STATE POMOLOGICAL SOCIETY, 



THE AUSTRIAN PINE. 



The Aiistriau Pine (see cut) is a fine hardy tree, having something of the 

 "habit and form of the Scotch Pine, but more dense and shorter in its annual 

 growth ; its form and symmetry is good, and it is therefore well adapted for an 

 ornamental tree. 



Our White Pine, which is known to the Brifish Islands as the Weymouth 

 Pine, is so well known as to need no description ; it should be planted as a 

 back-ground tree, the same as the Scotch Pine ; its fine silvery foliage makes a 

 good contrast when planted in clumps among other evergreen trees. The 

 Balsam Fir, the American Arbor Vita3, Ked Cedar, and Hemlock Spruce, are all 

 natives of our State, and are well known, but are nevertheless well worthy of a 

 place, and for variety are indispensable in a general collection.
