Andorra Juniper in summer color 
Andorra Juniper 
(Juniperus horizontalis plumosa) 
HE original tree of this variety was selected from a lot of seedlings be- 
cause of its very distinct fall and winter color. It was found in an eastern 
nursery about 35 years ago. 
We show two color plates of this variety, the one above having the attrac- 
tive grayish green summer color, and the picture at the right showing the 
pinkish fall and winter color, which occurs mostly at the tips of the branches. 
It is low and spreading, seldom reaching more than 15 to 18 inches in height, 
but spreading out for a considerable distance. 
As with other trees of similar habit, the Andorra Juniper is of greatest 
interest and value in landscaping when used in groups, as a border to tall- 
er trees, for covering banks, hillsides, and similar uses. 
Bar Harbor Juniper 
(Juniperus horizontalis) 
HE family of Juniperus horizontalis is a native American low creeping 
Juniper, which is found on sea cliffs, gravel, and even in swamps from the 
coast of Maine to British Columbia, ranging southward into Massachu- 
setts, New York, Illinois, and many other localities. Each locality produces 
some variation of color or foliage or habit of growth, which has resulted 
in numerous named types finding their way into nurseries. 
The Bar Harbor Juniper, the subject of our picture shown at the right, 
is a form of the Juniperus horizontalis which grows wild along the cliffs of 
Maine, in the vicinity of Bar Harbor. 
The foliage is scale-like, soft and flexible and under favorable conditions, 
produces a solid thick mat completely covering the ground. Because of the 
attractive bluish green foliage, this form has de- 
veloped a wide popularity where any need in 
landscaping exists requiring this type of growth. 
Hill Waukegan Juniper 
(Juniperus horizontalis douglasi) 
HIS is another of the large group of creeping 
Junipers belonging to the Juniperus hori- 
zontalis family. It is distinct from the others 
because of its pinkish fall and winter color. The 
original tree was selected from the wild trees 
found growing in the vicinity of Waukegan, 
Illinois, on the shores of Lake Michigan, north of 
Chicago. It was named and introduced to the 
nursery trade by the late D. Hill, who was at- 
tracted to it because of the unusual color of the 
foliage. This tree grows very close to the ground, 
so that the branches will take root, thereby 
spreading over a considerable area when planted 
under conditions favorable to its growth.
