Moecheim, perhaps the best 
Blue Spruce 
Evergreens, continued 
Pine; Pinus 
A characteristic of the Pines is that the leaves or needles are 
in bundles of 2, 3 or 5, united at the base, and are longer than 
those of the Spruce which occur singly and apparently scattered 
all over the stem though arranged spirally. Most Pines make 
large trees though a few are dwarf. 
Pine, Austrian or Black; Pinus nigra 
Rugged and picturesque with age, its regular whorls of stout, 
spreading branches forming a symmetrical, conical head, some¬ 
times flat-topped when old; needles very aromatic, in pairs, dark 
rich green, 4 to 5 in. long; cones yellowish-brown 2 to 3*4 
in. long; vigorous, becomes a large tree; should have plenty of 
room. 
3 to 4 feet, B. & B-2.50 each; 22.50 per 10 
4 to 5 feet, B. & B-3.50 each; 32.50 per 10

dark green needles in pairs; cones cinnamon-brown 1 to 1 V 2 in. 
long; the new growth is whitish, somewhat resembling candles 
ornamenting the plant; a good foundation evergreen and may 
be used in front of taller evergreens. 
15 to 18 inches, B. & B-1.50 each; 12.50 per 10 
24 to 30 inches, B. & B_3.00 each; 27.50 per 10 
30 to 36 inches, 3. & B_4.00 each; 35.00 per 10 
Pine, Ponderosa; Western Yellow Pine; Pinus ponderosa

4 to 5 feet, B. & B_2.50 each; 22.50 per 10 
5 to 6 feet, B. & B_3.50 each; 32.50 per 10 
Pine, White; Pinus strobus 
Majesty and grace are combined in this tall, stately tree, with 
regular whorls of horizontal branches forming a symmetrical 
crown; needles in 5’s, slender, flexible, soft bluish-green, the 
color well retained in winter, 2 to 4 in. long, and richly fra¬ 
grant; cones brown, 2 to 4 in. long. 
4 to 5 feet, B. & B_3.50 each; 32.50 per 10 
5 to 6 feet, B. & B-4.50 each; 42.50 per 10 
6 to 7 feet, B. & B -6.50 each 
7 to 8 feet, B. & B_8.00 each 
8 to 9 feet, B. & B-10.00 each 
Red Cedar; see Juniper, Virginia 
Spruce; Picea 
The stiff, sharp pointed needles, rarely over 1 inch long, 
remain 6 to 7 years and, unlike pines, are not in bundles but 
attached singly and arranged spirally on thebranches. 
Spruce, Moerheim; Picea pungens Moerheimi 
Perhaps the best of the Blue Spruces, it forms a dense, nar¬ 
rowly conical tree of great beauty. These are grafted and the 
needles are uniformly bright, intense blue. It should be remem¬ 
bered that all Blue Spruces are brightest in latter spring when 
the new growth develops. The blue color is a powder-like sub¬ 
stance on the needles, and part is gradually washed off by the 
rains and removed by the snows of winter.
