WAUKEGAN JUNIPER 
(Juniperus horizontalis douglasi) 
A low, trailing shrub with steel-blue, needle-like foliage, 
the Waukegan Juniper does not become so ragged with age 
as other low Junipers. Its foliage turns deep purple in the fall. 
For the best in prostrate Junipers, choose either the Waukegan 
or Sargent Juniper.

PFITZER JUNIPER 
(Juniperus chinensis pfitzeriana) 
Let’s face it. Here is the most universally satisfactory and

The Silver Cedar is often considered the blue counter- 
part of the rich green Canaert Juniper. The texture and 
foliage is similar but the color is silvery blue. Its upright, 
pyramidal form and beautiful coloring combine to make it 
one of the choicest and best-loved Junipers. Extremely 
hardy, it will withstand much heat and drought, and can 
be kept to desired height by shearing. i a -
