Pinus sylvestris (Scotch Pine) 
The well-known tree, though tall, seldom grows straight, and the 
branches shoot out rather obliquely. In old trees the bark is rough and 
cracked and reddish in color, and the leaves are short, pungent, concave 
on the upper surface, convex on the under, and of a pale green color. This 
is the common Pine of Europe where it has been a valuable tree for 
timber and ornament for centuries. It is familiarly known in Scotland 
as “Scot’s Fir”. The rapidity of growth, great hardiness, and the facility 
with which it may be grown on almost all soils, has rendered this tree 
a great favorite. However, it prefers a cool, gravelly subsoil that is well 
drained, and will then form a handsome tree. It always inclines more 
to the picturesque than to the beautiful. We obtain our seed from 
Sweden where the best form grows, exactly suited to American conditions.

Pinus tanyosho (Japanese Table Pine) 
This is really the oddest appearing Evergreen we offer. It has a 
short, stocky stem, about six to eight inches long, from which numerous 
short branches shoot out evenly, forming a rather flat-topped tree. 
Foliage is soft, light green. Introduced from Japan. Some attention to 
trimming and training when small is necessary to grow specimens of 
the character shown in this picture taken in our nursery.
