Specimen Evergreens The Linn County Nurseries 

PINE—Mugho. Dwarf Mountain Pine. 3-5 ft. This 
makes a compact dome-shaped bush broader than 
high. Sizes apply to width rather than height. Endures 
some shade and heat and drought. Thrives in any 
well-drained soil. 
—Ponderosa. Bull Pine. 50-80 ft. Very long leaves and 
stiff rugged branches. Endures the driest, most exposed 
situations best of all the list. Requires sun and tolerates 
no crowding. 
—Scotch. Pinus Sylvestris. 50-75 ft. Bright green at all 
times, and endures city conditions exceptionally well. 
Shears well. 
—White. Pinus Strobus. 60-100 ft. The softest foliage 
of the pines. Endures some shade. It is the longest 
lived and very beautiful. Must be in well drained soil. 
SPRUCE—Black Hills. 50-70 ft. A native of the Black 
Hills. It does very well over a wide range and makes 
the finest specimens of all spruce. This is a very 
variable species, ranging from very compact dwarfs to 
more open, rapid-growing trees, and from clear green 
to silvery blue-green. Our trees are mostly a very com- 
pact and slow growing type. In dry seasons it should 
be closely watched and treated for Red Spider. 
—Selected Blue Colorado Spruce. Picea pungens. 
25-40 ft. More used as a specimen tree than any other 
evergreen. Rather slow-growing, regular and com- 
pact with very sharply pointed blue foliage. Subject 
to Red Spider injury if neglected. 
—Green Colorado Spruce Specimens. The same fine, 
compact form as above. Sometimes, but not always, 
they develop a blue color with age. 
—Servian. Picea omorika. An attractive slow growing 
dense pyramidal tree reaching considerable height. 
Leaves bright green with white stripes above. 
YEWS (TAXUS) are particularly valuable for planting 
to shady places and in cities where the smoky atmos- 
phere is injurious to most evergreens. Their bright red 
fruits among the dark green leaves make them the most 
interesting of all evergreens in late summer. They 
stand much trimming, are long lived, and free from 
pests. Plant in the richest soil, well mixed with peat 
and humus. 
—Japanese—Japanese Yew, spreading T. cuspidata. 
4-6 ft. A spreading irregular, bush form. Can be kept 
low by a little shearing.
