Pine - Pinus 
The Pines are used principally for group or mass plantings where the trees 
can grow to a fairly large size. They are very rugged and picturesque. The 
Austrian and Scotch Pines make good lawn specimen trees, while the Mugho 
being of a small dwarf habit, lends itself to foundation planting work. 
Austrian or Black Pine (Austriaca). Lg. A robust, stately Pine, rapid in 
growth and very hardy. It is one of the most picturesque Pines, making a tall, 
handsome tree, with a 
broad, oval head. Has 
long, stiff, dark green 
needles. Fine for lawn 
specimen or evergreen 
group planting. (See 
picture on page 15.) 
Mugho Pine (Mughus). 
Sm. A very choice, 
hardy, dwarf evergreen; 
slow growing, compact 
and neat in its habit, 
somewhat globular. Our Mugho Pine 
trees are of the true 
compact type. Valuable for foundation planting. 
Ponderosa (Western Yellow Pine). Lg. Heavy massive needles from 6 to 10 
inches long. Tree grows wide and tall, resembling the Austrian Pine. Thrives 
in any soil. 
Red Pine (Resinosa). Lg. Another long-needled Pine, resembling the Austrian 
Pine. Native of Northern Wisconsin. 
Scotch Pine (Sylvestris). Lg. As a native of the British Isles, it is a fine, robust, 
rapid growing tree, very thrifty. Needles are 2 to 5 inches long, of a light green 
color. For specimen or group plantings. 
White Pine (Strobus). Lg. The “King of the North Woods.” The most orna¬ 
mental of our native evergreens; foliage light, delicate or silvery green. Grows 
in the poorest, light, sandy soil. 
Scotch Pine. 
Spruce - Picea 
The Spruce are among our best known evergreens. The needles are short, 
stiff and sharp pointed. They all grow tall and upright, forming a densely 
branched cone. They are used for group and mass plantings, screens and wind¬ 
breaks, and as lawn specimens. 
Black Hills Spruce (Canadensis albertiana). Med. We wish to call particular at¬ 
tention to the Black Hills Spruce. This variety, being the smallest of the 
Spruces, develops into sturdy, heavy bodied, compact, conical trees. It is a 
native of the Black Hdls country of South Dakota, and as such, will stand 
some dryness. Color a good green, with a silvery blue cast. It is hardy, easily 
planted and a great favorite. (See cut on page 19).
