EVERGREENS—Continued 
Spiny Greek Juni¬ 
per (Juniperus ex- 
celsa stricta). Growth 
similar in shape to 
Berkman’s Arbor 
Vitae with dark green 
dense foliage of rare 
beauty. 
Waukegan Juniper (Juniperus 
horizontalis douglassi). An inter 
esting creeping juniper. Very low 
and compact, making a dense mat. 
Soft blue color in spring and sum¬ 
mer, changing to rich purple color 
in late fall and winter. 
Andora Juniper (Juniperus com¬ 
munis depressa plumosa). This is 
a very unusual variety, remaining 
close to the ground and in summer 
has a silvery reflex to the otherwise 
gray-green foliage. In fall and win 
ter it turns to a purplish cast that 
is unusual in evergreens. Fine for 
rock work or low planting. 
Barharbor Juniper (Juniperus sabina horizon¬ 
talis). One to 1 % feet. Glaucus green foliage 
creeping along the ground. For rockeries, colony 
plantings and terraces. Especially effective in com¬ 
bination with Pachysandra, very good ground cover. 
Colorado Juniper (Juniperus scopulorum). The 
Colorado Silver Juniper is pyramidal, narrow, com¬ 
pact and symmetrical, with only one stem. Stands 
drought unusually well. 
Meyer Juniper (Juniperus squmata meyeri). 
Three to 4 feet. New and rare. Distinct glaucus 
blue foliage. Retains color throughout the winter. 
Very hardy. Irregular Japanesque habit. Ideal 
for rock garden. 
Juniperus Scopularum Hilli. An introduction of 
the late D. Hill. It is the whitest Blue Juniper 
obtainable. In color and form they are without 
comparison among all Junipers. The silver foliage 
is magnificent. The color is brightest in summer. 
It grows fast, bushy and develops shapely. Does 
well north or south. 
Austrian Pine. Has a deep rich green color. 
The needles are straight, slender and four to five 
inches long. Coal gas and smoky atmosphere have 
little effect on its growth. It holds its color well. 
It is known in some parts of the world as Black 
Pine. Under favorable conditions will make an 
18 inch annual growth. 
Dwarf Mugho Pine (Pinus mughus). An excel¬ 
lent dwarf pine, always in good demand in a high 
class landscape. There is a great difference in 
Mugho pines. Our trees are of the many stemmed, 
true dwarf growing variety. This evergreen is ex¬ 
ceedingly attractive in the springtime when the 
upright new growth gives the appearance of minia¬ 
ture candles covering the entire bush. Deep green 
foliage. Exceedingly hardy. There is a place for 
it in every foundation and low evergreen planting. 
Scotch Pine (Sylvistris) . The rapidity of 
growth, great hardiness and the fact it may be 
grown on all soils has rendered this tree a great 
favorite. However, it prefers a cool gravelly sub¬ 
soil that is well drained and will then form a hand¬ 
some tree. It is inclined more to the picturesque 
than to the beautiful. 
White Pine (Pinus strobus). The greatest of 
of conifers. The crowns of mature white pines in 
mixed forests conspicuously overtop the surround¬ 
Retinospora Filifera (Thread- 
branched Japanese Cypress). 
Spreading, with dark green foliage 
and long thread-like drooping 
branches. 
Retinospora Filifera Aurea 
(Golden Thread-branched Japanese 
Cypress). Similar to the above, 
but more dwarf and with golden 
foliage. 
Retinospora Pisifera (Pea-fruited 
Japanese Cypress). A very popu¬ 
lar evergreen, being of bushy pyra¬ 
midal outline with light green 
Juniper feathery foliage. 
Retinospora Uisifera Aurea (Golden Pea-fruited 
Japanese Cypress). Upright growth with beauti¬ 
ful fern-like, flat branches. The tips of the 
branches are marked with varying shades of yellow. 
Retinospora Plumosa (Plume-like Cypress). Nat¬ 
urally pyramidal and dense in growth; foliage 
plume-like and of an attractive bright green color. 
Retinospora Plumosa Aurea. Same as above, 
except that it has a decided tinge of yellow through 
the year, but brightest in early summer when 
breaking into new growth. 
Austrian Pine 
ing hardwoods. It readily 
adapts itself to both dry 
and moist soils for it is 
found in the poorest and 
driest sand and on steep 
rocky slopes, and also on 
moist clay flats and river 
bottoms.
