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. Our special French strain Scotch pines 
have a very nice blue-green color which holds well 
in coldest weather. Excellent for ornamental use. 
AUSTRIAN PINE 
Another popular tree for Christmas plantings 
or ornamental use. Will grow well in nearly any 
soil from sand to clay and will tolerate industrial 
smoke and fumes that kill other pines. Needles 
vare dark green and quite stiff. Develops into nice 
ibushy saleable tree in about seven years. 
DOUGLAS FIR 
b 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. Best results 
are obtained in soils that are not too heavy or 
poorly drained. Our trees are of the special San 
Isabel, Colorado, strain that is the best of all 
Douglas fir. 
CANADIAN 
Seedlings 
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. 
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, but in six years an ex- 
cellent compact tree can be produced. 
NORWAY SPRUCE 
Norway spruce has long been a favorite specimen 
tree in northern gardens where its stately beauty 
cannot be excelled. But as a Christmas tree it is 
also outstanding since with reasonable shearing it 
will produce fine compact trees with a nice py- 
ramidal shape. 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. This 
beautiful color likewise makes it a very desirable 
tree for Christmas use, bringing top prices. Gives 
good results in moist, fertile soil and requires 
relatively little shearing. 
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. Only on large parks and estates should it be 
‘allowed to develop into its full magnificent size. But in restricted areas 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.
