JUNIPER—Continued 
COLUMNARIS (Chinensis Pyramidalis). Med. A distinct, 
narrow columnar tree with a decorative blue-green foli- 
age, 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 pictre on page 19. 
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. 
PFITZER’S (Piitzeriana). 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 the other Junipers, it can be sheared once a year 
and kept to any size desired. It is ideal for foundation 
planting, foreground of evergreen groups or rockeries.
