MUGHO PINES ALONG AN ENTRANCE WALK 
Mugho Compacta Pine 
Ransom Mugho Pine is grown from a se- 
lected strain of seed which produces the 
true, many stemmed, low branched, dwarf 
type. The color is a deep green summer and 
winter. Mugho seldom grows over 4 to 5 
feet tall even if never pruned, but spreads 
out. If sheared annually it can be kept as 
small as desired. Shearing produces a thick 
dense foliage, as thick and as green as a 
bluegrass lawn. Mugho does well in shade 
growing on the north side or shady side of 
a building without getting ragged. Without 
question the outstanding dwarf evergreen 
for all-around uses. In the spring when the 
new needles come they are beautiful. Espec- 
ially adapted for planting in front of taller 
evergreens, entrances to walks, low informal 
hedges, and on terraces.

Young Mughos to Plant in Your Garden 
Line these out 18 inches apart and they 
will soon develop into little trees. In about 
one year you will have trees 8x8 inch size. 
Often they should be pruned back before you 
set them out. This pruning can be done then 
or later. If flat specimens are wanted prune 
low. In shipping orders we often prune one 
tree for a sample and mark it.

grown anywhere. Seedlings not available.

shape. They are better than I expected. I 
am very much pleased with all of them.
