Juniperus chinensis sargenti SARGENT JUNIPER 1 loot 
A comparatively new evergreen, fast becoming one of the 
most popular low types. Dark green leaves are borne on wide 
spreading branches often attaining a breadth of five or six feet, 
but seldom exceeding twelve inches in height. Its unusual color 
and shape add a great deal of interest to rock gardens, terraces, 
banks and group plantings. Its hardiness further recommends it. 
Juniperus japonica JAPANESE JUNIPER 
Another of the half erect forms that is so appropriately in¬ 
cluded in varied styles of foundation and group plantings. The 
blue-green leaves are borne on wide-spreading branches which 
sometimes grow to twelve feet. It is very vigorous, especially 
when planted in a well drained and sunny location. 
Juniperus sabina tamariscifolia TAMARIX SAVIN JUNIPER 2 feet 
This creeper is very suitable for rockeries and splendid for 
slopes or for framing pools. It lends itself to trimming where con¬ 
finement to a limited space is necessary. The color is sea green. 
OUTSTANDING EVERGREENS NOT PICTURED 
Juniperus chinensis columnaris 
COLUMN CHINESE JUNIPER 20 feet 
This stately evergreen of fairly recent development, grows 
to a height of 20 feet and has a fine columnar or cylindrical form. 
It beautifully adapts itself for formal use, making excellent accent 
plants for doorway or garden entrances where height is needed. 
The grey-blue foliage is densely matted. Its hardiness permits 
its use in most soils and locations. 
Juniperus communis depressa PROSTRATE JUNIPER 3 feet 
You perhaps are familiar with the low growing, half erect 
form which is one of the most needed in landscape plants of small 
areas; it seldom reaches more than 4 feet in height. One of its 
marked advantages is that it will endure hot, dry locations, and 
tolerate shade. For this reason it has been used extensively and 
effectively in many groupings. It is silvery blue-green in color and 
bowl shaped. 
Juniperus communis suecica SWEDISH JUNIPER 25 feet 
This is another of the extremely narrow evergreens very 
much like the Irish Juniper but leaving a broader top. It is effec¬ 
tively used in locations requiring formal accents. 
Juniperus horizontalis CREEPING JUNIPER 1 foot 
If given a sunny steep bank, a rock garden, or an exposed 
evergreen border, no plant will make a more effective ground 
cover than this one. It becomes more than six inches high but 
over a large area can be kept small and in place by clipping 
and trimming. The bright blue-green foliage keeps its color the 
year around. 
Juniperus horizontalis glauca BLUE CREEPING JUNIPER 1 foot 
Radiant gray-blue foliage distinguishes this evergreen from 
the green variety. 
Juniperus scopulorum COLORADO JUNIPER 40 feet 
This magnificent tree of dense, bushy growth, has a silvery 
blue color unlike the blue of any other evergreen. It is not fre¬ 
quently seen in landscape planting because of its rather recent 
introduction, but it has proved itself hardy. 
Picea pungens COLORADO SPRUCE 60 feet 
One of the most highly prized evergreens. It grows in symmet¬ 
rical shape and has bushy branches in whorls about the trunk. 
The variable foliage color (blue-green, silvery white, or dull 
green) is highly decorative and should be used with discretion in 
foundation plantings. As a specimen tree it is one of the best. 
Pinus ponderosa PONDEROSA PINE 60 feet 
This is a heavy and solid looking pine with needles about six 
inches long borne on branches slightly pendulous. Many of these 
long needles hang down to give the tree a handsome, shaggy 
appearance. It is an excellent tree for many locations, especially 
backgrounds. .Continued on page 49. 
Juniperus chinensis pfitzeriana PFITZER JUNIPER 6 feet 
This is perhaps the best known of the spreading evergreens. 
It is much used in front of tall plants, also in any place where a 
medium high evergreen is needed. If left untrimmed it will reach a 
spread of from six to eight feet. 
Pinus montana mughus MUGHO PINE 4 feet 
This pine is very decorative, low growing and prostrate with 
bright green, two inch needles growing thickly on its numerous 
branches. Because of its compactness and dwarf size, it is widely 
used in landscape work for foundation plantings and accent mark¬ 
ings in the garden or at walk intersections. With trimming it will 
hold its compact rounded appearance for many years, which 
makes it highly useful for formal effects. It prefers well drained, 
sandy soil and a fair amount of sunshine. 
Juniperus horizontalis douglasi WAUKEGAN JUNIPER 1 foot 
This is a mat-formed evergreen of the creeping type, growing 
close to the ground and spreading out twelve feet or more. It is 
frequently used on banks too steep to grow grass and as ground 
cover in the rock garden, or as an evergreen border. The soft 
blue colored foliage turns purple in late fall and winter. It does 
best in sunny places having well drained or sandy soil.
