LAWN AND SHADE TREES. 
The Bhotan Pine. Pinus excelsa . — This variety resembles 
the white pine, except that its foliage is longer and its branches 
somewhat pendulous, but in our Northern States it can not be 
regarded as perfectly hardy. In the southern Middle States it is 
one of the finest among evergreens, and should be freely planted. 
Fig. 28.— Bhotan Pine. 
The Yellow Pine. Pinus mitis . — This is a very handsome 
variety when well grown, but while young its growth is quite 
slow, and on that account it is rarely grown or planted. Its 
foliage is a dark rich green, long and flexible. 
The Austrian Pine. Pinus Austriaca . — The Austrian Pine 
in rich deep soils forms one of the most dense trees of the whole 
pine family. It is of rapid growth, with rich deep blue-green 
foliage, that for backgrounds or masses is admirably suited.
