Bar Harbor Juniper 
(Juniperus sabina horizontalis) 
HE colored picture is a photograph taken 
at the Arnold Arboretum, showing a style 
of planting which is seldom seen except in 
extensive grounds. This picture illustrates the 
color of the tree and general habit. It is, of 
course, also adapted to small areas, for use on ter- 
races or in rockeries and in similar situations. 
As the name indicates, the native home of this 
variety is along the coast of Maine, in the vicinity 
of Bar Harbor. Centuries of exposure to the rock- 
bound and wind-swept coast of Maine make this 
tree unusually rugged. 
It has sturdiness, hardiness and the most 
beautiful greenish blue color, as if it held for its 
own the reflection of the ocean waves. This tree 
brought to your garden will bring with it some of 
the lure of its native home. A true creeper, rest- 
ing close to the ground. American planters are 
indebted to the Arnold Arboretum for the intro- 
duction of this variety. 

sat Bar Harbor Juniper 
— Savin Juniper 
(Juniperus sabina) 






HIS is a low, many-branched shrub, sometimes growing four 
feet in height. It is native in the lower Alps in southern Europe. 
It also occurs in the Pyrenees in Spain, and in Greece, but always 
as a mountain plant. Its branches are spreading, dense, clothed with 
short, straight, tufted branchlets. It has blackish-purple or dark 
violet berries about the size of small currants. The Savin Juni- 
per has certain medicinal properties which have long 
been known. In consequence of this, its plant- 
ing in former times was prohibited in France. 
It forms an excellent border to larger ever- 
greens, and is also desirable as a low tree in 
foundation plantings and for beds of Evergreens. 
Does well in smoky atmosphere. Can be easily 
trimmed and kept small.

(Juniperus sabina von ehron) 
HIS horticultural variety of the Savin 
Juniper is not so well known. It is seldom 
seen in plantings. It is a very fast grower. 
This gives it a more loose and open appearance, 
quite different from the Savin Juniper. Judging 
from the name of this tree, it doubtless originated 
in one of the nurseries of Germany. It has a deep 
rich color, and bears both juvenile and adult 
Savin Juniper. Inset and foreground foliage.
