The Pines - Pinus 
Pines are natives of lowlands and mountainous regions and withstand 
well the cold, bleak winds to which they are subjected. The tall growing 
varieties are among the most ornamental trees, both for planting as a 
background in landscape gardening or as single specimens. Their appear¬ 
ance makes them remarkably distinct characters. The dwarf forms are 
very valuable for landscape, rockeries, and hillside planting. 
Austrian Pine (P. nigra). A tall, massive tree, with spreading 
branches heavily plumed with long, stiff, dark green needles. 5 ft., 
$7.00; 6 ft., $10.00; 7 ft., $12.00. 
Dwarf Mugha Pine (P. mughus) . One of the best dwarf evergreens for 
rocky banks, terrace slopes, small lawns, and very effective when 
grown at the corners of terraces, either singly or in company with 
other evergreens. It is broader than its height and sometimes almost 
prostrate. 1 ’/2 ft., $2.50; 2 ft., $3.00. 
Red Pine (P. resinosa). A fine fast growing Pine with lustrous dark green 
foliage. Can be used as a hedge and clipped. 5 ft., $6.50; 6 ft., $8.50; 
7 ft., $1 1 .00. 
White Pine (P. strobus) . This Pine grows quickly and makes a most useful 
and beautiful ornamental tree. For specimen groups or mass planting it 
is extensively used, as well as for shade and shelter belts. The needles 
are soft and bluish green. 4 ft., $4.00; 5 ft., $6.50. 
Swiss Stone Pine (P. cembra). A distinct, dwarf, pyramidal type, re¬ 
sembling somewhat the White Pine, but its needles are not so long and 
it is a much better lawn tree. Foliage very dark green. Makes an ex¬ 
cellent tree, adding a touch of very attractive color to the winter land¬ 
scape. Specimen plants. Prices on application. 
Japanese Cypress - Retinospora 
One of the most beautiful and popular evergreens on account of its 
soft, plumy foliage and splendid habit. Particularly good for foundation 
plantings. 
Sawara Cypress (R. pisifera). Dark green foliage. 2 ft., $1.75; 3 ft., 
$2.50. 
Golden Sawara Cypress (R. pisifera aurea). Golden yellow foliage. 2 ft.,

habit. 2 ft., $2.50; 3 ft., $3.75. 
The Yews are very desirable evergreens. They are highly effec¬ 
tive and ornamental in bed, group, or specimen planting. Their 
blackish green foliage makes a fine contrast with other types. They 
withstand clipping and are therefore well suited for producing 
formal effects. Very hardy.
