JUNIPER (Juniperus) 
Andora Juniper (Juniperus communis 
depressa plumosa). Compact, plumed, 
spreading. More prostrate grower than the 
Pfitzer. During Winter foliage turns to a 
beautiful bronze. 
Canadian Juniper, Golden Prostrate (Juni¬ 
perus canadensis aurea). Especially useful 
where color is desired in a low Evergreen 
planting. 
Canadian Juniper, Prostrate (Juniperus 
canadensis). A rapid growing, prostrate 
Juniper with silvery green foliage. 
Canadian Juniper, Semi-prostrate (Juni¬ 
perus canadensis). An upright type of the 
Canadian Juniper. Desirable as a background 
for the prostrate varieties. 
Cannart Juniper (Juniperus virginiana 
cannarti). Handsome, compact columnar 
habit, with rich, dark green foliage and bluish 
bloomy fruits. 
Chinese Variegated Juniper (Juniperus

foliage in Summer turning to a purplish 
bronze in Winter. Effective for covering rocks. 
Greek Juniper (Juniperus excelsa stricta). 
For foundation planting, for massing or for 
planting singly as specimens it cannot be 
equalled. The plant is of the low growing 
variety, grayish green foliage, slow grower. 
Irish Juniper (Juniperus hibernica). A 
slender, columnar form with glaucous green 
foliage, prim, erect and used largely in formal 
work. 
Meyer’s Juniper (Juniperus meyeri). This

How to Select and Arrange 
EVERGREENS 
Although each class of 
Evergreens differs from all 
others they may be divided 
into groups according to 
their general habits of 
growth. In foundation 
planting, it is well to choose 
those varieties that do not 
eventually become too large 
and have to be removed. 
Tall, upright growers at the 
corners and on each side of 
the entrance with low grow¬ 
ing kinds in front and be¬ 
tween, make a pleasing 
arrangement. 
Group 1 —includes such 
varieties as Firs, Spruces, 
Hemlocks, Cedars, Scotch 
Pine and Austrian Pine. 
Good for specimens on 
lawns, massing in groups 
and for screen planting. 
Group 2 —Takes in the 
upright Junipers and Ameri¬ 
can Arborvitaes. Used for 
background of foundation 
plantings, corners and en¬ 
trances. Junipers and Ar¬ 
borvitaes are also used for 
screens and for massing and 
formal groups. 
Group 3 —These are the 
pyramidal types for founda¬ 
tion planting and formal 
effects. American pyrami¬ 
dal Arborvitae is a good 
example of this group. 
Group 4 —This includes 
dwarf growers such as Globe 
Arborvitae, Tom Thumb 
Arborvitae and Mugho 
Pine. Useful in foundations 
and in formal gardens. 
Group 5 —Includes the 
half-erect growers such as 
Canadian Juniper, Savin . 
Juniper, Pfitzer Juniper and 
Japanese Spreading Yew. 
Good for foundation plant¬ 
ing and to give variety* 
where dwarf evergreens are 
needed. 
Group 6-^The trailing evergreens such as 
Andora Juniper, Gray Carpet Juniper and 
Horizontalis Juniper. Good for banks and rock 
work, for edges and wherever a carpet of 
evergreen foliage is needed. 
Group 3

Group 5 
Group 6 
Side Entrance to Boxwood Gardens. See to Right Row of Crapemyrtle in Full Bloom 
Pfitzer Juniper (Juniperus pfitzeriana). 
One of the best low growing evergreens. 
Semi-erect, graceful, drooping habit, plumes 
of light green touched with silver. 
Prostrate Juniper (Juniperus horizontalis). 
A rapid grower. Wide spreading, covering 
slopes and rocks. Prefers a sunny location. 
Dark green foliage. 
Savin Juniper (Juniperus sabina). A dwarf, 
spreading shrub with trailing branches; semi- 
erect, soft, fine dark green foliage. 
Blue Virginia Juniper (Juniperus virgini¬ 
ana glauca). Upright. Silvery foliage. Rivals 
the Blue Spruce as a specimen tree. 
PINE (Pinus) 
All Standard Varieties 
Austrian (Pinus austriaca). The native forest 
tree of Europe. Attains 50 ft. height at ma¬ 
turity. Broad crown of dark green foliage. 
Mugho (Pinus montana mughus) (Dwarf 
Pine). Leaves short, stiff and formal, thickly 
distributed in tufts over the branches in a 
crowded way somewhat similar to Austrian. 
Does not grow tall, but spreads out, generally 
assuming a globular form; very dense. 
Scotch (Pinus sylvestris). Like the Austrian, 
its quick, strong growth makes it valuable 
for protective screens; very hardy. 
White (Pi nus strobus). One of our most 
beautiful and most useful native Pines. Grows 
to a height of 80 ft. 
RETINOSPORA 
Retinospora filifera (Threadlike Cypress). 
Very decorative and peculiar; globe-shaped 
when young, but eventually becoming pyra¬ 
midal. 
Retinospora obtusa crippsi (Golden Dwarf 
Retinospora). Compact, dwarf. Ideal for 
rock gardens and spaces where dwarf varieties 
are required. 
Retinospora pisifera (Pea-fruited Cypress). 
Attractive, graceful, upright; foliage green, 
light and feathery, branches pendulous at the 
tips. 
Retinospora pisifera aurea (Pea-fruited 
Cypress). Same as Pisifera except with 
golden tipped foliage. 
Retinospora plumosa (Plumelike Cypress). 
A rapid growing variety, with exquisite dark 
green foliage, the ends of the limbs drooping; 
dense, conical; foliage; soft and light, of deep 
shades. 
Retinospora squarrosa veitchi. Bluish gray 
Cypress. Beautiful foliage An ornamental 
tree of Japanese origin. 
SPRUCE (Picea) 
All Standard Varieties 
Colorado Blue Spruce (Picea pungens 
glauca). The Blue Spruce which is a native 
of the Rocky Mountains. Has been extensively 
planted because of its silvery blue foliage. 
The color of the foliage, however, varies 
considerably from a greenish blue to a light 
silvery blue, the latter being the more valu¬ 
able; the Roster Blues being selected, grafted 
specimens. 
Norway Spruce (Picea excelsa). One of the 
most widely planted evergreens. Useful for 
screens and windbreaks on account of its 
rapid growth. 
White Spruce (Picea alba). A very hardy 
evergreen; compact, upright. Leaves have a 
silvery tinge, somewhat resembling Colorado 
Blue Spruce. 
YEW (Taxus) 
The Yews are especially useful in landscape 
work because of being subject to dense shade, 
where many other Coniferous Evergreens will 
not succeed. We offer both the Upright and 
Spreading types. 
Japanese Spreading Yew (Taxus cuspi- 
data). Rich deep green leaves. Spreading 
bushy habit. Valuable for foundation plant¬ 
ings. 
Japanese Upright Yew (Taxus cuspidata 
capitata). This is really the typical Japanese 
Yew from which the spreading bush form has 
sprung. Handsome indeed are the broad, 
well filled pyramids so effectively used in 
formal gardens as a lawn specimen. 
SUNOCO 
Rills Red Spider, which is the most common 
enemy of evergreens. Also kills San Jose Scale, 
Rose Scale, Oyster-shell Scale, Pine Leaf Scale, 
Euonymus Scale.
