Pinus. The Pines 



THE Pines endure a wide range of 

 climatic conditions. They are natives 

 of lowlands and mountainous re- 

 gions, and withstand well the cold, bleak 

 svinds to which they are subjected. They : 

 ire mostly of upright habit, growing 

 apidly, and not particular as to soil. 

 Pines are very ornamental and useful on 

 awns and public grounds. They are so 

 liverse in character that species may be 

 elected for even the smallest area as well 

 IS for vast estates. In groups, shelter 

 )elts or as tall screens their value is 

 Hghly appreciated. 



Some of the varieties, especialjy 

 he White Pine, are splendid for re- 

 oresting. Pinus Banksiana and 

 ome others can also be used for 

 his purpose. 



The state and federal govern- 

 nents are now much interested in 

 his work on the larger areas, but 

 here are many small tracts on pri- 

 ate property that could also be 

 )lanted in this manner to advantage. 



Pinus Banksiana. (S). A native of northern 

 ^rth America. A desirable sort for cold climates 

 nd naturalistic planting or impoverished soil, 

 lender branches forming low open head.

The Banksiana Pine is adapted for reforestry in slightly 

 npoverished or eroded soils. Many a useless tract can 

 i enhanced in beauty and value by starting some of 

 lese Pines in the waste places. 



Swiss Stone Pine. Pinus Cembra. (M). A 

 ardy, slow-growing tree of distinct conical habit, 

 '"' ing grayish blue needles growing three to four 

 I ( lies in length in groups of fives. Makes a beauti- 

 il specimen for places where a tree of medium size 

 wanted. Each Per 10

There is a majesty and a dignity about our 

 native White Pine. The tree grows rapidly and 

 attains these characteristics at about 25 years 

 of age— until that age the branches are usually 

 compacted and the tree of symmetrical form. 

 The small illustration shows the quality of 

 one of our trees dug and ready for boxing 

 prior to shipment. For sizes and prices of 

 our stock see page 20. 



Bhotan or Himalayan Pine 



Pinus Excelsa. (L). The general appearance of 

 this tree is almost identical with that of the better 

 known White Pine. This variety is unaffected by 

 the pine diseases now so prevalent on the older forms; 

 we recommend its more general use. It develops 

 into a handsome tree of somewhat open growth.

 seems equal in beauty to the Austrian Pine. Its 

 general appearance and nature of growth is very
