. Ornamental shrubs of the United States (hardy, cultivated). Shrubs. JUNIPER 339. branches and crowded branchlets, the leaves whitish above and distinctly ridged below; Spkeading JuNirER (614)—nana—is an almost prostrate shrub with thickish much-divided branchlets sometimes forming circu- lar patches 10 feet in diameter, the leaves short, incurved, almost cover- ing the stems, often considered a separate species — Juniperus ntoa ; Douglas" Golden Junipbk (615) — canadensis aiirea—is similar to var. nina, but more erect and the leaves longer and narrower, with tips of branchlets golden yellow; Oblong Juniper—obl6nga — is a large shrub or small tree with slender somewhat pendulous branches having longer and more spreading bright green leaves; Weeping Common Juniper — p^ndula— is a lower bush with still more pendulous branch- lets. Virginian Juniper or Red Cedar —Juniperus virginiilna—is the tallest of the junipers, some- times reaching the height of 100 feet, but it has a number of dwarf varieties of which Dwarf Virginian Juniper — dumbsa—is about the lowest, growing into a rounded or pyramidal bush, it has many close-set ascending branches with generally linear bright .green leaves; Weeping Virginian Juniper — p^ndula — has weeping branchlets with many bright green scale leaves; Creeping Vir- ginian Juniper — r^ptans—is bright green with horizontally spreading branches and more erect branchlets. Savin Juniper (610)—Juniperus Sa- bina — is, like the last, one of the native American species, but instead of growing tall is always a low shrub, rarely reaching the height of 10 feet. Almost all of the dwarf forms of Juniperus virginiana are duplicated in this species. The one test Fig. 616. — Golden Japan that will separate them is the very strong Juniper. 3^^^^ to many, disagreeable odor of the bruised leaves of Sabina. Among the named varieties are: Procum- bent Juniper—htimilis —a nearly prostrate shrub with numerous ere
