Nursery stock Minnesota Catalogs; Plants, Ornamental Catalogs; Fruit Catalogs; Flowers Catalogs. 46 THE JEWELL NURSERY COMPANY'S conical outline, resembling a pillar of green; very desirable. J. Sabina. Savin Juniper.—A dwarf, spreading shrub, with trailing branches. Thrives in the poorest soils. Very suitable for rock work. This is the finest plant for low hedging that can be found for the Northwest. It is the lowest growing of all the evergreens—never attaining a greater height than four or five feet. The foliage is of a rich dark green, verj^ fine and compact. It never sunburns or turns brown in the winter. It can be sheared very closely and kept down low. On this account it is especially desirable for borders, roads or paths through private grounds or flower gar- dens, etc. It is especially desirable for cemetery purposes—as a border for a lot—for here it can be kept very low by close shearing and simply outlines the lot by a border of living green. It is very easy to make live, as it has many fibrous roots, and with good care given the first year or two in cultivating or mulching, it will take care of itself after that, and only needs pruning every year to keep it in shape. Experience on our own grounds has demonstrated fully its desirability. As a low specimen evergreen for a small lawn, or for a clump or group on large grounds, it is an acquisition, for its rich dark green gives variety to the lighter color of the other evergreens.
