Evergreens, Windbreaks, Hedges The Linn County Nurseries 
EVERGREENS 
We prefer to sell evergreens only to those within driving distance 
who come direct to the nursery for them. This will save transporta- 
tion delays and the danger of breakage in crating. There will not be 
sufficient experienced help to do landscape planting. 
TREES FOR WINDBREAKS AND HEDGES 
The trees offered in this section have not been sheared and have 
been grown in a thick row. They have been transplanted and root 
pruned to develop a good root system so they can be successfully trans- 
planted bare rooted if handled with reasonable care to prevent dry- 
ing which would be fatal to them. The supply of the larger windbreak 
trees is very limited and will not be plentiful again for a number of 
years. Missing the opportunity to plant this year may easily mean 
several years delay in getting a windbreak. 
We expect to undercut these as soon as the frost is out so a gang of 
three can get them out quite efficiently. If possible the buyer should 
come prepared to load the trees directly into his truck from the field. 
SPACING. For single row windbreaks plant Pines and Spruces 7 
to 8 feet apart; for double rows plant 10 or 12 feet apart in the row and 
space the rows still farther. 
SOILS. Pines prefer light, well drained soils, and White Pine in 
particular is likely to be short-lived if planted in very rich soil such as 
an old feed lot or where the drainage from a feed lot or manure pile 
runs near them. In places where it is quite wet, Spruce will do better 
than Pine and in swampy soil Arborvitae is best of all. 
PESTS. Red Spider or Mite causes much damage if there are not 
frequent dashing showers in early summer to destroy the young, and a 
rusty appearance is likely to be due to them. Water applied under a 
high pressure to the top every few days is an effective remedy. Pine 
Needle Scale is found almost everywhere and under favorable condi- 
tions may become a serious pest. White spots on the leaves of pine or 
spruce are likely due to it. Both this and Red Spider can be controlled 
by a single thorough spraying with Lime Sulphur such as orchardists 
use, in the regular dormant strength (1 to 8 of water) applied on warm 
days in spring before the new growth starts. Soluble oil sprays also 
are effective, but must be used with much caution. With frequent 
dashing showers through June, when the young are crawling, neither 
of these pests is likely to be serious. 
PINE—ponderosa, Bull Pine. 50-60 ft. Very long coarse leaves and 
stiff rugged branches not easily broken. Endures extreme drought. 
Requires full sun and tolerates no shade.

—White Pine. 70-80 ft. In spite of some breakage at times from heavy 
loads of ice, and that an occasional spraying may be needed to protect 
it from insect pests, we still think White Pine is one of the best of all
