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 

 winds to which they are subjected They - 

 are mostly of upright habit, growing 

 rapidly, and not particular as to soil. 

 Pines are very ornamental and useful on 

 lawns and public grounds. They are so 

 diverse in character that species may be 

 selected for even the smallest area as well 

 as for vast estates. In groups, shelter 

 belts or as tall screens their value is 

 highly appreciated. 



Some of the varieties, especially 

 the White Pine, are splendid for re- 

 foresting. Pinus Banksiana and 

 some others can also be used for 

 this purpose. 



The state and federal govern- 

 ments are now much interested in 

 this work on the larger areas, but 

 there are many small tracts on pri- 

 vate property that could also be 

 planted in this manner to advantage.
