬ 
tion planting or the rock garden.

set needles. Irregular, spreading habit. 
A very fine slow growing dwarf Yew.

bear brilliant scarlet berries. A beauti¬ 
ful and most desirable evergreen. It 
does very well in the shade and is very 
hardy. 
Tsuga canadensis pendula. Sargent 
Weeping Hernlock. A very rare and 
beautiful evergreen of weeping habit. 
Broad Conical 
Evergreens 
This group is somewhat similar to the types listed under 
Columnar Evergreens, except that generally speaking the base 
of the trees are considerably broader. These Evergreens can be 
sheared so that they will retain their desired proportion in respect 
to the planting.

Cypress. An unusual variety with blue- 
gray foliage of bushy habit with fea¬ 
thery branchlets, giving a woolly ap¬

with green, feathery foliage. It has a 
very graceful habit and is well adapted

plume Cypress. Very attractive as it 
gives color to the planting when grouped 
with other evergreens.
