a hardy pine for smaller gardens. It may 

 reach a height of 100 feet ultimately. 



The mountain white pine (P. monticola) is 

 hardy as far north as Massachusetts and may 

 become 100 to 150 feet tall. It resembles the 

 common white pine. The Mountain pine 

 (P. montana) with the varieties pumilio and 

 Mughus, is a hardy, low shrub, suited for 

 planting in clumps or singly. Pinus parviflora 

 is not only a very handsome tree, but because 

 of its dense growth it is also very successful as 

 a windbreak. It is quite hardy and reaches 

 a height of about eighty feet. Pinus Peuce is 

 hardy and recommends itself by its regular 

 and dense habit; it is, however, of slow 

 growth. The white pine {Pinus Strobus) 

 is hardy far north and a rapid grower, reach- 

 ing a height of from 100 to 150 feet. It is a 

 great favourite because it possesses a very 

 regular habit when young. There are a 

 number of dwarf forms. 



The hemlocks constitute quite another class. 

 They are exceedingly graceful trees, not stiff, 

 yet imposing, retaining their lower branches.
