Hill Waukegan Juniper 
Hill Waukegan Juniper 
(Juniperus horizontalis douglasi) 
CATTERED throughout the country 
are numerous forms of creeping Junipers, 
which vary in color and foliage and 
habit. This tree takes its name from a locality 
around Waukegan, Illinois, where it grows 
along the bluffs of Lake Michigan. This is a 
selected type which has soft whipcord foliage 
and an attractive pinkish winter color, as 
shown in the picture above. The summer 
color is bluish green. It was introduced a 
number of years ago by the D. Hill Nursery. 
Like other trees of this type, it is suitable to 
use for terraces, banks, underplantings and 
rock gardens. 
Redeedar 
(Juniperus virginiana) 
NE of America’s best known Ever- 
greens found in a native state over 
almost all of the North American 
continent, east of the Rocky Mountains. This 
is the mother plant from which numerous 
horticultural varieties have been selected, in- 
cluding Dundee Juniper, described on page 6. 
It is excellent for planting in poor sandy 
soil and does best where it has good circula- 
tion of air and full sunlight. The summer color 
is a grayish green, but as the winter approaches 
the tips of the new foliage become pinkish or 
reddish in color. It may be very readily 
trimmed into various forms. 

In foundation plantings in sunny locations, Junipers are appropriate. Upright growing
