2 EVERGREENS 
ADAMS NURSERY, Inc., SPRINGFIELD, MASS. 
Juniperus virginiana glauca 
Juniperus chinensis procumbens. 
Trailing Juniper 
A dense, low, spreading form with 
branches overlapping one another to 
make a neat mass of green. Valuable for 
rockery and banks as a ground-cover. 
J. communis aurea. 
Golden Prostrate Juniper 
A dwarf, mat-like plant 1 to 13^ feet 
high, with bright golden yellow foliage. 
J. communis depressa. 
Vase-shaped Juniper 
This prostrate Juniper develops into a 
low, broad-topped, vase-shaped bush 
3 to 4 feet high. It is an improved va¬ 
riety over the common Juniper we see 
growing native in New England. 
J. communis depressa plumosa. 
Plume Juniper 
A comparatively new variety dis¬ 
covered in Maine in 1907. One of the 
finest creeping forms. The branches 
bend over to hug the ground, forming a 
mat of gray-green foliage. Its main 
distinction is the unusual purplish color¬ 
ing of the foliage in the fall. Maximum 
height, 15 to 18 inches. 
J. communis hibemica. Irish Juniper 
It has a unique habit of growth, being 
very columnar and formal in outline. 
Maximum height, 6 to 8 feet. Suitable 
for foundation plantings, but should be 
given a sheltered position. 
Juniperus communis suecica. 
Swedish Juniper 
This plant forms an erect, compact 
spire eventually growing 18 feet high. 
Should be used where formality and ac¬ 
cent is desired. In the fall its loose 
branches should be tied together to pre¬ 
vent injury from the snow and ice. 
J. communis suecica nana. 
Dwarf Swedish Juniper 
Similar to the above, only more dwarf 
and slow growing, seldom exceeding 
33^ feet. Good for foundation and rock- 
gardens. 
J. excelsa stricta. Spiny Greek Juniper 
Very neat, compact, upright plant of 
dwarf proportions. Good for foundation 
plantings, window-boxes, and formal 
work. Blue-green foliage. 
J. horizontalis, Bar Harbor. 
Bar Harbor Juniper 
The original plant was discovered on 
the shore at Bar Harbor, Maine. A fine 
creeping form, making a velvety mat of 
gray-green foliage. In the autumn it 
assumes a delicate lavender hue. 
J. horizontalis glauca. 
Blue Creeping Juniper 
A low, prostrate Juniper of dense, 
neat habit, with pleasing steel-blue foli¬ 
age which turns purple in winter. 
J. japonica. Japanese Juniper 
Dwarf, hardy, slow-growing ever¬ 
green, 3 to 4 feet high. Spreading 
branches clothed with bluish green foli¬ 
age. Will stand considerable shade; also 
does well in the hot sun. Makes a sturdy 
little specimen adapted to foundations 
or rock-garden plantings. 
J. Sabina. Savin Juniper 
Dwarf, bushy plant having many 
branches growing in a semi-erect manner 
from the base 3 to 4 feet high. Looks 
well on rocky banks, sandy slopes, and 
in house foundation plantings. 
J. Sabina tamariscifolia. Tamarix Juniper 
This prostrate variety is seldom over 
13^ feet tall. Forms a wide-spreading 
ground-cover with dark green foliage of 
a feathery texture. Should be used on 
banks, slopes, and in the rockery. 
J. scopulorum. Colorado Juniper 
An especially handsome, spire-like 
specimen with decided silvery blue foli¬ 
age. Maximum height, 30 feet. 
J. squamata Meyeri. Meyer’s Juniper 
Introduced from China in 1914. 
Dense, upright-growing variety of un¬ 
usual outline. Foliage is silvery blue. 
Grows 4 to 5 feet tall. Something de¬ 
cidedly different for the foundation 
planting. 
J. virginiana. Native Red Cedar 
This is one of America’s best-known 
evergreens. It is native to the north¬ 
eastern states where its familiar form is 
often seen along the roadside. It seldom 
exceeds 30 feet in height, is columnar in 
shape, and peculiarly fitted to be used as 
a background or screen planting. 
J. virginiana Cannarti. Cannart’s Cedar 
An improved Red Cedar having deep 
rich green foliage. A narrow column in 
shape, of medium size, reaching up to 
15 feet. An annual shearing keeps it 
compact. 
Consult our Service Department for 
suggestions and estimates. We shall be 
glao to help you. 
Juniperus virginiana glauca. Silver Cedar 
Its outstanding feature is the silvery 
blue, frosty hued foliage. Its use in 
foundation or evergreen border planting 
makes an interesting color contrast. In 
shape and habit of growth is similar to 
the other Red Cedars. 
J. virginiana Keteleeri. Keteleer’s Cedar 
This is also an improved Red Cedar, 
making a compact, pyramidal, formal 
outline reaching up to 15 feet. Dark 
green foliage. Truly an aristocrat of the 
Juniper family. 
J. virginiana Schotti. Schott’s Red Cedar 
A formal column of bright, glittering 
green. Holds its color well, making a 
bright contrast. For formal effects it 
should be sheared. 
PICEA • Spruce 
The name Picea comes from the Latin 
word pix meaning “pitch.” Among the 
members of this family are found hand¬ 
some and enduring trees for landscaping 
as well as producing some of the most 
valuable timber in the world. They are 
native to the northern hemisphere and 
like a moist but well-drained soil. Do not 
thrive in dry, sandy regions as well as 
pines. 
Picea canadensis. White Spruce 
A tall, symmetrical tree seldom ex¬ 
ceeding 60 feet in height. Perfectly 
hardy, with dense bluish green foliage. 
P. canadensis albertiana. 
Black Hills Spruce 
Native of Canada and Dakota. 
Sturdy, compact and symmetrical, even 
when young. An especially fine speci¬ 
men tree, also adapted to windbreaks 
and border plantings. 
Picea pungens glauca. Colorado Blue Spruce
