E30—Marshall’s Silver Juniper 
(Juniperus Scopulorum Marshall) 
Elegant, Compact Pyramid of Moonlight Blue. We have 
very fine specimens of this excellent grafted Juniper. Foli- 
age is heavy, branches more upright than most, and it de- 
velops with little shearing a narrow, shapely column that 
is so effective in landscape plantings. 15 to 18 feet at ma- 
turity, but like most Junipers can be sheared and main- 
tained at smaller sizes. Entirely hardy. Considered by 
some as the most beautiful of all upright Junipers. Pic- 
tured on opposite page.

E31-Cannart Red Cedar 
(Juniperus Virginiana Cannarti) 
Deep Lustrous Green, Tufted Foliage is the Distinguish- 
ing Charm of this hardy and very fine evergreen—holding 
its rich color the year through. In evergreen groups it con- 
trasts yet is in perfect blend with the softer, lighter shades 
of other varieties. Great favorite for landscaping, develop- 
ing a beautiful pyramid form. 15 to 20 feet at maturity but 
can be kept sheared to any size. A grand ornamental we 
strongly recommend. Note photo on page 26. j

E32-Dundee (Pyramid) Juniper 
(Juniperus Virginiana Pyramidaformia) 
Beautiful and Shapely Column—one of the finest and 
hardiest of the tapering Junipers for doorstep and founda- 
tion groups. Its feathery gray-green foliage through the 
summer turns in the fall and winter to a delightful plum 
tint. In formal or informal settings, this picturesque pyra- 
mid is a decided asset. 10 to 12 feet at maturity. You will

E33-Steel Blue Juniper 
(Juniperus Scopulorum Steel Blue) 
Wonderful, New, Landscape Evergreen! Thick, hand- 
some, twilled foliage of rich silvery blue covers a very 
dense, shapely cone. Steel Blue shapes up earlier and 
maintains a more even symmetry than any other Juniper 
of this type. 6 to 10 ft. at maturity. Its grand color, superb 
form and moderate proportions, as well as its complete 
hardiness make it a perfect landscape tree. This splendid 
ornamental is pictured on opposite page.

E34-Ames Juniper 
(Juniperus chinensis Ames) 
A Lovely, Formal, Compact Juniper, dwarfish and up- 
right 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 symmetri- 
cal appearance, and requires little pruning. Very hardy. 
A superb evergreen for the foundation setting. Registered 
by E. S. Haber, Department of Horticulture, lowa State 
College, Ames, Iowa (AAN Register 1).

E35-Colo-Green Juniper 
(Juniperus scopulorum Colo-Green) 
New, Beautiful, Dark Green Pyramid. Thick, soft foliage 
covers a narrow, compact, symmetrical pyramid, seldom 
more than 30 inches through at the base, and its rich green 
color is distinctive throughout the year. We consider it the 
best of the new, dark green scopulorums—a grand ever- 
green for the entrance or foundation planting. 10-15 feet 
at maturity when untrimmed. Pictured on page 26.

E36—Taper-Queen Juniper 
(Juniperus Scopulorum Sutherland) 
Shiny Green Cones DeLuxe! We highly recommend this 
elegant new Juniper of unusual symmetry and color. Thick, 
handsome, twilled foliage covers a very dense cone of 
deep shimmering green, in delightful contrast to the blue 
and silver coloring of other members of the Scopulorum 
family. 6 to 10 ft. at maturity. Of supreme importance to 
the entrance, foundation planting and formal garden. The 
photograph on page 26 shows a Ferris Taper Queen Juni- 
per growing in the foreground of a northern Iowa dwelling.

E17 —Pyramidal Arhor-Vitae 
(Thuya occidentalis pyramidalis) 
What beauties they are — classic, slender, pointed trees 
thickly cloaked in lacy, bright green foliage, never grow- 
ing 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 clipped back to any desired 
height. Ferris’ Pyramids are exceptionally fine this season.
