EVERGREENS—Continued 
Concolor Fir 
Swedish Juniper ((Juniperus Libernica). The 
charming Swedish Juniper is often classed as the 
best of the upright Junipers, being generally hardy 
and growing well in almost any locality. It re¬ 
sembles the Irish Juniper, grows a trifle slower, but 
it is a better and hardier type. Slender but tall, 
with numerous closely pressed, upright branches; 
foliage somewhat feathery, short, and with lovely 
gray-green tints. For an imposing entrance plant¬ 
ing, in combination with other evergreens in the 
foundation planting, or as formal sentinels in the 
garden, the Swedish Juniper is supreme. 
Pfitzer Juniper (Juniperus chinensis pfitzeriana). 
One of the most important evergreens of today. A 
graceful, broad, low evergreen with sweeping fronds 
of grayish-green foliage. Succeeds in exposed loca¬ 
tions, in the full sun and also does well in shady, 
protected places. Some have a bluish-green foliage. 
Adapted to use on the north side of buildings where 
many varieties are not satisfactory. May be trained 
into a low tree form. 
Prosrate Juniper (Juniperus communis depressa). 
Native of the northern woods, and one of the best 
spreading types known. Stays close to the ground 
and most attractive with its silver tips. Grows in 
shady locations. 
Savin Juniper (Juniperus sabina). One of the 
best dwarf evergreens. Its branches are spreading, 
dense, much ramified and abundantly furnished 
with short, straight, tufted branchlets, which are 
well clothed with foliage. Its berries are dark 
purple, about the size of small currants. It forms 
an excellent border to taller evergreens in the back¬ 
ground or may be used as a low tree in foundation 
groups and beds of evergreens. Endures city soot, 
dust and smoke exceptionally well. 
Lawson’s Blue Cypress (Chamaecyparis lawson- 
iana). This variety resembles the general Retino- 
spora group except that the foliage is an attractive 
blue and formed like the Oriental Arbor Vitae in 
vertical fashion. It is inclined to grow a little 
open and the spring growth is as attractive as any 
other blue evergreen offered. 
White Fir (Abies concolor). This is one of the 
hardiest and most beautiful of the Evergreens. 
Cones of purple or yellow; silvery green foliage. 
A rare and exceedingly choice variety. 
Douglas Fir (Pseudotsuga douglasi). A Colorado 
tree of soft green foliage. Resembles the Hemlock 
or Spruce but of a blue cast. Makes a very com¬ 
pact tree and can be used as a specimen or in 
group plantings. 
Canadian Hemlock (Tsuga canadianis). We con¬ 
sider Hemlock the very best of all the evergreens. 
It grows rapidly in the open lawn, in confined 
places it adapts itself to all conditions and if kept 
sheared can be well used as a foundation plant. If 
left to develop naturally it has sweeping pendulous 
branches that are most graceful, and when sheared 
it has a soft billowy appearance that cannot be 
duplicated with other evergreens. The foliage is 
always a very deep green and under adverse cir¬ 
cumstances it is more largely planted than any 
other evergreen. 
Blue Juniper (Juniperus Virginiana glauca). 
This is one of the best trees offered today. It 
grows pyramidal but has graceful spreading 
branches if left untrimmed. When sheared, a per¬ 
fect column may be had. In color a light blue and 
a distinct contrast with any other of this group. 
Chinese Juniper (Juniperus chinensis). It is 
quite columnar, wider at base than Irish Juniper 
and tapering to a decided point. Winter color is 
especially good and it is free of all disease. It is 
destined to replace some of the erect growing ever¬ 
green favorites.
