Juniperus Tiorizontalis Douglasii: 
A bluer form of J. Inorizontalis called Waukegan's Blue Juniper. Eap- 
id in growth. Charming gray color which persists in winter. 
Juniperus excelsa stricta (Greek Juniper) : 
An excellent gray green pyramidal form, invaluable for formal plant- 
ing. Very hardy. It moves well, so small specimens can be used in 
low planting and transferred when they outgrow their position. 
PINUS: 
Foliage needle like. Leaves arranged in bundles or tufts of two to 
five with sheath at base. The four native pines are White, Gray, 
Eed and Jersey. 
PINES WITH TWO NEEDLES: 
Pinus sylvestris (Scotch Pine) : 
The foliage is bluish green, the needles flat and twisted; upper trunk 
and limbs cinnamon brown. Small cones. Excellent tree for places 
where a picturesque effect is desired. 
Pinus Virginiana (Scrub Pine — Jersey Pine) : 
Branchlets are glaucous; cone-scales are prickly on back. More spread- 
ing tree than P. BanTcsiana and charmingly irregular. 
Pinus BanTcsiana (P. divaricata) Jack Pine — Gray Pine: 
Branchlets not glaucous. Cone-scales not prickly. Serotinous (closed) 
cones remaining on the tree for 12 to 15 years. 
Pinus nigra Austriaca (Austrian) : 
Needles are stiff, rigid, dull, dark green. Trunk and limbs grayish. 
Buds large with grayish scale. Demands light and air. Male flower 
bud is rounded and flat. Produces winter catkins which often hang 
on beside winter bud. Female bud is white and pointed. Pines are 
wind-fertilized. Most satisfactory because of rapid growth. Can be 
moved when large. 
Pinus resinosa (Eed or Norway Pine) : 
Needles slender and flexible. Bark of tree trunk and limbs reddish. 
Needles soft to touch as opposed to Austrian. Native. Fine tree 
either for cultivation or forestation. 
Pinus montana (Swiss Mountain Pine) : 
Type. Makes a low, flat-topped growth, the width exceeding the 
height. Very useful and emphatic in large planting. 
Pinus montana, var. Huglius (Mugho Pine) : 
Plant shrubby with many spreading stems. Leaves are a good, yellow 
green, short, stiff and stout. Buds coated with resin. Most useful 
in low planting where formal compact effects are desired. Can be 
moved readily. Grows to 4 feet high and spreads 5 feet. 
Pinus densiflora (Eed Pine) : 
Eastern Asia. Cones hold on much longer than Scotch Pine. Its 
leaves are more slender. There is no knob on cone. Bluish twigs, 
but effect of tree is yellow-green. Also has cinnamon-colored bark. 
Pinus densiflora glolosa (Known as "Table Pine") : 
Small, with flat top. In my experience has suffered from heavy snow. 
Worth protecting in winter. 
Pinus contorta (Lodgepole Pine) : 
Leaves curved and twisted. Cones in pairs or clustered, opening when 
ripe or remaining closed for several years. In Montana and other 
Eocky Mountain States it is the tree which occupies the burnt areas. 
It has great facility of reproduction.
