like leaves in bundles of from two to five. Many

useful where a considerable area is to be covered. 
P. canariensis. CANARY ISLAND PINE. 80 ft. 
Easily one of the most beautiful pines. The ex¬ 
tremely long leaves, eight to twelve inches in 
length, are gathered into large tufts all over the

on small branches is silvery white in young trees. 
Vigorous and thrives perfectly under our conditions.

small tree; branches usually spreading; leaves very 
long, stiff, dark green, five in each sheath. Valued 
for its individuality of habit and great rarity.
