CONIFERS—continued 
ABIES “grandis nana—A compact and very dwarf form of our 
native Giant Fir. We have grafted plants more than 15 
years old and they are not over 18 inches high and 2 feet 
across, without ever having been pruned. Rounded, dense 
shrub with very dark green, glossy needles, suitable for 
partial, light shade or full sun and a soil with a little 
humus. We consider this miniature, true Fir one of the 
finest conifers in our collection. 3x4, $1.50; 5x6, $2.50. 
CHAMAECYPARIS Lawsoniana Elwoodii—An uncommon Cy- 
press for moderate climates. A gray green, narrow cone 
which is very compact and slow-growing. Our specimens 
of 20 years or so are about 6 feet high. A handsome accent 
plant. 10x2, $1.00; 16x5, $2.00; 20x6, $2.75. 
**Lawsoniana minima glauca—After many years scarcely 2 feet 
high. An elongated globe in form with many flattened and 
twisted ‘’fans’’ of pale, somewhat grayish, scale-like 
needles. 5x4, $1.00. 
*obtusa gracilis—NMore open and slightly faster growing form, 
similar to the next. Very decorative, somewhat twisted fo- 
liage. Pots, $1.00. 
*obtusa nana (Dwarf Hinoki Cypress) —One of the most dwarf 
and compact conifers. Requires 15 years or so to attain a 
height and width of about 15 inches. Attractive, over- 
lapping tiers of dark green foliage ‘’fans’’. Pots, $1.00; 
4x3, $2.00. 
*“pisifera minima—A juvenile form of slow growth reaching 
perhaps 18 inches in height and 24 inches in spread. The 
rounded and flattened plants are green in Summer and 
somewhat bronzy in Winter. Very hardy and durable. 4x5,

JUNIPERUS communis compressa — An upright, exceedingly 
dense, prickly Juniper with blue-gray foliage. A real dwarf, 
making very slender, columnar specimens, not over 21/2 
feet high by 6 inches across at the base in two decades. An 
exclamation point in the garden. Pots, 75c; specimens, 
24x5, $5.00. 
*communis Hornibrookii—A short-needled, gray-green Juni- 

per with prostrate stems, 2 to 3 feet long, and ascending . 
branches to 15 inches. Suitable for hot, sunny positions in 
almost any soil. Extremely rare and probably not offered 
‘by any other grower in this country. Hardy and an excel- 
lent groundcover. 6x15, $2.25. 
*communis saxatilis—A very dwarf form found on Mt. Hood 
and propagated from the original plant. Very slow-growing, 
seldom reaching more than one foot in height and a few 
feet across in time. Intense blue-gray foliage throughout 
the year. A dense plant of such vivid'color it always attracts 
attention. 3x4, $1.00. 
PICEA glauca conica—A pale, grayish-green cone of rather soft 
needles. Our two old specimens of probably some 20 odd 
years are only 5 feet high. This handsome Spruce is the 
most popular in our collection. Entirely hardy but must

be protected from Winter sun and wind. 18x6, $3.50; 
20x8, $5.00. 
Abies (excelsa) There are many dwarf forms and varieties 
of the Norway Spruce. We have selected a few of the most 
distinct, interesting, and useful. These give, perhaps, the 
most characteristic ‘“mountain’’ appearance to the rock 
garden. They are as attractive in mid-winter as in Sum- 
mer and when the fresh, light-colored, new growth is con- 
trasted with the old in Spring, the plants are as colorful as 
many flowers. Hardy and will flourish indefinitely, some 
specimens are known to be nearly a century old. 
*Clanbrasiliana—This is the most rounded, making a mound 
of rather prickly, pale green needles on somewhat droop- 
ing branchlets. Our biggest specimen, nearly 25 years old, 
is some 2 feet high and 3 feet wide. 6x6, $1.25; 8x10, 
$3.50; 10x14, $5.00. 
**nidiformis—One of the most interesting, with bright green, 
shiny needles and rigid, brownish stems terminating in 
noticeable clusters of brown buds. The oldest plant in our 
collection is roundish but pleasantly irregular, 2/2 feet 
high by 4 feet across. 7x9, $3.50. 
*procumbens— This variety is the most symmetrical and dark- 
est green. The stiff branchlets seem to radiate from a cen- 
tral point, producing a broadly rounded plant. Our oldest 
specimen, about 25 years, is 12 feet by 3 feet. 7x7, 
$2.00; 8x10, $3.50. 
*repens—The name describes this distinctive kind. A more 
open and sparsely branched conifer with a spreading habit. 
The brownish twigs are sharply contrasted with the green 
needles. Particularly effective when planted beside a large 
rock. Our specimen stock plant is 2 feet high and 3 feet 
across. 6x8, $1.25; 6x10, $3.50; 7x12, $4.50. 

CONVOLVULUS *Cneorum — Intensely 
silvery leaves and large white flowers, 
fading pink, produced in early Sum- 
mer. Full sun and light soil wth Win- 
ter protection in cold climates. A 
handsome, small bush to 2 feet. Not 
invasive! Pots, 75c; field, $1.00. 
COTONEASTER *Dammeri (humifusa) 
—An essential creeping shrub for the 
rock garden. A _ perfectly prostrate 
species with bright, evergreen foliage 
and coral-red berries. Especially valu- 
able for carpeting dry, sunny banks. 
Hardy and durable. Pots, 50c; field, 
$1.00 and $1.50. 
*horizontalis yariegata—A very compact 
and_ slow-growing: variety with small 
leaves of green, pink, and white, which 
makes a very.pretty effect over rocks 
and ledges. An uncommon deciduous 
shrub with gracefully arching stems. 
Pots, $1.00;-field, $1.50.
