60 LAWN AND SHADE TKEES. 



THE BIIOTAN PINE. Pinus excelsa. This variety resembles 

 the white pine, except that its foliage is longer and its branches 

 somewhat pendulous, but in our Northern States it can not be 

 regarded as perfectly hardy. In the southern Middle States it is 

 one of the finest among evergreens, and should be freely planted. 



Fie. 28. -BHOTAN PINE. 



THE YELLOW PINE. Pinus mitis. This is a very handsome 

 variety when well grown, but while young its growth is quite 

 slow, and on that account it is rarely grown or planted. Its 

 foliage is a dark rich green, long and flexible. 



THE AUSTRIAN PINE. Pinus Austriaca.The Austrian Pine 

 in rich deep soils forms one of the most dense trees of the whole 

 pine family. It is of rapid growth, with rich deep blue-green 

 foliage, that for backgrounds or masses is admirably suited.
