AUSTRIAN PINE 
(Pinus nigra) 
Glamour combined with 
ruggedness adds to the 
desirability of this useful 
tree. Long-needled, dark- 
green foliage covers the 
branches spreading from 
a trunk which will ma- 
ture to a height of 50 
feet. Heat, drought and 
city-smoke resistant, it is 
a practical addition any- 
where. 
9 to 12 inches, twice trans- 
planted, Each 75c, Ten $5.75 
DWARF MUGO PINE (Pinus mugho mughus). 
One of the best low-growing dwarf ever- 
greens, this compact Pine is most effective 
for foundation plantings. Short, dark green 
needles in small bunches are tipped in the 
spring by light green spires, giving it the ap- 
pearance of being covered with candles. 
Seldom growing over six feet high when 
untrained, it may be kept down to a 2 or 3 
foot ball by a single annual shearing. 
10 to 12 inches, field-grown, Each $1.60, 
Two $3.00 
Our Pine selections include one 
a, outstanding dwarf and several tree 
forms of merit. 
There are a number of Mugo and 
similar Pines of varying dimensions 
but the true Dwarf Mugo seems to us to be the one important variety in 
this group. 
Because there are a number of excellent tree Pines with striking indi- 
vidual characteristics, it did not seem possible to reduce this list to less 
than the four offered. These Pines have no place in the foundation plant- 
ing. Their usefulness is in screening, wind protection, background andi oc- 
casional use as a specimen. 
Our list includes two species that are tops for Christmas tree planting, 
and these two plus a third are among the very best trees for northern 
forest plantings (see discussion on this subject). 
Pines are remarkable in thriving om some of our poorest, most acid 
soils, as long as these soils are well-drained. None thrive in shade, al- 
though the White Pine will tolerate more shade than the others. Like the 
Spruces and the Firs, the Pines are natives of northern forests and aire 
completely winter hardy. 
NORWAY OR RED PINE (Pinus resinosa). Ex- 
cellent for bold effects, this large ornamental, 
quick-growing tree is valuable for 
screening or as a@ specimen. Its 
needles are from 4 to 6 inches long, 
remaining a rich, glossy, forest green 
throughout the winter. Extremely 
hardy. 
12 to 16 inches, 4-yr. transplants for 
screening, Ten $5.00, 25 $12.00, 
100 $35.00

WHITE PINE (Pinus strobus). The 
most graceful of the Pines. Its deli- 
cate, soft, blue-green foliage is un- 
surpassed by any northern evergreen 
except possibly the Hemlock. This is 
easily my favorite Pine. It is com- 
pletely charming as a little fellow 
and grows more handsome with the 
years. Although it becomes the tall- 
est tree of eastern North America, it 
may be kept to any desired size by 
shearing. We have a lovely clipped 
hedge of White Pine only 3 feet high! 
Use it freely for wind protection, 
screening or as a background foil 
for flowering trees. White Dogwood 
blooming against a White Pine back- 
ground makes an unforgettable pic- 
ture. When the wind whispers 
through the White Pine needles, close 
your eyes and you are in the forest 
primeval. 
15 to 18 inches, field-grown, 
Each $3.00, Three $8.50, Ten $25.00 
5-yr. transplants, 12 to 15 inches for 
screening, Ten $5.00, 25 $12.00, 
100 $35.00

SCOTS PINE 
(Pinus sylvestris) 
A vigorous tree, pic- 
turesque and cone- 
shaped, it will grow lux- 
uriantly on high and dry 
ground. Its foliage is not 
so dense as that of the 
Austrian Pine, and _ its 
needles are shorter and a 
lighter green. It is hardy, 
and valuable for masses, 
specimens and _ screens. 
12 to 18 inches, twice frans- 
planted, Each $1.00, 
Three $2.80
