Andorra Juniper in summer color 
Andorra Juniper 
(Juniperus horizontalis plumosa) 
HE original tree of this variety was selected from a lot of seedlings be- 
cause of its very distinct fall and winter color. It was found in an eastern 
nursery about 35 years ago. 
We show two color plates of this variety, the one above having the attrac- 
tive grayish green summer color, and the picture at 
the right showing the pinkish fall and winter color, 
which occurs mostly at the tips of the branches. 
It is low and spreading, seldom reaching more than 
15 to 18 inches in height, but spreading out for a con- 
siderable distance. 
As with other trees of similar habit, the Andorra 
Juniper is of greatest interest and value in land- 
scaping when used in groups, as a border to taller 
trees, for covering banks, hillsides, and similar uses. 

Bar Harbor Juniper 
(Juniperus horizontalis) 
HE family of Juniperus horizontalis is a native 
American low creeping Juniper, which is found 
on sea cliffs, gravel, and even in swamps from the 
coast of Maine to British Columbia, ranging south- 
ward into Massachusetts, New York, Illinois, and 
many other localities. Each locality produces some 
variation of color or foliage or habit of growth, 
which has resulted in numerous named types find- 
ing their way into nurseries. 
The Bar Harbor Juniper, the subject of our pic- 
ture shown at the right, is a form of the Juniperus 
horizontalis which grows wild along the cliffs of 
Maine, in the vicinity of Bar Harbor. 
The foliage is scale-like, soft and flexible and under 
favorable conditions, produces a solid thick mat 
completely covering the ground. Because of the 
attractive bluish green foliage, this form has de- 
veloped a wide popularity where any need in 
landscaping exists requiring this type of growth. 
Hill Waukegan Juniper 
(Juniperus horizontalis douglasi) 

Bar Harbor Juniper 
HIS is another of the large group of creeping 
Junipers belonging to the Juniperus hort- 
zontalis family. It is distinct from the others 
because of its pinkish fall and winter color. The 
original tree was selected from the wild trees 
found growing in the vicinity of Waukegan, 
Illinois, on the shores of Lake Michigan, north of 
Chicago. It was named and introduced to the 
nursery trade by the late D. Hill, who was at- 
tracted to it because of the unusual color of the 
foliage. This tree grows very close to the ground, 
so that the branches will take root, thereby 
spreading over a considerable area when planted ee : Sr : 
under conditions favorable to its growth. Hill Waukegan Juniper
