 exposures. It is usually hemispheric in outline and 

 dark green in color. 



P. nigra (Austrian Pine). Of vigorous, rugged 

 growth. Of regular habit and characterized by 

 heavy dome shaped plumes of dark green, so dark

 whitish winter buds are most attractive through the 

 cold weather. 



P. parviflora (Japanese White Pine). The Japa- 

 nese White Pine with its short leaves give an unusual 

 tufted appearance. The branches are horizontal, some-

 throughout the Northeastern States and useful for 

 ornamental planting. Very hardy and adapts itself 

 to many situations and soils. Does remarkably well 

 in clay. The foliage is abundant and massive. For 

 the landscape gardener striving for bold effects this 

 is a most valuable Pine. 



Boughs 



of towering spruce, a winding driveway give the owner of the property pictured 

 here a sense of seclusion and quiet, achieved only by skillful planning.
