Specimen Evergreens 
The Linn County Nurseries 
—Mugho, Dwarf Mountain Pine, 3 to 5 ft. 
This makes a compact dome-shaped bush broader 
than high. Sizes apply to width rather than height. 
Endures some shade and much heat and drought. 
Thrives in any well drained soil. One of the best of 
all dwarf evergreens. Makes an excellent sheared 
hedge. 
—Scotch, P. sylvestris, 25 to 30 ft. 
Bright green at all times, and endures city conditions 
exceptionally well. Shears well. 
—Thunbergi, Japanese Black Pine, 80 ft. 
Rich dark green long foliage. 
—White, P. strobus, 60 to 100 ft. 
The softest foliage of the Pines. Endures some 
shade. It is the longest lived and largest growing 
pine. Old specimens are especially beautiful.. Must 
be in well drained soil. 
SPRUCE—Black Hills, 50 to 70 ft. 
A native of the Black Hills. It does very well over 
a wide range and makes the finest specimens of all 
Spruce. This is a very variable species, ranging from 
very compact dwarfs to more open, rapid-growing 
trees, and from clear green to silvery blue-green. 
Our trees are mostly a very compact and slow-grow¬ 
ing type. In dry seasons it should be closely watch¬ 
ed and treated for red spider. 
—Colorado Blue, Picea pungens, 25 to 40 ft. 
-Selected Blue Specimens, Shiners. 
More used as a specimen tree than any other ever¬ 
green. Rather slow-growing, regular, compact, with 
very sharply pointed blue foliage. Subject to red 
spider injury if neglected.

YEWS (TAXUS) are particularly valuable for plant¬ 
ing in shady places. The Japanese Yew is said to 
endure the smoky atmosphere in cities better than 
any other evergreen. Their bright red fruits among 
the dark green leaves make them the most interest¬ 
ing of all evergreens in late summer. They stand 
much trimming.
