Grove of Austrian Pine near the breakwater at Pratt Estate, Glen Cove, showing their ability to stand salt spray 
Pine, Mugho, continued 
| 4 % Plant at the foundations of buildings, at the 
angles of roads and paths and to feather down 
a group of tall evergreens. 
Scrub. P. contorta. A vigorous, rapid-growing 
species, having the appearance of the Pitch and 
Jack Pines. It makes numerous side branches 
at intervals along each season's growth and, 
therefore, it forms a dense top. Native from 
Alaska southward. 
Jack. P. divaricata; syn., Banksiana. The Jack 
Pine. Grows on the thinnest and driest soils; 
across the bay from Mount Desert we have seen 
it growing in an inch of rock fragments on top 
or granite. In the nursery it is one of the most 
rapid-growing Pines, with an irregular, pictur- 
esque top. 
Bull, or, Western Yellow. P. ponderosa. The 
most important timber Pine of the Rocky moun- 
tains. It resembles the Austrian Pine, but has 
longer, whitish green needles. 
Pinus parviflora. A Pine from eastern Asia that 
is worthy a place in collections of choice trees. 
It is a neat tree of moderate growth and beauti- 
ful blue-green color. It is a good companion to 
the Swiss Stone Pine, being more irregular 
and picturesque in growth. 
Swiss Stone. P. cembra. A tree for small groups 
where a large tree would be out of place. It is a 
compact, symmetrical tree of blue-green color. 
Rocky Mountain White, or Limber. P. Jiexilis. 
A rare species from the Rocky mountains. Hardy 
and of slow growth. 
Bhotan. P. excelsa; syn., P. Nephalensis. The 
Himalayan representative of the White Pine. 
It is a very handsome young tree with luxuriant 
long foliage, making a dense, broad pyramid. 
The leaves are longer than the White Pine and 
hang down. Unfortunately, this Pine was partly 
winter-killed in the winter of 1 90^-04 under the 
same conditions that killed California Privet. 
It is worth planting with other Pines and especi- 
ally on dry soils where the winter-killing need not 
be feared. 
Wk 
Red Pine (P. resinosa) on the estate of Mr. Chas. R. 
Steele, Westbury, L. I. This is one of the most sturdy and 
beautiful Pines, and planters are fortunate that we can offer 
a stock of specimens larger than this.
