Juniperus chinensis Pfitzeriana—Pfitzer juniper 
A robust, wide spreading, irregular growing variety of 
a speces native to the Chinese Himalayas, which originated 
in Pfitzer’s nursery near Berlin and within the span of one 
lifetime has become one of the most important decorative 
junipers in cultivation. Its handsome feathery foliage is 
light gray-green shaded silvery blue throughout the winter. 
It naturally develops as a shrub of medium height, 
spreading about three feet to each foot of height; of broad 
and picturesque form informal in character. Mature spread 
is 15 to 18 feet but it can, be kept to half the size by once- 
a-year pruning. It’s exceptionally beautiful, graceful and 
hardy, one of the best-liked shrub evergreens. 
We haye exactly two pairs of 18-24s, and only 1 pair meas- 
uring 2%-3 ft. this year, and can’t possibly have more of these 
sizes before 1947. Our larger shrubs, from 3 ft: up, are twice 
cut back, exceptionally heavy, high-centered beauties the like 
of which you seldom see. There aren’t too many of these and 
wen they are gone we will be 6 to 8 years developing their

Pfitzer juniper UPRIGHT 
Select Pfitzers grown to stake and especially trained 
for the past eight years to form a broad, informal pyramid 
or columnar shape, for those hard-to-fit “in-between” places. 
They are particularly adapted to spots where an evergreen 
of an exact height is wanted and where that height is to 
be maintained indefinitely, and to further development into 
architecturally solid blocks or cylinders in a landscape de- 
velopment for the “house moderne.” Spaced 5 to 6 feet 
apart it would take only a few years to make the finest 
kind of evergreen hedge, immue to insect pests. Specimens 
with diameters from 24 to 40 inches, averaging 30-inch 
spread: 
3% to 4 ft. $12.00. 
Ave to 5 ft. $16.00. 
4 to 4% ft. $14.00. 
5 to 6 ft. $20.00 
6 to 7 ft. $25.00
