Juniperus 
The Junipers and Cedars 
A group remarkable for the varied form it 
embraces. Trees of medium heights down to 
the smallest dwarfs are included here, while 
different green, yellow and silvery hues char¬ 
acterize the foliage. Junipers possess remark¬ 
able vigor and thrive in bleak and barren situa¬ 
tions; in poor, stony soils; in low, damp 
ground; at the seashore, or almost anywhere. 
The columnar forms are valued for formal 
effects, or to break the monotonous outline of 
other trees; the trailing ones for rocky slopes 
and sandbanks. Also used in groups, borders 
and for individual planting.

dian Juniper). A low-spreading bush. 50

coppery hue, with bright yellow tips and is 
brightest in full sunlight. It will flourish 
along the seashore or almost any other 
situation, and cannot be too highly recom¬ 
mended as one of the best dwarf golden 
evergreens, as well as one of the most dis¬ 
tinct of all conifers. Excellent for rocky 
slopes and rough places. 50 cts. to $1.50 
each.
