In recent years the "red cedar chest" has won its way to a special place in the modern home. The leaves are of two kinds, namely, scale-shaped and awl- shaped.

The bark is very thin, reddish-brown, shallowly furrowed, peels off in long shred-like strips. The wood is soft, strong, of even texture, works easily. The heartwood is distinctly red and the sapwood white. This color combination and its pronounced fragrance, sup- posed to ward off moth and other insects, account for its wide use for clothes chests, closets and for interior wood- work. The Red Cedar, also called Cedar and Juniper, is found from Nova Scotia to South Dakota, south to Florida and Texas. This tree is generally distributed throughout Ohio, but is rather rare in the north and north-central part of the State. It is abundant on the limestone soils of southwestern Ohio. This tree grows slowly, needs plenty of sunlight, and rarely exceeds 50 feet in height and 18 inches in di- ameter in the northern part of its range. It has a distinctive narrow, conical crown when growing in the open. The Common Juniper—Juniperus communis, Linnaeus— is closely related to the Red Cedar. It is a small, shrubby tree, with a wide range of ornamental varieties, planted widely for ornamental purposes. Its awl-shaped leaves occur regularly in 3's and do not extend along the Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for rea
