CONIFEROUS EVERGREENS, continued 
JUNIPERUS 
Chinensis albo-variegata. One of the 
most interesting and beautiful of all the 
conifers adapted to the South. It is of 
compact, pyramidal habit and the tips of 
many of the branchlets are of creamy white. 
Chinensis pfitzeriana (Pfitzer’s Juniper). 
This Juniper forms a low, flat, wide-spread- 
ing, irregular head, clothed with bluish 
green foliage. It is one of the most interest- 
ing conifers, and highly resistant to drought. 
Communis depressa plumosa (Andorra 
Juniper). A dwarf variety also known as 
J. hori ontalis plumosa. Spring foliage is 
silvery green, turning toa silvery purple or 
pinkish shade in the fall. It does not grow 
as close to the ground as some of the creep- 
ing forms, but lifts its branches 15 to 18 
inches. Good for foundation plantings, for 
terraces and for rock-gardens. It thrives 
best in an open, sunny, well-drained loca- 
tion. 
Conferta (Shore Juniper). Spreading, pros- 
trate Juniper with light green foliage, 
rather feathery; will not turn brown in 
winter. Will do well on sandy soil or clay. 
Excelsa stricta (Greek Juniper). A dwarf, 
narrow, compact, upright Juniper that 
does well under widely different conditions. 
Pleasing grayish green color. Fine for 
foundation work. 
Japonica sylvestris. This is a very beauti- 
ful Juniper that grows well in the Lower 
South. The needle-shaped leaves are steel- 
color, while the smaller, scale-like leaves 
are dark green. It is narrow and upright 
in habit. 
Sabina Von Ehron (Von Ehron Juniper). 
A horticultural variety of the Savin Juni- 
per. It grows very rapidly and because of 
this fact, has a more open appearance. The 
branches are heavily covered with needles 
of a deep rich green color. A decided 
improvement over the native type. 
Virginiana (Red Cedar). A tree with a 
dark green head and spreading or upright 
branches. It grows rapidly and is adapted 
to a wide range of soils. It does well either 
in full sun or in partial shade, and is one of 
the most dependable of all the conifers. 
PODOCARPUS 
Macrophylla (longifolia). A beautiful 
upright evergreen tree that may reach a 
height of 40 feet if left to grow naturally. 
The leaves, to 4 inches long, are narrow, 
glossy dark green above, and paler beneath. 
Macrophylla maki. A variation of P. 
macrophylla having smaller, darker leaves 
and usually a more shrubby habit of 
growth. Excellent for hedges, screens, 
specimens, or for the shrubbery border. 
May be had in sheared specimens or 
natural growth. 
RETINOSPORA 
Obtusa crippsi. A dwarf evergreen, rarely 
reaching more than 3 feet in height. The 
drooping branchlets are frond-like, with 
curled foliage of a light golden yellow. 
Obtusa ericoides. This ‘s a beautiful coni- 
fer, dense and compact in growth. Na- 
turally it is an upright grower and may be 
pruned in very narrow, columnar shape. 
The foliage is a dark bluish green. Not 
particular as to soil. 
Obtusa ericoides, Barton Strain. Brought 
to our attention by the late J. O. Barton, 
for many years our packing-house foreman. 
The Barton has a softness of texture not 
approached in its older relative; slower and 
more compact in growth habit than or- 
dinary Ericoides. Good for low hedges 
and borders, keeping its shape well with a 

RETINOSPORA, continued 
Obtusa gracilis (Hinoki Cypress). Com- 
pact, pyramidal form. A rather slow- 
growing Retinospora, with dark green, flat 
foliage. It maintains its rich color through- 
out the year and can be used in any kind of 
planting. Probably the most attractive of 
the Retinosporas. 
Pisifera squarrosa veitchi. A rapid-grow- 
ing variety with silvery blue foliage. It isa 
handsome, distinct conifer, reaching a 
height of 15 to 20 feet, and shears well. 
SEQUOIA 
Sempervirens (Redwood). The famous 
California Redwood that grows to giant 
height in the West! May be grown in 
woodsy locations here in the South. Plant 
one for future generations to enjoy.
