The Pines ( Pinus ) 
Red Pine Group 
THE RED (NORWAY) PINE —FINEST NATIVE 
T HE Pinus Resinosa is probably the one most popular evergreen for all 
purposes. It is a native to the Eastern parts of the country and absolutely 
hardy. Its name is taken from the town of Norway, Maine. In forestry, 
it makes valuable timber and quick growth on even the poorest of soils. In large 
quantities we are prepared to quote exceptionally low prices. 
As a specimen, it grows into a tall, spreading, imposing tree, and is very long 
lived. The bark is red. This variety is notable because of its freedom from most 
insect pests. Zone I.

This price is low because the land must be 
cleared this season. It is impossible to buy such 
stock for twice the money in the wholesale 
market. 
Probably no tree in Nature has so much sentiment attached to it for so just 
a cause. The appearance is typical of rugged strength, which the character of 
the tree bears out. Far up on mountain ranges where the snow line commences, 
a few straggling trees battle with the elements. And the last tree of all, twisted 
and stunted, is more often than not a Pine tree. And this same Pine species, 
taken into cultivation and given care and opportunity, becomes a full bushy 
specimen, its soft outline and texture of long thickly bundled needles contrast¬ 
ing pleasingly with every other kind of evergeen. 
THE RIGA (SCOTCH) PINE 
(Pinus Sylvestris var. Rigensis) 
The Scotch Pine (Pinus Sylvestris) has many 
varieties, called geographical varieties. The dif¬ 
ferences are slight with the exception of the 
variety that grows in Finland around the Gulf of 
Riga. This has long been known among foresters 
as a type altogether superior to ordinary Scots 
Pine. 
Where the type grows straggly and with a 
crooked leader, the Riga variety puts up a 
straight clean trunk. The color of branches is 
striking—noticeably reddish. The needles do not 
turn so yellow in Spring as those of the type. 
The Riga Pine also has a much longer life and 
makes a much greater height, up to 80 and 100 
THE AUSTRIAN PINE. IV 
This variety of the Black Pine is perhaps 
the best of the European pines. Properly 
named Pinus nigra var. italica, it is called in 
commerce Pinus Austriaca. It is hardy, fast 
growing and succeeds in a wide variety of 
soil—even along beaches subject to the salt 
spray of the sea. It is much used as a wind 
break on estates near the ocean, but is equally 
adapted for forestry planting. Single speci¬ 
mens and groups for ornaments make a mag¬ 
nificent appearance, since its ultimate height 
is only 40 to 50 feet and the variety keeps 
within bounds of reasonable size. We offer:

The Riga variety may be planted wherever 
ordinary Scotch Pine will thrive. It will succeed 
as well and look better. Zone II.

Mugho Pine 
THE MUGHO PINE 
Mugho Pine (Pinus Montana, var. 
Mughus) 
6 to 8 feet. A dense low-spreading ever¬ 
green, being a variation from the Mountain 
Pine of Europe. One of the finest dwarfs. Since 
it is a variation, the strain of seed used is of 
the utmost importance. We try to have all 
our Mugho Pine real dwarf forms, raised from 
selected seed. This year we offer an unusual 
bargain. 
(Each) (10) (100)

The color photograph shows a specimen Mugho 
Pine about three to four feet broad. It is very 
slow growing and retains its dwarf nature for 
thirty years or more.
