BERKHAM'S GOLDEN 
CHINESE JUNIPER (Juniperus Chinensis). Variable 
type with green foliage, somewhat silvery. Some 
plants narrow, while others will have broader base. 
Very handsome as a specimen or in landscape plant¬ 
ing. Hardy. Shears nicely. 
PFITZER JUNIPER (Juniperus Chinensis Pfitzeriana). 
One of the most useful conifers. Low, irregular spread¬ 
ing form. Foliage a rich green throughout the year. 
Much used in foundation planting, for facing higher 
plants, on steep slopes and rock gardens. Very hardy. 
COLUMN JUNIPER (Juniperus Chinensis Pyramid- 
alis, Green Column). Slender pyramid, with needle¬ 
like foliage of deep gun-gray color. The aristocrat of 
the Juniper family. Grows very compact and stately. 
JAPANESE JUNIPER (Juniperus Japonica Procumb- 
ens.) A very compact flat growing type. Foliage finer 
than the usual variety. Long trailing branches cov¬ 
ered with numerous short branchlets of glaucous 
green foliage. Lies flat on ground. 
SPINY GREEK JUNIPER (Juniperus Excelsa Stricta). 
Compact, symmetrical, dwarf, cone-shaped Juniper-— 
grayish-green foliage. Easily adapted to urns and 
tubs or as specimens. 6 feet. 
RED CEDAR (Juniperus Virginiana). The well-known 
native evergreen. May be trimmed to any desired 
shape. Its dark green color excellent for formal work. 
These plants are well filled, compact and legless. 
Have been many times sheared and root pruned. 
SILVER RED CEDAR (Juniperus Virginiana Glauca). 
Tall, broad, pyramidal, with spreading branches, and 
soft silvery-blue foliage. May be kept sheared into 
compact form. Fine to use as a broad specimen. 
ELEGANTISSIMA (Juniperus Virginiana Elegantis- 
sima) A fine spreading open type with bright golden 
tips to the branches for use where low spreading out¬ 
line is desired, but not so low as Pfitzer Juniper. 
This is an unusual evergreen with its interesting gold 
and green color. 
There are many other popular Junipers, such as 
Cannarti, Kosteri, Savin, etc. If you will write us, we 
will give you full information about them.

yellow. Most conspicuous of all golden pyramidal 
forms. Retains its branches close to ground. 15 feet. 
BERKMAN'S GOLDEN ARBORVITAE (Biota Aurea 
Nana.) Of compact and symmetrical habit. Very de¬ 
sirable. Foliage yellowish-green, tipped pure gold in 
spring. Almost globular. One of the best of Biotas. 
We have very fine plants in this excellent evergreen. 
BAKER'S PYRAMIDAL ARBORVITAE (Biota Bakeri). 
This type does not take on character until about three 
feet high, when it fills out to form a pyramid, broad 
at base, tapering to a blunt point at top. Stands heat 
and drouth well. Foliage soft, light green. 
BONITA ARBORVITAE (Biota Bonita). (Illustrated on 
page 2.) Dwarf, globe-shaped, dark green. Suited for 
use in urns, at entrance to the porch, or walks, and 
cemetery planting. Very compact.

pyramidal, open growing. Very dark green color. Im¬ 
proves in appearance with age. 15 feet. 
DEODAR CEDAR (Cedrus Deodara). The sacred tree 
of India. A magnificent specimen; lower branches 
sweeping the ground, giving the tree a stately ap¬ 
pearance. Foliage blue-green and feathery. 15 feet. 
ARIZONA CYPRESS (Cupressus Arizonica). Com¬ 
pact, pyramidal growth, foliage silvery-gray. Plumy 
and soft. Fastest growing of the conifers. Very hand¬ 
some; much desired. 20 feet. 
CYPRESS (Italian Worthiana). (Illustrated on 
page 3.) Very superior strain of symmetrical up¬ 
right growth, and much hardier than other cy¬ 
presses. The parent tree on our grounds is twenty 
years old and has never been injured by cold 
when all other specimens were either killed out¬ 
right or severely damaged by the severe cold 
spells we have had every four or five years. 
Young plants propagated from this stock were un¬ 
injured in the field while other stock was killed. 
Every tree is handsome and uniform in its growth.
