Junipers combined in planting with Rhododendrons 
Junipers 
(,Junipers and Cedars ) 
No family of evergreens is more widely distributed in its 
range, more hardy under unusual conditions, or more generally 
useful to the planter than the Junipers and Cedars. 
Tall-growing Junipers. Are of great value for formal 
planting effects about buildings, in garden work, and for digni¬ 
fied avenues. At the same time they mingle extremely well 
with other native evergreens when used in mass plantings. 
Low-growing Junipers. Their chief value is in mass 
planting for ornamental effects around the base line of build¬ 
ings, for low plantings in the garden, and particularly for the 
natural effects in the wild garden. Excellent results are 
obtained in combination with the yews, rhododendrons, kalmia, 
andromeda and low-growing plants of like character. 
(Cryptomeria Lobbi compacta ) 
For many years the Cryptomeria has been sparingly planted 
through the East, but of late years the variety “Lobbi com¬ 
pacta” has come to fill a long-felt want. Indispensable for for¬ 
mal work and garden planting, where the rich Italian effects 
are desired. It is of rapid growth, with peculiarly heavy foli¬ 
age of deep green, which turns to richest coppery bronze in the 
winter. The foliage is set closely along the branches, and the 
entire habit of the tree is that of a tall columnar form.
