Junipers Continued 
JUNIPERUS VIRGINIANA CANNARTI. (Cannarti Juni- 
per). A new type that has become one of our leading 
specimens. It has deep rich green heavily tufted foli- 
age, keeping this fine color throughout the winter. It 
can be easily trimmed and thus kept at any desired 
size. Some trees bear shiny blue berries which remain 
on the plant most of the winter. 2-3 ft. $3.00; 3-4 ft. 
$4.00. 
JUNIPERUS VIRGINIANA GLAUCA. (Blue Cedar). This 
well known variety is a popular favorite because of 
its silvery-blue color. When the new growth comes out 
in the spring it is steel blue in color and this sets the 
plant off to a great advantage. It is without any 
doubt one of the finest evergreens to use for an ac- 
cent. 2-3 ft. $3.00; 3-4 ft. $4.00. 
JUNIPERUS VIRGINIANA KETELERI. (Keteler Juni- 
per). A type similar to glauca, but entirely different 
in color. Tall, upright grower and is always a perfect 
conical specimen. Fairly broad at the base and always 
very full and dense. The foliage is fine, and a grayish 
green in color. Often used in place of the more popular 
Pyramidal Arbor Vitae, but is better and should always 
be planted where it may receive partial or full sunlight. 
2-3 ft. $3.00; 3-4 ft. $4.00. 
JUNIPERUS SABINA. (Sabin Juniper). A type similar 
to Pfitzer, but growing not quite so rank, but tending 
to be more vase shape, with the color of the foliage a 
darker green. 15-18 in. $1.75; 18-24 in. $2.50. 
HEMLOCK 
TSUGA CANADENSIS. This beautiful and attractive 
plant is often spoken of as the most graceful of all 
evergreens. Its long branches droop gracefully to the 
ground and bend willingly in a faint breeze. A conical 
tree tapering from a broad base at the ground to a 
long straight thrifty shoot at the top. The leaves are 
rich dark green, having a grayish cast on the under 
side. When trimmed it is a very close and compact 
grower, but when untrimmed is still a graceful and 
nandsome plant. A wonderful lawn specimen or part 
of a group planting. 18-24 in. $1.50; 2-3 ft. $3.00; 
3-4 ft. $4.25.
