Moss Retinospora 
CHAMAECYPARIS, continued 
MOSS RETINOSPORA. C. pisifera squar- 
rosa veitchi. The foliage of this variety 
has a bluish gray color, quite distinctive in 
evergreen plantings. It should be given 
careful attention until well established, but 
the effort is well rewarded by the beauty 
of the mature specimen. 
CRYPTOMERIA 
JAPANESE CEDAR. Cryptomeria japon- 
ica. A large evergreen which in growth 
resembles the Norfolk Island Pine, and 
eventually develops into a tree of distinct 
pyramidal habit. Grows rapidly and is 
hardy over the southern portion of the 
United States. 
CUNNINGHAMIA 
CHINA FIR. Cunninghamia lanceolata. 
A large evergreen w, ich is extremely useful 
in background plantings, where its form 
sets off to best advantage the lower speci¬ 
mens. Rapid grower, often reaching a 
height of 35 feet. 
Write us about your planting problems. We 
believe we can offer suggestions of value 
CUPRESSUS . Cypress 
ITALIAN CYPRESS. Cupressus semper- 
virens. A tall, slender tree that resembles 
a narrow green column. Because of this 
form it is valuable in landscape plantings. 
Grows to 25 to 30 feet high. 
JUNIPER . Juniperus 
PFITZER’S JUNIPER. Juniperus chinen- 
sis pfitzeriana. Tall and slender in habit 
of growth, often reaching 20 feet in height. 
Of distinct value in formal plantings, or as 
a single specimen to give height to the 
landscape plan. See color on page 4. 
COLUMN CHINESE JUNIPER. J. 
chinensis pyramidalis. This Juniper 
has a narrow, columnar habit of growth 
which, combined with its hardiness, makes 
it especially valuable in formal plantings 
or as single specimens. At maturity it 
often reaches 20 feet in height. 
IRISH JUNIPER. J. communis hiber- 
nica. A slender, upright-growing variety 
that is always found in formal plantings. 
It has a distinctive bluish green foliage. 
It survives cold weather in southern sec¬ 
tions, but in the Carolinas and farther 
north it should be protected from severe 
winds. See color on page 5. 
SPINY GREEK JUNIPER. J. excelsa 
stricta. Because of its conical habit, its 
dense bluish green foliage, and its slow 
growth, this is one of the finest ornamental 
forms of the Juniper. It has especial value 
in rock-garden work and as a specimen in 
low foundation plantings. 
VARIEGATED GREEK JUNIPER. J. 
excelsa stricta variegata. Similar to the 
Spiny Greek Juniper but has a considerable 
amount of golden green foliage which 
makes it attractive in foundation plantings. 
Seldom more than 10 feet high. 
SAVIN JUNIPER. J. sabina. This variety 
is very hardy and thrives in city smoke 
and other difficult locations. The foliage 
is dark green, on long, spreading branches. 
Grows from 2 to 3 feet high. 
SPRUCE . Picea 
NORWAY SPRUCE. Picea excelsa. One 
of the most outstanding evergreens used in 
landscape work. Perfectly hardy in every 
portion of the country and readily adapts 
itself to climate and soil. It is tall, regularly 
branched, with dark green foliage, grows 
rapidly, and is adapted to windbreaks or 
screens. See color on page 5. 
“It’s not a Home until it’s Planted” is good, 
hard, common sense. Trees, shrubs, and flower¬ 
ing plants add to the actual value of the property 
as well as make it more comfortable and at¬ 
tractive to the family. You will find some plant¬ 
ing helps on pages 30 and 31, or you may write 
us for definite suggestions.
