Red Pine for Windbreaks 
| Reeees of planting Austrian or Scotch 
pines for a windbreak, why don’t you 
plant the red pine. It grows just as fast and 
is not short-lived as the European species 
are in America. ‘There are only three pines 
that have so far demonstrated their ability 
to reach a great height and maintain their 
mature beauty for a long time, and the red 
pine (Pinus resinosa) is one of them. Un- 
like the white pine, it thrives along the sea- 
shore, even in exposed situations and sterile 
soil. It can be easily told from the white pine 
because its leaves are in pairs and the foliage 
effect is darker, more massive. It carries 
two years’ foliage over the winter and bears 
three years’ foliage in summer, whereas the 
white pine has only one in winter. The 
warm red of its bark is another good feature. 
But it is faster growing than the white pine, 
attaining 120 feet and furnishing even larger 
masts than the white pine. It is often, but 
absurdly, called Norway pine, for it is native 
to America and not to Europe. Some say 
an early Spanish traveler mistook it for the 
Scotch pine, which grows in Norway. 
Others say it 1s named after the little vil- 
lage of Norway in the state of Maine. As 
an ornamental tree it heads the hard or 
pitch pines as Pinus Strobus heads the soft 
or white pines. 
THE DARKEST GREEN CONIFER 
“The richest and darkest green among 
all the conifers,” said a lover of evergreen 
plants, “is that of the Irish yew.” Unfor- 
tunately this is not sufficiently hardy and 
long-lived in America. A Long Island 
nurservman thinks he has discovered a 
substitute for it in Taxus cuspidaia, var. 
capitata, once advertised in the old Parson’s 
catalogue, but not described in any book 
we have at hand. 
The Flowering Yellowwood 
VERYONE who has been fortunate 
enough to witness the flowering of the 
yellowwood or virgilia (Cladastris tinctoria) is 
enthusiastic about the spectacle. This hardy 
tree attains a height of fifty feet and on rare 
occasions is covered with drooping panicles 
ten to twenty inches long. The flowers 
are over an inch long, shaped like those of 
a sweet pea, and are white and fragrant. 
Unfortunately this tree blooms only at long 
intervals and not freely as a rule. THE 
GARDEN MAGAZINE would like to know 
whether there is any specimen in this coun- 
try that has a record for regular and profuse 
blooming.
