White Pine, balled and burlapped ready for 
delivery, Home Nursery. 
WHITE PINE—Hardy ornamental Pine, of very rapid 
growth, symmetrical when young, picturesque in old 
age. Leaves soft blueish-green, long and slender, and 
easily moved by the slightest breeze, so that a constant 
sighing and moaning is kept up. which has long been 
the theme of the poets. A native of the northern part of 
the United States and the tree that our best White 
Pine lumber comes from. Each season’s growth is 
plainly noticeable, as the branches are grown in 
whorls or tiers and the age of any tree is easily de¬ 
termined by counting these whorls. On account of its 
very fast growing and subsequent immense size, it 
makes a splendid tree for tall background planting, 
also fine for streets and avenues.
