Japanese Red. Pinus densiflora. . . 



This closely corresponds to the Scotch and Pitch Pine. Seems to delight in the 

 sandy subsoil of Long Island. Makes a very rapid growth. You can use big masses 

 of these pines to make a wall of green surrounding part of your property or sub- 

 dividing building plots so they will look attractive for sale. We can make a reduced 

 price on some of these, digging them without balls of earth. You will save 33 

 per cent. We will dig them carefully, and if you keep the roots moist until planted 

 you should have satisfactory results. This statement includes Scotch, Pitch Red 

 and Japanese Red Pines.

Japanese Umbrella. Sciadopitys verticillata. 



This belongs to such a distinct genius that it should not be classed with Pines, 

 but used in the garden the same as Pyramidal Boxwood or Yew. In beauty and 

 interest it is even superior to them. The leaves are 4 inches long arranged in whorls 

 like the ribs of an umbrella.

 a thick mud. Be sure it is not dirty water, but thick 

 mud that coats the roots and keeps them from drying out 



Planting a little Pine. Make the hole wide 

 enough to spread out the roots. Cover with 

 mellow earth and pack with the feet
