It accommodates itself to a great variety of soils; it is one of the best for shelter, 
the best large-growing Evergreen to plant near buildings or along streets to be trim- 
med up for shade. But few, if any other trees, unite so many elements of beauty and 
utility as our native White Pine. 4 to 5 feet, 60 cts. each, $5.50 for 10; 3 to 4 feet,
