Japanese Table Pine 
(Pinus tanyosha globosa) 
Interesting Dwarf Form 
T HAS an attractive light green color with 
characteristic long, slim needles, soft and 
flexible. Our original trees were imported 
some years ago from Japan. It is reproduced by 
grafting. 
Dwarf forms among the Pines are not numer- 
ous. This one is especially valuable because of 
its unique habit, entirely distinct from other 
Evergreens. It grows on a short, stout trunk, 
branching out evenly in numerous branches, 
forming a flat, table-like top. 
Old trees develop a spread of three to four 
feet, but it remains only about two or three feet in 
height at the most. 
White Pine 
(Pinus strobus) 
HITE PINE has long been of great 
commercial value for timber. It for- 
merly grew abundantly throughout the 
northern Lake states, where it is the largest of all 
native Evergreens. 
It grows very fast. Its needles are 3 to 4 inches 
long, soft, flexible, and, unlike most other varie- 
ties, there are five needles in each little bundle or 
sheath. It is able to grow well on both dry and 
moist soil and on rich or poorest soil. It will also 
endure some shade for a number of years. 
White Pine is a beautiful object planted alone, 
its horizontal branches slightly curving upward. 
It will also bear considerable crowding which 
makes it adapted for use in close growing screens, 
backgrounds or windbreaks.
