Nearly twenty different common names have been applied to this 

 pine in various localities. 



The Jersey Pine bears considerable resemblance to the Jack 

 Pine (p. 24), which we shall see next. The two evergreens, one 

 approximately behind the other just south of the southerrunost 

 Japanese Black-Pine are also Jersey Pines. Their twisted and 

 moderately long needles distinguish them. Furthermore, the 

 branchlets of Jersey Pine are glaucous, i.e., they are covered with a 

 bloom or whitish substance that rubs off. while those of P. Bank- 

 siana are not glaucous. The remaining eight small trees here and 

 beyond are Jack Pines. 



YYe now come to a fine collection of Austrian Pines (p. 31), 

 the same as those we have already observed across the path in 

 Section 2. There are eight big specimens here, extending west- 

 ward along the slope and with them are three Scotch Pines. One 

 of these latter is the good-sized orange-barked tree that stands 

 half way along the top of the slope and above the Austrian Pines. 

 Farther along, behind the last of the Austrian Pines, is the second 

 and somewhat stunted one. And a third Scotch Pine is the last 

 tree with the orange-colored bark along the path next to the last 

 of the Austrian Pines. 



The next small tree just west of this last Scotch Pine as well as 

 four other similar ones partly up the slope to the right are Pitch 

 Pines (p. 36), which we should immediately recognize or at least 

 suspect when we notice the needles in threes. 



On the eastern slope of this knoll are several small trees with 

 long needles in pairs. They are 



Pinus resinosa, the Red or Norway Pine 



This is regarded as one of the best of our native eastern pines 

 for ornamental planting. In the Garden, however, it has been 

 very unsuccessful, for the pine-shoot moth has caused consider- 

 able damage to it. Where this trouble is absent the Red Pine is 

 very fine. It is very intolerant of shade and must not be over- 

 topped.
