Pinus Montana Mughus 
PINUS (The Pines) 
Here again, we have a group of hardy 
evergreens that displays not alone an or- 
namental, but even more, an intrinsic 
economic value. The dwarf forms make 
good subjects for the foundation-planting; 
but the others are chiefly timber trees that, 
if given opportunity, make big specimens 
of forest proportions. They may, however, 
be confined by pruning and thus adapted 
tO many special purposes. 
Montana mughus (Mugho Pine). The 
only dwarf variety we grow. The rather 
coarse, stiff foliage is most pleasing in 
combination with the softer, more grace- 
ful evergreens. Compact and symmetri- 
cal in growth, the true Mugho makes a 
fine foundation planting subject.

Nigra (Austrian Pine). A _ stiff-needled 
Pine of great hardiness even tolerating 
the bleak, salty atmosphere of the sea- 
shore. An excellent variety for specimen 
or group planting. 
Bee PIN A a Ca meee TAL!) 
Strobus (White Pine). A native of New 
England and much valued for its lum- 
ber. A handsome evergreen with soft, 
silvery-green foliage and very rapid in 
growth. Excellent for naturalizing and 
much used for hedges and windbreaks 
as it withstands considerable pruning.

TAXUS (The Yews) 
All except one of these Yews are of 
foreign origin; but they have assumed a 
place of importance amongst our hardy 
planting material. Of relatively slow 
growth, with good substance and color that 
remains unchanged throughout the Winter, 
the Japanese varieties can be depended 
upon to grow successfully in many difficult 
spots where other evergreens would be 
unreliable. 
Cuspidata (Japanese Yew). Spreading 
Variety—Native of Japan but one of our 
finest evergreens. Really a plant invest- 
ment appreciating in value with age, of 
compact spreading habit and handsome 
black-green foliage the year round. At 
home in either sun or shade and ex- 
tremely tolerant of unfavorable soil or 
atmospheric conditions.

THUJA (The Arborvitaes) 
The Arborvitae hardly needs an intro- 
duction, so familiar has it become to garden 
lovers everywhere. As a family it is versa- 
tile in the many handsome forms and va- 
rieties it offers for the beautification of our 
New England homes and gardens. Ample 
moisture and sunlight are its chief 
requisites, 
Occidentalis (American  Arborvitae) 
(White Cedar). A native variety of up- 
right, bushy growth extensively used for 
foundation planting; also a fine hedge or 
screen material.

Occidentalis pyramidalis (American 
Pyramidal Arborvitae). This narrow, col- 
umnar form is essential for many re- 
stricted locations where slender height is 
desired. Its foliage is a deep, rich green 
which seldom “browns” in Winter. Un- 
surpassed for formal evergreen groups.

TSUGA (The Hemlocks) 
Of all our native evergreens, the Hem- 
lock is outstanding for a certain graceful 
elegance that adapts it to a wide range of 
uses, ornamental as well as utilitarian. 
When given room to develop, it grows into 
a big, shapely tree; but it may be confined 
by shearing to conform with the heavier 
parts of a foundation-group, under which 
conditions it becomes compact and dense. 
Hemlock is one of the best evergreens for a 
hedge. Naturally a tree of the deep woods, 
the Hemlock is not always a success when 
planted in a wind-swept situation. 
Canadensis (Canada Hemlock). The na- 
tive Hemlock of the northern states, 
commonly used for ornamental planting, 
hedges, and _ screens. Symmetrical, 
rapid growth; responds readily to prun- 
ing or close shearing.
