SYLVESTER—Best by every Test 
JUNIPER—Continued 
SYLVESTER 
SYLVESTER Juniperus chinensis femina 
Coniferous Evergreen. Ter. 1 to 5. 20 ft. Loose pyramid, with irregular 
sprangled, upright habit, branches weeping at the tips, in its natural form. 
The needle-like foliage has a steel-gray color; rather unusual feathery effect, 
grayish in center of plants, light green, with older foliage a rich dark 
green. Thrives in all kinds of soil, wet or dry; withstands heat, drouth, and 
all weather conditions. 
This makes a fine specimen on the open lawn, for the accent points in foun¬ 
dation plantings, in masses and groups. Withstands shearing beautifullv, 
and can be shaped into any form. Its real beauty is in its natural, irregular, 
sideling effect. 
For black waxy or light sandy soil, the Sylvester is the best all around 
Juniper, as it can be used in so many places. It always maintains a dark 
gieen appearance, is easy to grow, and always presents a pleasing effect. 
Should be planted wherever a Coniferous Evergreen is de.sired. 
The Sylvester is highly desirable for use as informal hedges, for screening 
purposes, as it stands shearing readily. It may be used for clipped hedges, or 
sheared specimens are useful in formal gardens.

almost cylindercai, in certain places where a sheared formal effect is desired, 
Tliis is one of tlie best varieties for this purpose.

SYLVESTER 
Trimmed to Standards 
Globe Tops 
We have trained up a block of our Sylvesters, trimming off ail low branches, 
making standards from 2-3 ft. and above this sheared to a round globe top, 
making attractive globes on a standard. For formal effect, these cannot be 
beat, as the hardy Sylvester Blood in their veins keeps them always clean 
and healthy, and thrives in most any soil along the Gulf Coast Territory. 
These also hold up well in tubs for formal effects on steps or foreground 
decorations.

SILVER REDCEDAR 
BLUE CEDAR Juniperus virginiana glauca 
Coniferous Evergreen. Ter. 1 to 6. 30 ft. A dense pyramidal form when 
sheared occasionally. Has many uniform recurved branches. Its silvery color 
is very attractive. Grows well in all classes of soils and climatic conditions. 
Its slow growth makes it desirable for many uses. Attractive when used as 
lawn specimens, and for accent purposes in groups and foundation plantings. 
The richness of color and its fine quaiity commands high respect for its use 
in choice plantings. 
For best results in the South, our stock is grafted on Juniper understocks. 
Our plants are well-shaped, having had long branches tij)ped back, causing 
them to develop into perfect specimens. 
These Junipers may be used to a very good advantage as tall informal 
hedges. 
for screening purposes, or by being cut back, they 
make beautiful 
clipped 
hedges.
