forests. They are too tall and quick¬ 
growing for small plantings. 
P. canadensis. The White Spruce is a 
very hardy popular evergreen with 
bluish green foliage. Its habit is dense 
while young, but it assumes an open,

ings, but unsuited to small 
areas. When young it makes 
the best possible Christmas 
trees. Botanists now call this 
tree P. Abies.

Pinus 
Pines are the dominating family of 
evergreens. In fact, all evergreens are 
Pines to some people. The family is 
enormous and widely adaptable, most of 
them being huge forest trees suitable only 
for bold landscape effects and reforesta¬ 
tion. There are one or two dwarf forms 
suitable for small gardens which are very 
attractive and much planted. Pines grow 
under almost all conditions, except dense 
shade. 
P. montana Mughus. The Mugho Pine 
is a flat, spreading bush, almost the 
only popular dwarf Pine. It is much 
used for low hedges and for base plant¬ 
ings around the foundations of houses. 
A very handsome little bush and 
selected forms will remain dwarf for 
many years. Occasional seedlings shoot 
up to 8 to 12 feet.

dignified, evergreen tree. Its long, dark 
green needles cover the branchlets 
thickly with a superb plume-like effect.

plenty of room to develop its full pro¬ 
portions.
