2“ JUNIPERS 
E47—AMES JUNIPER (Juniperus Chinensis Ames). A lovely, formal, compact 
Juniper, dwarfish and upright in habit, shading from blue-green to green. 
It was developed by Professor T. J. Maney and introduced by the Iowa State 
College of Ames, Iowa, in 1947. It has a distinct advantage in holding its 
handsome, thick foliage to the center of the tree, giving it an unusual full 
and symmetrical appearance, and requires little pruning. Very hardy. A 
superb specimen evergreen for the foundation setting. Registered by E. S. 
Haber, Department of Horticulture, lowa State.College, Ames, lowa. (AAN 
Register 1). 
It was our pleasure to have 
worked with and to have de- 
veloped a close friendshi 
with the late Prof. T.. J. 
Maney, who was responsible 
for these two new ever- 
greens. We feel deeply hon- 
ored in being the first to in- 
troduce these two fine new 
trees, which will be a lastin 
memorial to the work of Prof. 
Maney as a pesos: and 
also to his hobby dealing 
with ornamentals.

E48—MANEY JUNIPER (Juniperus Chinensis Maney). A 
distinctive beauty — semi-erect, bushy, spreading, 
with a decided bluish cast. It grows as broad as it does 
tall and fills a place all its own between the low and 
tall growing ornamental Junipers. It bears the name 
of the late Prof. T. J. Maney who developed it; in 1947 
it was introduced by the Iowa State College of Ames, 
Iowa. Fine for the medium border, mass plantings, or 
as individual specimens. Tolerates heavy pruning, so 
can be kept to almost any size desired. We are proud 
to be among the first to offer this outstanding ever- 
green. Registered by E. S. Haber, Department of 
Horticulture, lowa State College, Ames, Iowa. (AAN 
Register 2).

E20—AMERICAN ARBOR-VITAE 
(Thuya Occidentalis) 
A great favorite for hedges and lawn groups. When untrimmed, it develops a graceful broad pyramid (see picture on page 9), 35 
to 50 feet at maturity, but shears readily to any height or shape desired. The flat, handsomely carved foliage of deep green covers the 
tree like a mantle. Well used as backgrounds, in landscape groups, trimmed hedges, or as single lawn specimens. Needs lots of mois- 
ture. Plant 2 feet apart for sheared hedge. Turn to page 57 for picture of American Arbor-Vitae hedge. (Special seedling and wind- 
break prices on page 9). : Each 2 4

E21—PYRAMIDAL ARBOR-VITAE 
(Thuya Occidentalis Pyramidalis) 
What beauties they are—classic, slender, pointed trees thickly cloaked in lacy, bright green foliage, never growing too tall or 
bushy. At the entrance or in the foundation planting, they lend rich color the year through; in the garden they give a delightful 
formal touch. 
Our trees have been propagated from an extra select type; the foliage is close and compact, and a bright, healthy green color. 
They naturally develop a shapely pyramid without shearing, seldom measuring over 2 to 3 feet in diameter at the base, with a 
matured height of 12 to 15 feet, but can easily be kept clipped back to any desired height. Ferris’ Pyramids are exceptionally 
fine this season. (See picture on front cover.) Each 2

E22—-GLOBE ARBOR VITAE S 
(Thuya Occidentalis Globosa) ae 
A charming little globe for the foreground—popularly used in foun- ARBOR-VITAE 
dation groups and borders where its lovely round form contrasts de- 
lightfully with the more spreading, informal habits of other types. 
The artistic flat carved foliage of deep green forms a dense globe 
shape without trimming. 3-3!/; ft. at maturity. Our Globes are beau- 
ties, and will work so attractively into almost any landscape setting.

BALLED & BURLAPPED EVERGREENS weigh 65 to 100 lbs. each on 
an average. Until freight service is improved, it is safer to have them 
shipped by express. Should you be located 500 miles or more from 
us, check with your express agent on rates and if you find shipping 
costs will be too heavy on B&B trees, we urge you to buy the smaller 
or medium size specimens, Individually Wrapped.
