JUNIPERS 
The following evergreens are all of the 
Juniper family. The Juniper stands the 
hot dry weather and hot burning sun 
better than most evergreens. 
CUMMUS JUNIPER —A new ev¬ 
ergreen coming from the North. 
Very hardy, stands both hot and 
cold weather — spreading type, 
growing 24 inches tall. The color 
is vivid green both winter and 
summer. 18 to 24 in. trees, $2.00 
each. 
JUNIPER SPINY GREEK —This beautiful variety forms a tall, dense, narrow, conical 
head, tapering gradually from the ground to a sharp terminal point, and is of fine 
glaucous color. The growth is slow, so that the tree is well adapted for founda¬ 
tion planting, rock gardens, or places where small or dwarf evergreens are required. 
3 to 4 ft., balled, $3.00 each. 
JUNIPER SAVIN (Juniperus sabina) —A low many branched Evergreen, sometimes 
growing 4 feet high. Its branches are spreading and dense. Planted 4 to 6 feet 
apart forms an excellent border to larger evergreens in the background. It is 
desirable as a low in foundation groups. It does well in smoky atmospheres. 
20 to 30 in. trees, $2.50 each; 16-18 in trees, $1.50 each. 
JUNIPER RED CEDAR (Juniperus Virginiana) — This is one of the oldest, most pop¬ 
ular and best known Evergreens. Grows in a compact pyramidal form, stands 
shearing well, and can be made into many shapes. An excellent, tall Evergreen. 
5 to 6 ft. trees, $5.00 each. 
JUNIPER ANDORRA (Juniperus comm. dep. plumosa) —This Juniper has proven a 
most satisfactory low growing tree. It never burns out, and throughout the year 
carries a most attractive color As soon as the frost comes in the fall, it takes on 
an unusually attractive rich purple bronze color, not the brownish cast sometimes 
found in Red Cedar. The spring and summer color is a rich bright green. It 
seldom raises its branches over 18 inches off the ground. It is still quite rare in 
nurseries and stocks are limited. 18 to 24 in., balled, $2.00 each. 
SCOPULORUM (Colorado Jumper) —Refined, compact, narrowly upright with but 
one central stem; variable in color from light blue to green, bluest during the hot

foliage is of an attractive greenish blue. If left alone it forms an attractive low, 
broad, irregular form, but by staking up one of the leaders it takes the pyramidal 
form. An excellent foundation or group Evergreen. 18 to 24 in. trees, $2.00 each; 
2 to 3 ft. trees, $3.00 each.
