PINE. Pinus 
WHITIL. jP. StrobuS, ^^^'^ 50,000 white Pine, from 2 inches high up to 40 feet, for any pur- 
! 1 pose. It is a new opportunity to do some of the best things with land 
for you and for the future. The White Pine fits Long Island, where it has grown larger and lived longer 
than any other evergreen. At Roslyn, East 
Norwich, Woodbury, Hempstead, immense trees 
remain as remnants of the great forests cut by the 
early settlers. In the Scrub Oak and Pitch Pine 
region where the soil is dry, it grows rapidly and 
spreads aggressively by natural seeding under the 
Pitch Pines. 
Millions have been wasted on Long Island for 
lumber that could have been grown here if the 
necessary foresight had been exercised with the 
skill of Germany and France. 
The beauty of the White Pine is in its cheerful 
green foliage, the tall and massive trunk, the wide- 
spreading horizontal branches, with deep shadows 
between, and the tips glistening like steel-blue 
needles. It is one of the most rapid of evergreens, 
often making over two feet per year. Yet for 
small lawns . and hedges it can.be kept small and 
compact, thick-foliaged to- the bottom by nipping 
out the tip of the leading; shoot of the upper 
branches in May, June or July. 
Privacy for part of a country place is one of 
the essential elements. With the lengthening 
country season that is coming with better transit, 
evergreens are essential. White Pine will form a 
large part of the plantings. Plant a belt from 10 to 
100 feet wide. With a screen belt a small place 
has as much privacy as a larger area. 
White Pine 16 ft. high in our nursery. We offer large White 
Pines in quantity up to 40 feet high.
