JUNIPERUS, continued 
J. chinensis procumbens. 1 to 2 ft. Plant 
this dense, low evergreen shrub on a bank 
or where a true “spreader” is wanted. The 
dark green leaves are in distinct whorls. 
J. chinensis sylvestris. 12 to 15 ft. Intense 
green leaves that hold their color through¬ 
out the winter, distinguish this upright 
grower. 
J. communis. Common Juniper. 12 to 20 ft. 
A shrub-like tree with broadly spreading 
branches. The foliage is grayish green 
on the under side but is much lighter on 
the upper surface. 
J. communis Ashfordi. Ashford’s Juniper. 
6 to 8 ft. Truly a superior Juniper! Its 
silvery, gray-green foliage does not die out 
or turn brown in the winter. While com¬ 
pact in growth, it spreads outward at the 
tips as its age increases. 
J. communis depressa. Canada Juniper. 3 
to 4 ft. This Juniper naturally develops 
into a vase-shaped plant. It is a rapid 
grower and is excellent for covering banks, 
terraces, and slopes. 
J. communis depressa aurea. 3 to 4 ft. A 
golden form of J. communis depressa often 
listed under the name of J. nana aurta. 
J. communis depressa plumosa. Andorra 
Juniper. 2 to 3 ft. Discovered quite by 
chance in a shipment of wild seedlings of 
Prostrate Junipers from Maine to the 
Andorra Nurseries in 1907, this compar¬ 
atively new variety has proved to be one 
of the most popular types. It is of a close 
trailing nature and its grayish green leaves 
turn an unusual purplish color after frost 
comes in the fall. 
J. communis hibernica. Irish Juniper. 12 to 
15 ft. This columnar Juniper is well known 
and extensively planted throughout the 
country. It is formal in outline since the 
numerous, perfectly upright branches grow 
close together and give the appearance of 
being a single stem. 
J. communis nana. 1 ft. A form of Com¬ 
munis that hugs the ground very closely. 
J. communis Kiyonoi. 12 to 15 ft. This evergreen of the 
Communis type is little known but is a handsome plant. 
It is tall and slim, with grayish green foliage. 
J. communis oblongo-pendula 7 to 8 ft. A broadly 
irregular pyramid with grayish, feathery, drooping 
branches. This is one of the more uncommon Junipers. 
J. communis suecica. Swedish Juniper. 4 to 6 ft. Plant 
the Swedish Juniper where a dwarf, upright form is 
wanted. Light green color and grows in a narrow column. 
J. horizontalis. 3 to 4 ft. An irregular, low-spreading type 
that is good to use for covering banks and terraces. 
J. horizontalis Douglasi. Waukegan Juniper; Gray Carpet 
Juniper. 2f£ to 3 ft. A low, blue-gray spreader which 
takes root all along the stems. It makes a thick mat 
that completely covers the ground around it. 
J. horizontalis Douglasi aurea. 2 to 3 ft. This flat, golden 
form of Juniper is desirable to give color contrast. 
J. Sabina. 5 to 6 ft. The bronze winter coat of this ir¬ 
regular, vase-shaped bush is well known. 
J. squamata Meyeri. 6 to 8 ft. Unusual in outline due to 
its stiff, rugged branches, and in the silvery blue summer 
dress which assumes a lavender sheen in winter, this 
Juniper is truly a gem. It has a coarse texture quite 
different from any of the other Junipers. 
J. virginiana Burki. Burk Red-Cedar. 12 to 15 ft. A 
handsome evergreen which forms a well-shaped column. 
The dense, silver-gray foliage assumes a purple shade 
in winter. 
J. virginiana Canaerti. Canaert Red-Cedar. 15 to 18 ft. 
Another Cedar that is columnar in outline. This plant 
has dark green foliage. It is handsome and dignified in 
appearance and, to appear at its best, it prefers a place 
where it will not be crowded by other plants. 
J. virginiana Donaldsoni. Donaldson Red-Cedar. 12 to 
15 ft. A fine upright Juniper of the Virginiana type. 
J. virginiana glauca. Silver Red-Cedar. 20 to 25 ft. One 
of the best known and liked of the Red-Cedars! It de¬ 
velops into a tall, narrow column that bears distinct 
blue-gray foliage which keeps its good color all the year. 
Juniperus communis hibernica 
Juniperus virginiana Canaerti 
Juniperus virginiana globosa. Globe Red-Cedar. 4 to 5 ft. 
Another dwarf Juniper. This one needs no trimming to 
keep it globe shaped. It is compact and interesting to 
watch as it matures. 
J. virginiana Keteleeri. Keteleer Red-Cedar. 15 to 18 ft. 
A handsome tree with its dark green leaves. It forms a 
compact, fairly thick column whose branches grow right 
down to the base. 
J. virginiana Kosteri. 10 to 12 ft. Although quite like 
Chinensis Pfitzeriana, this evergreen is slightly stiffer 
and more upright. It is, however, of the spreading type. 
J. virginiana pyramidalis. Pyramidal Red-Cedar. 15 to 
20 ft. With some people this is the favorite of all the 
Junipers. They like its bright green color throughout 
the year, its dense columnar form, and its adaptability 
to the shape to which it is trimmed. 
J. virginiana Schotti. Schott Red-Cedar. 15 to 20 ft. 
This Cedar, too, may be trimmed into any desired shape. 
Its branches are of a more upright habit than most of 
the Cedars and the tips of the branchlets are ascending. 
The bright green color is quite striking. 
KATSURA-TREE. See Cercidiphyllum. 
KERRIA japonica flore-pleno. Double Kerria. 4 to 5 ft. 
This shrub is rather difficult to get started here but it 
repays one in beauty throughout the year. The double 
orange-yellow flowers appear in April and bloom inter¬ 
mittently throughout the summer. After the serrated 
leaves fall, the green branches make an especially in¬ 
teresting winter effect. 
KERRIA, White. See Rhodotypos. 
KCELREUTERIA paniculata. Goldenrain-Tree. 20 to 30 
ft. A profusion of bright yellow flowers is borne in 
wisteria-like clusters on this small tree in midsummer. 
KOLKWITZIA amabilis. Beauty-Bush. 6 to 10 ft. Al¬ 
though comparatively new in origin, this shrub is gaining 
rapidly in popularity. Its graceful, sweeping branches 
are covered with myriads of shell-pink to deep pink 
flowers in late spring. It grows vigorously and rapidly.
