JUNIPERUS - Juniper 
The Junipers vary greatly in habit from tall, pyramidal trees to low, prostrate or trailing shrubs. They 
d drought and thrive best in a sandy loam, 
ly ground. They prefer sunny, open situations. 
rather dry, rocky and gravel 
excellent for foundation plantings. 
Chinese Juniper 
This is a rapid growing family of Junipers, native 
to China and Japan. It thrives in hot, dry locations 
and endures the bitter cold. Here we can count on 
the Chinese Juniper making a fine grayish green 
column 15 to 20 feet tall. 
Columnar Juniper 
A slender, tapering spire 15 to 20 feet high, with 
eray-green foliage. Rapid growing, and undoubt- 
edly the best substitute for our native Cedar. Shear 
yearly to induce dense, compact foliage. 
Pfitzer’s Juniper 
A remarkable plant that deserves its popularity. 
Assumes a spreading form with horizontal branches 
covered with dense, feathery, gray-green foliage. 
It will thrive under very unfavorable conditions, 
resisting drought, gas, and smoke. Grows well in 
full sun as well as shade. Its informal habit blends 
well with the pyramidal evergreens, and it is a valu- 
able foundation variety. 
_ chinensis Pfitzeriana compacta Compact P. J. 
Similar in all characteristics to the above variety 
only its spreading branches are closer together and 
more compact. 
. chinensis Pfitzeriana nana Dwarf Pf. J. 
This is also similar to the Pfitzeriana type but much 
more dwarf and compact. 
. communis depressa plumosa Plume Juniper 
A comparatively new variety discovered in Maine 
in 1907. One of the finest creeping forms. The 
branches bend over to hug the ground, forming a 
mat of gray-green foliage. Its main distinction is 
the unusual purplish coloring of the foliage in the 
fall. Maximum height 15 to 18 inches.

Some of the dwarf varieties are 
J. communis hibernica Trish Juniper 
It has a unique habit of growth, being very colum- 
nar and formal in outline. Maximum height 6 to 
8 feet. Suitable for foundation plantings, but 
should be given a sheltered position. 
J. communis suecica Swedish Juniper 
This plant forms an erect, compact spire eventually 
crowing 18 feet high. Should be used where for- 
mality and accent is desired. In the fall its loose 
branches should be tied together to prevent injury 
from the snow and ice. 
J. excelsa stricta Spiny Greek Juniper 
Very neat, compact, upright plant of dwarf propor- 
tions. Good for foundation plantings, window 
boxes, and formal work. Blue-green foliage. 
J. glauca Hetzi Hetz Blue Juniper 
Its spreading habit of growth reminds one of the 
Pfitzeriana except its foliage is a beautiful shade 
of steel-blue and it grows a little more upright. 

J. horizontalis Creeping Juniper 
A fine creeping form, making a velvety mat of gray- 
green foliage. In the autumn it assumes a delicate 
lavender hue. 
Juniperus Chinensis 
Columnaris 
J. horizontalis glauca Blue Creeping Juniper

J. procumbens Trailing Juniper 
A dense, low, spreading form with branches overlapping one another to make 
a neat mass of green. Valuable for rockery and banks as a ground cover. 
J. sabina Savin Juniper 
Dwarf, bushy plant having many branches growing in a semi- 
erect manner from the base 3 to 4 feet high. Looks well on 
rocky banks, sandy slopes and in house foundation plantings.

This is also an improved Red Cedar, making a compact, pyram- 
idal, formal outline reaching up to 15 feet. Dark green foliage. 
Truly an aristocrat of the Juniper family.
