PART II. 
CONIFERS 
COMPACT DEODAR (Cedrus deodara compacta). The common Deodar is easily one of 
our finest trees but as it is extremely variable and soon attains great size it is unsuit¬ 
able for ordinary grounds. On the other hand this charming variety is much more 
compact, very silvery and grows only about half as fast. Furthermore, its “leader” is 
always perfectly straight and erect which is so rarely the case in the common form. 
Being grafted there is no variation. Where space is limited it is one of the best out¬ 
door Christmas trees. Balled 7-8 ft. $8:00, 5-6 ft. $5.50, 4-5 ft. $4.00; gal. can 2-3 ft. 
$1.00; pot grown 1*4-2 ft. 75c. 
FOUNTAIN DEODAR (Cedrus deodara fontinalis). A gem for those who appreciate 
the unusual. The most striking variant of the Deodar, it produces a mass of very 
long, slender, drooping, rope-like branches which give it a unique fountain-like appear¬ 
ance. The illustration of the original tree tells more than a longer description. Balled 
6-7 ft. $7.00, 5-6 ft. $5.50, 4-5 ft. $4.50: gal. can 3-4 ft. $2.00; pot grown l%-2 ft. $1.00, 
1-1% ft. 75c. 
FLETCHER CYPRESS (Chamaecyparis lawsoniana fletcheri). This is hardly known 
at all but it is a beauty. A large shrub, not a tree. Foliage is finely cut, lacy and rich 
silvery blue. It does not seem to thrive in full sun here but does admirably in partial 
or moderate shade. Balled 2-3 ft. $3.50; pot grown 1-1% ft. 85c. 
CRIPPS CYPRESS (Chamaecyparis obtusa crippsi). An intensely golden, shrubby 
conifer with rather fine graceful foliage. Its growth is not rapid and it probably will 
not attain any very great size. One of the best of its color. Balled 2-2*4 ft. $2.50; 
pot grown 1-1% ft. $1.25. 
HOLLYWOOD JUNIPER (Juniperus chinensis torulosa). One of our finest conifers 
which thrives well from Canada to the Mexican border. Color is one of the richest 
greens seen in any conifer; growth often narrowly erect or sometimes furnished with 
long branches near the base which can be removed if narrow form is desired. In any 
case the trunk is never like a pole but always gracefully waVy or slightly twisted, 
which is the reason for the varietal name “torulosa”. In Japan where it is known as 
Kaizuka Juniper it is becoming one of their most popular conifers and will unquestion¬ 
ably do the same here Balled 7-8 ft. $8.00, 5-6 ft. $5.00, 4-5 ft. $4.00, 3-4 ft. $3.00; gal. 
can 1-1% ft. $1.00 
MEYER JUNIPER (Juniperus squamata meyeri). Although we have described this 
in previous editions it will do no harm to call attention again to such a splendid new¬ 
comer which seems to be almost universally admired. Like the preceding variety it 
is of somewhat irregular growth which frees it from any suggestion of stiffness. Color 
is a striking blend of gray and silver with a slight violet shading during the winter 
months. Bailed 2%-3 ft. $3.00, 2-2% ft. $2.50, l%-2 ft. $2.00; gal. can 1-1% ft. $1.25. 
DWARF ALBERTA SPRUCE (Picea glauca conica). A delightful miniature tree 
whose growth is so exceedingly slow that it does not make more than an inch or two 
a year. Always retains a slender conical shape and is highly attractive in rock gar¬ 
dens and other suitable locations. Balled 
12-15 in. $4.00, 10-12 in. $3.50, 8-10 in. 
$3.00. 
HIMALAYAN WEEPING SPRUCE 
(Picea smithiana). A rare and very 
striking conifer. Its main growth is 
perfectly erect but the branches and 
branchlets are decidely drooping. Foliage 
is somewhat silvery. Quite rare. Balled 
1-1% ft. $2.00. 
SILVER REDWOOD (Sequoia semper- 
virens argentea). A very rare form of 
Coast Redwood having brightly silver 
colored foliage. Grows as vigorously as 
common Redwood and contrasts pleas¬ 
ingly when planted with it. Gal. can 
3-4 ft. $2.00, 2-3 ft. $1.50; pot grown 
1-1% ft. 85c. 
smooth roseacacia BLUE REDWOOD (Sequoia sempervi- 
Robinia hispida macrophyiia rens glauca). This natural variety is of-
