MUGHO PINE 
MUGHO COMPACTA PINE 
Girard Brothers’ Mugho Pine is grown 
from a selected strain of seed which pro- 
duces 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 an- 
nually it can be kept as small as desired. 
Shear‘ng 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 evergreen for 
all-around use. In the spring when the 
new needles come, they are beautiful. Es- 
pecially adapted for planting in front of 
taller evergreens, entrances to walks, low 
informal hedges, and on terraces.

YOUNG CANADIAN 
HEMLOCK TREES 
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 se- 
cure our Hemlock seed from the far North 
securing a hardy, superior type. Do not 
confuse our Canadian Hemlock with the 
Hemlock species found growing wild in 
Tennessee.

EUROPEAN LARCH 
This tree is peculiar among evergreens in 
that its needle-like leaves are shed each 
year. The lone species of the north-eastern 
United States is the Tamarack. Unlike this 
variety the European Larch is a rapid grow- 
ing pyramidal tree of wonderful beauty, In 
the spring the needles are soft light green, 
which turn golden yellow when they mature 
and drop off in the fall.
