PINUS: THE PINES 
"IIow comforting arc their whisperings, 
And the music of their tops how sweet!” 
'Powering and majestic, they are a prominent 
feature of the landscape in almost every country 
on the globe. The tall, stately growing varieties 
;sre much used for parks and large country places, 
while the smaller or dwarf varieties are adapted 
to the smallest lot. All pines must be transplanted 
when young, because of long tap-roots. They 
will thrive in the poorest and roughest of soils, 
and are invaluable for seashore planting. Being 
strong, rapid growers, they quickly attain a sub¬ 
stantial appearance, which makes them invaluable 
for lawn and specimen planting.
