garden. 
Mail size (8 to 10 in.), postpaid_.40 each; 3.30 per 10 
Mahonia Aquifolium; Oregon Hollygrape 
Perhaps there is no more handsome broad leaved evergreen of 
medium height; a native of Oregon; its gets its name from the 
spiny-toothed holly-like leaves 1 V 2 to 3 in. long, as shiny as 
if stamped from polished metal, and the clusters of blue-black 
berries coloring in July; leaves 5 to 9 on a stem, bronzy when 
young, becoming a beautiful deep green, in autumn purplish- 
bronze and red; yellow flowers in April; grows 3 to 6 ft. high, 
may be kept lower by pruning; excellent on the north side of

Evergreens are excellent for foun¬ 
dation plantings, the taller varie¬ 
ties at the back, the lower to the 
front 
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 Y 2 
in. long; vigorous, becomes a large tree; should have plenty of 
room.

Pine, Mugho; Pinus montana mughus 
A dwarf tree, usually not over 4 to 5 ft. high, and may be 
kept lower by pruning; instead of a main trunk it is many¬ 
stemmed, low branched and dense, thickly covered with heavy 
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

Pine, Scotch; Pinus sylvestris 
Becomes a large tree with spreading, somewhat pendulous 
branches; pyramidal when young, broad, round-topped and pic¬

Red Cedar; see Juniper, Virginia 
A rock garden needs a background. In this case Lombardy 
Poplars are used 
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.
