THE RED JUNIPER.
J. Barbadensis, Linn.
The red juniper, much more luxuriant than its close relative of the North, is the handsomest juniper in culti vation. Its pyramid is robbed of a rigid formal expression by the drooping of its fern-like leaf-spray. The berries are silvery white and abundant. The wood is used princi pally for pencils. This species grows in the Gulf states.
