Desirable as a specimen and as a timber tree. 
Will grow on light soil but demands the sun¬ 
light, and should not be crowded. Needles two 
in a sheath. Will not stand pruning as well as 
some others. Its rapid growth and plume-like 
branches make it quite effective when grown 
in the open. Practically free from insects and 
disease. For a timber tree, should be planted 
in the open, as will die out if in the shade. Gen¬ 
erally has a straight trunk with a rather thick 
bark 
at 
maturity, reachin 
g 
a 
height of 70 or 
SO 
feet.

stroluis White Pine 
A native evergreen, highly desirable as an 
ornamental tree. A rapid grower. Needles five 
in a sheath. Also the chief timber tree. To make 
a bushy ornamental tree it should be pruned 
and grown in the open. Will stand a lot of 
pruning and will make a very fine hedge, very 
thick and compact. As it is a very rapid grower 
it makes a quick showing. Can be made into, a 
round ball shaped tree by clipping and easily 
kept in bounds so as not to be over six or seven 
feet high even after 15 or 20 years growth. 
If not pruned, will grow two or three feet a 
year in good soil, reaching a height of 80 or 
100 feet.

sylvestris Scotch Pine 
A rapid growing, stiff needled pine, with 
somewhat bluish cast. The bark flakes off on 
older trees, giving a somewhat yellow appear¬ 
ance to the trunk. Will grow in poor soil but 
likes the sunlight. Will stand pruning. Can be 
used in screen or background planting, or as 
a specimen tree if kept pruned. Planted as a 
timber tree it is of inferior quality to the 
white pine, but makes a quick cover on light 
or sandy land. A native of Europe, reaching a 
height of 70 feet or more.
