House and Garden 
as new rooms are finished^—and they are 
all made with the very latest and most 
modern of accessories—they are fur¬ 
nished with the utmost elegance and 
closed, to he used hardly at all. Mrs. 
Winchester and her niece live alone in 
the great residence, and its doors are 
closed to all hut a favored few. The 
tap, tap, tap of the carpenters’ hammers 
never disturhs them in their cosy and 
luxurious quarters, which are as far 
removed from the sound as if it were 
somebody else’s house that is being 
built. Mrs. Winchester in appearance 
is attractive and scarcely beyond the 
prime of life. In business she is shrewd, 
and socially very exclusive.” 
VARIATIONS IN JUNIPERS 
j /^UR common red cedar, Juniperits 
Virgimana, grows practically over 
I all of our country. But its character 
I changes according to the climate it 
meets with, and this is why there are some 
dozen or more Junipers under different 
names, all of which are but variations 
of Virginiana. It is right that they 
should bear different names, for those 
who know the red cedar of Pennsylvania, 
and then see its representative in 
New Mexico, would hardly credit that 
climate had caused them to appear so 
widely dissimilar. These remarks are 
suggested by having seen lately the 
seeds of ‘Juniperus Virginiana from 
Utah. 
These berries are almost of the size of 
small marbles, and there is no wonder 
it passes under the name of Juniperus 
j Utahense. In Wisconsin there is a juni- 
] per which nurserymen sell as sabina, 
I but it is not sabina but a dwarf form of 
■ the common juniper, Juniperus corn- 
I mums, and goes under the name of 
i Juniperus prostrata. Sabina has foliage 
more like that of the red cedar, and one 
would fancy it a variety of the latter were 
it not that it is counted as a distinct 
! species and from Europe. — Florists'
