JUNIPER—Continued 
COLUMNARIS (Chinensis Pyramidalis). Med. <A distinct, 
narrow columnar tree with a decorative blue-green foliage, 
retaining its color well into winter. Needles are sharp and 
swordlike, of a glaucous blue-green color. 
DUNDEE. Med. A new variety, valuable because of its 
compact, pyramidal growth. During the summer it has a 
grayish green color, turning to a plum shade during the 
winter months. This unusual winter color makes the tree 
particularly attractive. Attains a height of about 15 feet. 
See picture below. 
“GLAUCA. Med. This variety is unique because the entire 
young growth is of a silvery blue, which changes to beau- 
tiful bluish green in winter. It never grows very large, 
not over 8 or 10 feet, and it can be kept even smaller 
if desired. 
*KETELEERI. Med. A fairly compact tree of a broad pyram- 
idal habit, with ascending branches. The scalelike foliage 
is rather loosely arranged on the branchlets and is of a 
bright green color. The powdery blue Juniper berries 
borne on some of the trees are of a large size, up to one- 
half inch in diameter. 12 to 15 feet. 
PFITZER’S (Pfitzeriana). Sm. The finest of all evergreens 
for foundation and border plantings. Its great popularity 
is due to the fact that it adapts itself to a great variety 
of soils and is one of the few evergreens that will tolerate 
some shade. As to appearance, it is very graceful. Its low, 
irregular form appeals to most lovers of evergreens. Color 
is dark green with a grayish overcast. Grows to 2 feet 
high and up to 6 or 7 feet in diameter; although, like all
