*obtusa juniperoides compacta—One of the 
fascinating ‘golf ball’’ Cypress that orig- 
inated in the W. H. Rogers Nurseries of 
Bassett, Southampton, England. Our 20 
yr. old specimens are not over 6 inches 
any way you measure them. We have 
a few small specimens to spare, about 
1% by 1% inches, $2.50 each. Somewhat 
smaller size at $1.50 each. 
CHAMAECYPARIS *obtusa nana — One of 
the most dwarf and compact conifers. 
Requires 15 years or so to attain a height 
and width of about 15 inches. Attractive, 
overlapping tiers of dark green foliage 
“fans”. Pot grown plants, 75c, $1.00 and 
$1.50 each. 
*obtusa nana gracilis— A faster growing 
form of the preceding, with the “fans” 
more slender and somewhat twisted. 75c, 
$1.50 and $2.50 each. 
*obtusa tetragona aurea, dwarf form—An 
upright, compact and slow growing form 
with curious, four-angled, golden-yellow 
foliage. Pot grown plants, $1.00 and $1.50 
each. 
*pisifera squarrosa dumosa — A very com- 
pact, gray, globular form with soft 
feathery, greyish foliage. Very slow 
growing and a true dwarf, as 10-year-old 
specimens are less 10 inches high or 
across. 50c, $1.00 and $2.50 each. 
*plumosa minima—A juvenile form of very 
slow growth and dwarf and compact 
habit. Will make clumps 12 to 18 inches 
across in time, but seldom more than 6 
to 8 inches high. One of the hardiest of 
all, withstanding 15 below zero, without 
any protection. 75c, $1.00, $2.00 each. 
JUNIPERUS communis compressa—Fastigi- 
ate miniature form the Irish Juniper, with 
blue-grey foliage. A real dwarf, making

yrs. old. Very hardy. $1.00, $2.00 and 
$3.50 each. 
*communis hornibrooki—A short needled, 
grey-green Juniper with prostrate stems, 
2 to 3 ft. long and ascending branches, 
to 15 inches. Suitable for hot, sunny posi- 
tions in almost any soil. Extremely rare 
and probably not offered by any other 
grower in this country. $1.00 and $1.50 
each. 
*communis saxatilis—Formerly listed as 
communis nana. A very dwarf form 
found on Mt. Hood and propagated from 
original plant. Very slow growing, sel-

height, and several feet across. Intense 
blue-grey foliage throughout the year. 
75c, $1.00 and $2.00 each.

Spruce are admirably suited to the alpine

fect pyramid, but at rate of only 2 or 3 
inches a year. $1.00, $1.50, $2.50 and 
$5.00 each.
