JUNIPERS (Continued) 
Juniperus squamata meyeri (Meyer Juniper) 
It has a most unusual color and habit. The leaves are plump, 
pointed and prickly, and of bright, shining blue color. The foliage ap¬ 
pears of different colors when viewed from various angles. There are 
distinct tones of green, white and pinkish-red, making it the most 
striking in color of any Evergreens. It grows in an irregular form, 
as shown in the picture. 
The late Frank N. Meyer, plant explorer for the U. S. Department 
of Agriculture, found this tree in China. The original trees were dis¬ 
tributed by the United States Government. It has also been called 
“Fish-back Juniper.’’ 
It makes an ideal planting for the rockery or around a pool. It 
never fails to attract attention and will prove a source of great inter¬ 
est in your Evergreen plantings. For rockeries, around pools, or in 
groups with other trees it is always conspicuous because of its unusual 
color and shape.

Juniperus virginalis—dark green 
We are growing this interesting tree in three forms, which are offer¬ 
ed below. Specimens were originally obtained from Japan about twenty 
years ago. May be grown naturally in a Sabina shape but by trimming, 
may easily be developed into perfect balls. The foliage is remarkably 
robust and healthy looking, a fine deep rich green color at all seasons. 
This variety was originally known as Juniperus Japonica, but is no longer 
recognized under the name. We can assure our customers this is a va¬ 
riety well worth trial in any section of the country as it is perfectly hardy.
