CONIFEROUS EVERGREENS, continued 
CEPHALOTAXUS 
Harringtonia. This dwarf evergreen is 
valuable for use in rock-gardens or pools; 
also in shaded locations as a border plant, 
we recommend this fine variety. Its spiny 
leaves are about 1 inch long and cluster 
around the stems somewhat in the manner 
of Podocarpus macrophylla maki. 
CUNNINGHAMIA 
Lanceolata (Chinese Fir). Very decorative 
evergreen tree resembling Avaucaria ex- 
celsa, with horizontally spreading branches. 
Hardy north to Pennsylvania. 
JUNIPERUS 
Chinensis albo-variegata. One of the 
most interesting and beautiful of all the 
conifers adapted to the South. It is of 
compact, pyramidal habit and the tips of 
many of the branchlets are of creamy white. 
Communis. This variety is gray-green, up- 
right in form, with slender, recurving 
branches. Can be pruned in any desired 
shape. Sizes up to 6 feet. 
Communis depressa plumosa (Andorra 
Juniper). See page 2. 
Conferta (Shore Juniper). Spreading, pros- 
trate Juniper with light green foliage, 
rather feathery; will not turn brown in 
winter. Will do well on sandy soil or clay. 
Excelsa stricta (Greek Juniper). A dwarf, 
narrow, compact, upright Juniper that 
does well under widely different conditions. 
Its grayish green color is very pleasing. 
Fine for foundation work. Sizes up to 
Oteet

ful Juniper that grows well in the Lower 
South. The needle-shaped leaves are steel- 
color, while the smaller, scale-like leaves 
are dark green. It is narrow and upright 
in habit. Sizes up to 8 feet. 
Pfitzeriana (Pfitzer’s Juniper). This Juni- 
per forms a low, fiat, wide-spreading, 
irregular head, clothed with bluish green 
foliage. It is one of the most interesting 
and beautiful conifers, and highly resistant 
to drought.

JUNIPERUS; continued 
Sabina cupressifolia (Creeping Juniper). 
A Juniper of trailing or creeping habit; 
bluish green; very handsome. Excellent 
for bordering walks, for planting on sloping 
ground, or for use as a ground cover. 
Sabina Von Ehron (Von Ehron Juniper). 
A horticultural variety of the Savin Juni- 
per. It grows very rapidly and because of 
this fact, has a more open appearance. The 
branches are heavily covered with needles 
of a deep rich green color. A decided 
improvement over the native type. 
Virginiana. The Red Cedar is a tree witha 
dark green head and spreading or upright 
branches. It grows rapidly and is adapted 
to a wide range of soils. It does well either 
in full sun or in partial shade, and is one of 
the most dependable of all the conifers. 
Virginiana cannatrti (Cannart Red Cedar). 
This variety of the Red Cedar is a great 
favorite. The natural 
growth is rather open, 
but by shearing it may 
be grown into a more or 
less compact or formal 
tree, to suit the needs of 
the individual. It will 
grow toaheight of 20 feet 
if left unpruned. It grows 
in pyramidal shape and 
has heavy green foliage 
and bluish berries which 
often grow inclustersand 
are most attractive.
