Various Pines

Like sentinels these beautiful Pines guard this New England Homestead 
THE PINES 
This group, the largest and most important of all the ever¬ 
green families, contains some seventy different species. They are 
growing in fragrant beauty all over New England, out into the 
great northwest and far down into the sunny South. Theirs 
are the lines that give the distinctive aspect of freedom and 
grandeur to our northeastern landscapes and they are, perhaps, 
the most characteristic evergreen of this section. 
Pines furnish not only the most important timber trees, 
but also the most valuable plant material for large ornamental 
groups. The Pines do not lose their beauty as they mature, but 
gain in character and picturesque appearance. 
Although they live to immense age and many attain great 
height, the Pines are also well adapted to decorative use as 
evergreens of medium size during their long and charming youth. 
Mugho 
Pine 
Dwarf Mountain Pines are an excellent choice'' for planting in 
f ront of other evergreens. Extremely hardy and very handsome. 
Swiss Stone Pine 
(Pinus cembra) 
A rare semi-dwarf Alpine evergreen with deep 
green needles, silvery underneath. Similar in many 
ways to the White Pine, but of smaller shapelier form. 
This slow-growing compact variety will delight you 
with its beauty of color and texture. Use freely in or¬ 
namental plantings or in ornamental groups about 
the house and lawn. Is excellent for accent in founda¬ 
tion planting. Shipped in New England and New 
York only.

Limber Pine 
(Pinus flexilis) 
A Pine of wonderful color, almost as blue as 
the Blue Spruce. Unique as a border or lawn 
evergreen. Its branches reach up, and its 
needles surround the branchlets in a close 
sheath of blue green, not fringing or spraying 
out, but held toward the twig with charming 
and unusual effect. Limber Pines closely resem¬ 
ble the White Pines and can be used in much 
the same way, — in the background to give 
variety in group plantings, for tall screens and 
masses and for single specimens on spacious 
lawns. Hardy and vigorous, these Pines are 
quite out of the ordinary and no planting is 
complete without their picturesque note. For 
New England and New York only.

Dwarf Mountain Pine 
(Pinus montana mughus) 
Often called Mugho Pine. One of the 
hardiest and best dwarf evergreens. Dis¬ 
tinctly round and compact. Ideal for founda¬ 
tion planting, edging or low massing. In 
spring, bright colored new shoots like tiny 
candles adorn them and contrast splendidly 
with other evergreens. This is the best Pine 
for planting about building foundations and 
is very effective in the foreground of taller 
evergreens. It succeeds in almost any soil 
except the very wet and will stand much ex¬ 
posure to wind and sun. Excellent for plant¬ 
ing at the seashore and for covering sandy 
slopes.

Austrian Pine 
(Pinus nigra) 
This hard pine is unusually rugged and pic¬ 
turesque with a wide spread of great branches 
with long, stiff, dark green needles. Its resilient 
structure makes it most valuable for planting under 
adverse conditions of sweeping wind, salt spray, 
poor soil and dry hilltops. Especially desirable for 
protective plantings around country and seaside 
homes where these conditions often prevail. A splen¬ 
did evergreen for city plantings, as it successfully 
resists gassy and smoky atmospheres.
