PINE - Pinus 
The Pines are used principally for group 
or mass plantings where the trees can grow 
to a fairly large size. They are very rugged 
and picturesque. The Austrian and Red 
Pines make good lawn specimen trees, while 
the Mugho, being of small dwarf habit, 
lends itself to foundation planting work. 
AUSTRIAN (Nigra). Lg. A_ robust, 
stately Pine, rapid in growth and very 
hardy. It is one of the most pictur- 
esque Pines, making a tall, handsome 
tree, with a broad, oval head. Has long, 
stiff, dark green needles. Fine for lawn 
specimen or evergreen group planting.

MUGHO (Mughus). Sm. A very choice, 
hardy, dwarf evergreen; slow growing, 
compact and neat in its habit, some- 
what globular. Our trees are of the 
true compact type. Valuable for foun- 
dation planting. 
See picture on page 20. 
RED or NORWAY (Resinosa). Le. 
Another long-needled Pine, resembling 
the Austrian Pine. Native of Northern 
Wisconsin. See picture. sy) 5 
WHITE (Strobus). Lg. The ‘‘King of 
the North Woods.’? The most orna- 
mental of our native evergreens; foliage 
light, delicate or silvery green. Grows 
in the poorest, light, sandy soil.

YEW - Taxus 
~ Red Pine 
The Yews are particularly noteworthy for their rich, dark 
green foliage, the color of which is held throughout the year. 
They grow rather slowly, stand shearing well, and are especially 
useful for foundation plantings. Have red berries for the fall. All 
Yews are heavy feeders, and respond to fertilizer in general vi- 
BREVIFOLIA. Sm. A low, bushy, dwarf variety, very com- 
pact and dense, with heavy dark green, waxy needles. Very 
slow growing. Rarely gets more than 2 feet high. Hardiest 
of all Yews. See picture on page 23. 
CUSPIDATA. Med. A bushy, irregular, spreading type of 
Yew, growing like the Pfitzer Juniper. As with the Capitata, 
about half of the new growth should be cut off every sum- 
mer to thicken and shape tree. The development of this tree 
(as well as that of any of the other Yews), can be regulated 
upright. Likewise by shearing the top, the growth will tend 
to be more spreading. See picture on page 23.

A Pleasing Arrangement of Upright and Spreading Yews 
CAPITATA. Med. An upright growing conical tree, 
broad at the base and tapering to the top. Because it is 
such a fast grower about half of the new growth should 
be pruned off every summer. This tends to thicken tree 
and form a better shape. 
CUSPIDATA INTERMEDIA. Sm. This is one of the new- 
er varieties, which we like very much, It’s a hybrid de- 
velopment 
by pruning. By shearing the sides, the growth will be more green, heavy, plump needles. Grows faster and larger 
than Brevifolia, but not as fast or large as Cuspidata. 
One of the hardier Yews. 
tality and rapidity of growth. 
The Yews actually thrive in shade and in this respect differ 
from other evergreens. Because they survive a smoky atmosphere, 
they are one of the few evergreens suitable for planting in con- 
gested cities. They are the best evergreens for shady places. 
Truly: Ever- 
greens like 
these will add 
charm to any 
home.
