AUSTRIAN PINE 
Hardy, Rapid Grower, Long Lived. Excellent for Windbreaks 
MISSOURI—“The Austrian Pine thrives splendidly in Missouri. It is perfectly 
hardy and is not injured by the long- droug-hts that we sometimes have. I have never 
known it to winter-kill. It will reach a very old age and it is one of the best evergreens 
for this state.”—W. L. Howard, University of Missouri, Columbia, Mo. 
MICHIGAN—“The Austrian Pine, introduced from Europe, has been widely planted 
over the northern part of the United States for many years. It has proven itself entirely 
hardy in Michigan, where old trees are found with great frequency in dooryards, ceme¬ 
teries, parks and public grounds. It has a very rugged habit of growth which gives it 
extra value for certain kinds of ornamental planting.”—Michigan Agricultural College, 
East Lansing, Mich. 
IOWA—“This variety is extensively planted here and invariably gives good results. 
Fully as hardy as the Scotch Pine and lives equally as long. It possesses a heavy, dark 
green foliage and is considered a superior variety for windbreaks and shelterbelts. It is 
rapid in growth.”—Iowa State Agricultural College, Ames, Iowa. 
A Q^I^^IIOMA—“I have had long experience in southern Kansas raising evergreens 
found that the Austrian Pine and Red Cedar were the best trees for the prairie 
sections of all those tested.”—N. O. Booth, Oklahoma Agricultural Experiment Station, 
Stillwater, Okla. 
This valuable tree, although of comparatively recent origin, has gradually 
worked its way into favor until today it is one of the most well known and widely 
planted evergreens on the list. In open positions a broad, bushy crown is produced 
which is very ornamental. Its strong, massive branches impart an air of sturdiness, 
making it a favorite for group planting. On account of its rapid growth and ex¬ 
treme hardiness, it is of inestimable value as windbreaks, shelter-belts and screens. 
Its dense growth stops snow and wind and in a few years the trees grow to a size 
that renders excellent protection to stock, crops and buildings.
