careful attention until well established, but 
the effort is well rewarded by the beauty 
of the mature specimen.

JUNIPER . Juniperus 
PFITZER’S JUNIPER. Juniperus chi- 
nensis pfitzeriana. Green foliage slightly 
tinged with blue. Extensively used in 
foundation plantings, for it rapidly makes 
a low, bushy growth. Very robust and is 
easily trimmed. Specimens sometimes 
reach 20 feet in diameter. Ideal for many 
uses, for it stands both shade and full sun. 
The most widely planted of all Junipers. 
IRISH JUNIPER. J. communis hiber- 
nica. A slender, upright-growing variety 
that is always found in formal plantings. 
It has a distinctive bluish green foliage. 
It survives cold weather in southern sec- 
tions, but in the Carolinas and _ farther 
north it should be protected from severe 
winds. See color on page 5. 
SPINY GREEK JUNIPER. J. excelsa 
stricta. Because of its conical habit, its 
dense bluish green foliage, and its slow 
growth, this is one of the finest ornamental 
forms of the Juniper. It has especial value 
in rock-garden work and as a specimen in 
low foundation plantings. Smaller sizes are 
useful in window boxes. 
SAVIN JUNIPER. J. sabina. This variety 
is very hardy and thrives in city smoke 
and other difficult locations. The foliage 
is dark green, on long, spreading branches. 
Grows from 2 to 3 feet high. Makes a 
splendid border for larger evergreens and 
also does well on steep slopes. Not par- 
ticular as to soil conditions.
