Irish Juniper 

Simple plantings are generally the most pleas- 
ing. A few, healthy, well-cared-for trees of 
suitable selection give that pleasing dignity 
and beauty we so much admire. The tall trees 
in this picture are Cannart Redcedar. They 
might be any similar Juniper or Arborvitae. 
In a shady location Hemlock or Yew would be 
suitable. The low-growing trees below the 
window are Pfitzer Juniper

Most foundation plantings are made up of 
trees of contrasting habit; tall narrow trees 
surrounded by lower ones. In this group the 
tall trees should be any form of upright Juni- 
per, Arborvitae or Yews. The low forms are 
such trees as Pfitzer Juniper, Mugho Pine, 
Globe Junipers, Globe Arborvitae, or other 
low forms 
Irish Juniper 
(Juniperus communis hibernica) 
HIS tree is one of the oldest of the orna- 
mental Evergreens, having been widely 
used for years. It is, however, slightly ten- 
der and, except in localities having mild winters, 
it is frequently burned on the tips. It also has 
the disadvantage of being rather easily dam- 
aged by snow. It forms numerous stems which 
grow vertically from the base of the tree. 
It has a striking appearance and makes a fine 
specimen, where trees of small growth and formal 
lines are wanted. The foliage is prickly, whitish 
beneath. If untrimmed, it will reach twenty feet 
in height. Diameter at the base is about eighteen 
inches. 
Swedish Juniper 
(Juniperus communis suecica) 
HIS is a Juniper from the north of Europe, 
more hardy than the Irish Juniper, but 
quite similar in appearance. The foliage is 
light, yellowish- green in color. It generally grows 
to a height of ten or twelve feet, and sometimes, 
taller.
