Trees and Shrubs 



Among the most desirable foreign species may be included 

 Pinus cembra, Pinus halepensis and Pinus pinea (the Italian 

 Stone Pine) perhaps the most picturesque species of the genus. 

 This Pine prefers a sandy soil and a seaside sheltered situation. 



A Group of Pines. 



Propagate by seeds sown, in March or April, from one-quarter 

 to one-half an inch deep (according to the size of the seeds) in a 

 cold frame. When the young seedlings are two or three inches 

 high, they should be placed in nursery rows in the open, ground, 

 and, when from twelve to eighteen inches high, should be 

 planted out in their permanent quarters in Winter.
