Vase-Shaped Prostrate Juniper 
Vase-Shaped Prostrate 
Juniper 
(Juniperus communis depressa, vase-shaped) 
HIS tree was found in the Hill Nursery 
several years ago. It grows more erect 
than the usual native or seedling type. Its 
growth is rapid with a grayish-green color and is 
attractive at all seasons. The foliage is prickly 
and covers the tree densely. 
Golden Prostrate Juniper 
(Juniperus communis depressa aurea) 
HE golden form is very similar in habit to 
the green variety; the foliage, however, is a 
brilliant golden color, brightest in the 
spring and darkening during the winter. Will 
make a bright spot of contrasting color among the 
darker Evergreens. 
Prostrate Juniper 
(Juniperus communis depressa) 
VERY vigorous growing, 
low spreading plant, having 
many stems. Old plants 
may extend seven or eight feet, 
but it may be easily kept small by 
trimming. It grows very fast as 
compared to other Junipers. Rarely 
grows over three feet high, many 
plants grow even smaller. 
The leaves are sharp pointed, 
gray-green above, silvery white 
beneath. 
The berries are globular, smooth, 
shining, and dark purple in color, 
“azure studded.” 
It grows native over a wide area 
in eastern and northern America 
and varies somewhat in its habit, 
according to the locality. We obtain 
our seed from Wisconsin as we find 
this produces the best type. Planted 
3 to 4 feet apart in a massed border, 
it forms an excellent frontage to a 
group of larger conifers. 

Fine Evergreens around the house 
are as essential as fine furniture in- 
side the house. Few people see the 
inside of your home. You are judged 
by outside appearances. Hill Ever- 
greens make you proud of your 
home, while their attractive beauty 
will appeal to all who pass by
