Sargent Juniper 
SARGENT JUNIPER. Sm. Foliage is bright green when 
it first comes out, changing to a bluish cast as the season 
advances. It only grows a few inches tall and makes a 
mat 8 to 10 feet across when fully developed. An ex¬ 
tremely hardy type which will do well in poor soil. 
SAVIN JUNIPER (Sabina). Sm. Of dwarf, spreading 
growth. Hardy and thrives well on poor soil; a favorite 
for rockwork. 
SILVER JUNIPER (Scopulorum). Med. A native of Col¬ 
orado. The trees are of a silvery color, of irregular, up¬ 
right growth with fine foliage. It retains its inner foliage. 
STRICTA (Spiny Greek Juniper). Sm. This variety has 
a fine silvery-green color and grows very conical, tapering 
from the ground to a sharp point at the top. Its growth 
is very compact and very slow, which makes it an ideal 
plant for foundation and rock garden planting. 
TAMARISCIFOLIA. Sm. Another low, creeping variety, 
branches trailing along the ground, where it forms a per¬ 
fect compact mat of a light green color. Useful for banks 
and rockeries. 
VIRGINIANA (Red Cedar). Med. Probably the best 
known species of this whole family. The Red Cedar is 
native throughout Wisconsin and the entire Northwest. 
It does well in dry and exposed locations, and is admir¬ 
ably adapted to windbreak planting, being especially valu¬ 
able in mixed plantings. 
JUNIPER—Continued 
CANNART JUNIPER (Cannarti). Med. One of the leading varieties 
of Junipers, having a rich green, tufted foliage. It holds its color 
throughout the winter. An irregular, upright grower, which, if trimmed, 
can be made very compact and dense, and kept at any sue wanted. 
Some trees bear a heavy crop of blue and silver berries, (which hang 
well into the fall and are relished by some birds). A medium sized 
tree, growing to 15 or 20 feet. 
DUNDEE JUNIPER. Med. A new variety, valuable because of its 
compact, pyramidal growth. During the summer it has a grayish green 
color, turning to a plum shade during the winter months. This unusual 
winter color makes the tree particularly attractive. Attains a height of 
about 20 feet. 
GLAUCA. Med. This variety is distinct, because the entire young 
growth is of a silvery blue, which changes to beautiful bluish green in 
winter. It never grows very large, not over 15 to 20 feet, and it can 
be kept even smaller if desired. 
MEYER’S JUNIPER (Squamata Meyeri). Sm. This is a new introduc¬ 
tion of unusual merit. It was found in China. The leaves are pointed, 
prickly, and of bright shining blue color, often appearing to be of 
various colors when viewed from different angles. The form is irregular 
and spreading. It makes an ideal plant for a rock garden or pool, or 
for mixing among Pfitzer’s Junipers planted in masses. 
PFITZER’S JUNIPER (Pfitzeriana). Sm. The finest of all evergreens 
for foundation and border plantings. Its great popularity is due to 
the fact that it adapts itself to a great variety of soils and is one of 
the few evergreens that will tolerate some shade. As to appearance, 
it is very graceful, because of its low, irregular form which appeals to 
most lovers of evergreens. Color is dark green with a grayish overcast. 
Grows 2 or 3 feet high and up 
to 8 to 12 feet in diameter, al¬ 
though here, like all the other 
Junipers, it can be sheared once 
a year and kept to any size 
desired. It is ideal for foundation 
planting, foreground of evergreen 
groups or rockeries. (See picture 
on page 19.) 
“Friendliness” and “ Cheerfulness ” in winter as 
well as summer, is the keynote of this planting. 
The Arbor-Vitaes flank the doorway; these are 
surrounded with lower growing Pfitzeriana Juniper 
and Mugho Pine. An ideal combination—the pride 
of its owner- -that has enhanced the value of this 
property many times what the nursery stock cost.
