GIRARD BROTHERS’ 


MUGHO PINES ALONG AN ENTRANCE WALK 
Mugho Compacta Pine 
Girard Bros.’ Mugho Pine is grown from a 
selected 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, it is the outstanding dwarf ever- 
green for all-around use. In the spring when 
the new needles come, they are beautiful. 
Especially 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.

CANADA HEMLOCK

Most graceful of all evergreens is the title 
often bestowed on the Hemlock. Its long 
branches droop gracefully to the ground. 
Needles are soft and delicate. Does well in 
full sun or half shade, but prefers a rather 
moist place, a little sheltered from sweeping 
winds and partial shade, We secure our 
Hemlock seed from the far North securing 
a hardy, superior type. Do not confuse our 
Canadian Hemlock with the Hemlock spe- 
cies found growing wild in Tennessee.
