GREEN RIDGE NURSERY, MADISON, OHIO 7 
JUNIPERS (Juniperus) 
Hardy, adaptable to a wide range of soil 
conditions. Very few evergreens can en- 
dure poor dry soils as well as the junipers. 
Most junipers require full sun for best re- 
sults. Yearly light trimming on all varie- 
ties preserves full dense foliage. 
PFITZER JUNIPER 
(Juniperus chinensis pfitzeriana) 
3-4 ft. high. 6-8 ft. wide. 
favorite, bushy spreader, still good. 
1 yr. T 4-7” 60c ea., 10 $5.50, 100 $50.00 
2 vr. TT 6-9” 85c ea., 10 $8.00 
HETZ BLUE JUNIPER 
(Juniperus glauca heizi) 
3-5 ft. high, 5-7 ft. wide. Zone IV. Newer 
type, similar to Pfitzer except for lus- 
trous silvery blue color and more rapid 
growth when young. Slightly more up- 
right but still a spreader. 
1 vr. T 4-8” 65c ea., 10 $5.50, 100 $45.00 
IRISH JUNIPER 
(Juniperus communis hibernica) 
6-8 ft. Zone II. Very tall and narrow. 
Subject to pulling apart by snow and 
ice unless trimmed to one leader and 
sheared regularly for compactness. Full 
sun recommended.

Woodwerd Globe Arborvitae 1 yr. T. 
WOODWARD GLOBE ARBORVITAE 
(Thuja occidentalis woodwardi) 
3-4 ft. Zone II. A dense globose plant 
with dark green color, turns bronzy in 
winter. May be maintained quite small 
by shearing. Foundations, hedges. 
1 vr. T 4-6” 50c ea., 10 $4.50, 100 $40.00 
3 vr. TT 5-9” bushy $1.00 ea., 10 $9.00

REDCEDAR (Juniperus virginiana) 
15-20 ft. Zone I or II. Columnar growth 
habit, rich green foliage bronzy in win- 
ter. Exceptionally hardy and tolerant 
of even poor and dry soil. Can be sheared 
to keep it small. Good for tall hedges.

ing type, upturned branches. Deep green 
in summer, rich purple bronze in winter. 
Rock gardens, foundations, terraces, 
steep banks. 
1 yr. T 4-7” 60c ea., 10 $5.50, 100 $50.00 
ARBORVITAES (Thuja) 
Arborvitae will grow almost anywhere, 
but they do best in climates that are 
neither too dry nor too hot. They will 
grow more dense and compact in sun than 
shade. Windswept locations should be 
avoided. 
PYRAMID ARBORVITAE 
15-20 ft. Zone II. Tall, narrow, grows 
rapidly. Shearing will retain smaller 
size and lend greater density of foliage. 
Tall screens, hedges, formal gardens, 
corner plantings. 
1 yr. T 6-9” 50c ea., 10 $4.50, 100 $40.00 
DWARF PYRAMID ARBORVITAE

A new plant grows slowly, probably no‘ 
over 4 or 5 ft. at maturity even if not 
trimmed, and it is hardy at least in 
Zone IV.
