Ornamental planting of Pfitzer Juniper 
Lz 
Hill Golden Pfitzer Juniper 
(Juniperus chinensis pfitzeriana aurea) 
HE original tree of the Hill Golden Pfitzer Juni- 
per was discovered in a shipment of small Pfitzer 
Junipers which were sent from the D. Hill Nurs- 
ery Company to a nurseryman customer in Virginia 
in 1923. 
We purchased this tree with exclusive rights for 
propagation for the sum of $1000 in 1928. It has been 
on the market now for several years, and has been 
planted in all sections of the country. 
We offer this interesting tree with full assurance to 
our customers that it is in every way similar to and 
equal to the well known green form pictured on this 
page, except for color. By attention to staking and 
pruning when small, it may be grown in whatever 
habit you prefer to give your Pfitzer Juniper: upright, 
regular spreading form, or low prostrate habit. 
~The foliage comes out a clear canary yellow with 
many of the new stems yellowish. It loses some of its 
bright color during the summer, and during the winter 
it is nearly green. 
Unlike most golden forms 
which are rather weak growers, 
this tree is a strong robust grower, 
adding an interesting note of 
color among other trees. 
Pfitzer Juniper 
(Juniperus chinensis 
pfitzeriana) 
HIS is one of the most im- 
portant ornamental varie- 
ties of Evergreens ever pro- 
duced. It is widely planted 
throughout America, and is an 
important part of ornamental 
landscape planting in every sec- 
tion of the country. 
It originated about 40 years 
ago in Pfitzer Nursery near Ber- 
lin, Germany, and was intro- 
duced to planters by Ludwig 
Spaeth, prominent German nurs- 
eryman and horticulturist. 
The tree naturally grows in a 
low wide spreading habit, but is 
frequently staked up when small 
in nurseries so that it grows into 
a somewhat taller tree. It will 
stand considerable shade and 
crowding, which makes it a great 
favorite for foundation planting.
