Rayner’s pines and spruces are excellent for 
Christmas tree plantings. Seedlings that cost only 
a few pennies now will soon be worth dollars. Make 
poor land or hillsides produce a real profit. Ideal 
for erosion control, windbreaks, and hedges. For 
ornamental use plant in a nursery bed and soon 
you will have ideal specimen trees for your own 
use and for sale. 
SCOTCH PINE 
This is one of the best trees for Christmas plant- 
ings since it grows very fast and will reach saleable 
size in five years. Grows well in dry or moist soil 
and makes a nicely shaped tree with very little 
shearing. Excellent for ornamental use. 
AUSTRIAN PINE 
Will grow well in nearly any soil from sand to 
clay and will tolerate industrial smoke and fumes 
that kill other pines. Needles are dark green and 
| quite stiff. Develops into nice bushy saleable tree 
| in about seven years. 
DOUGLAS FIR 
This has long been a favorite tree for Christmas 
plantings since it has a naturally compact type of 
‘growth. With relatively little shearing it will 
\ produce high-grade trees. Needles of Douglas fir 
}are short and have a blue-green color. Our trees 
are of the special San Isabel, Colorado, strain. 
WHITE PINE 
One of the most beautiful of all trees with soft, 
slender needles having a fine light green color. 
White pines grow well in nearly any soil type and 
will give good results in poorly drained land where 
most other pines will not grow. For Christmas 
trees shearing is necessary.

NORWAY SPRUCE 
Norway spruce has long been a favorite specimen 
tree in northern gardens where its stately beauty 
cannot be excelled. Prefers moist soils rather than 
dry land and will make a nice tree in about eight 
years. 
COLORADO BLUE SPRUCE 
A truly magnificent tree with an outstandingly 
different blue-green color. In contrast with other 
evergreens this blue spruce is most unusual and 
thus is highly prized for its ornamental value. Gives 
good results in moist, fertile soil and requires 
relatively little shearing. 
CANADIAN HEMLOCK 
_ For graceful beauty the hemlock cannot be excelled. It produces short, dark green needles which give 
‘its long drooping boughs an almost feathery appearance. Canadian hemlock can be easily pruned to 
form a fine hedge, an excellent background or sheared specimen trees. Hemlocks are very easy to grow 
and do well in sun or shade.
