Among the evergreens there are none that equal the 
Japanese Black Pine where the need is for a bold plant 
with year round wholesome green foliage and the 
ability to withstand terrific winds and salt spray. 
Its form is pleasingly irregular and the green hue of 
its needles most attractive. 
Another pleasing feature that distinguishes it from 
most Pines is the effect of silver tips that the buds and 
“candles” give to the branches. 
PLANT PINES FOR ROMANCE 
The natural beauty of your seaside home will be 
enhanced by a planting of Pines. Their dark green, 
interesting forms not only provide a rich warm setting, 
but also a dark background against which the colorful 
flowers of shrubs, roses, perennials and annuals appear 
more vivid. 
Plant Japanese Black Pines and create your own’ 
romantic spot. They grow rapidly. They are informal 
and blend into the seaside landscape whether your 
home is on the coast of Maine, Cape Cod, Long Island 
Sound, Connecticut or New Jersey. 
Pines and Hurricanes 
On Cape Cod many Black Pines were completely 
submerged during the hurricanes of 1938 and 1944. 
Those that were situated where the salt water ran off, 
when the winds and tides receded, have never shown 
any discoloration or other ill effects of the salt bath. 
Pines also effectively screen uninteresting approaches 
and unattractive views. They provide windbreaks in 
locations swept by violent winds. And what a beauti- 
ful frame they make for the seascape that you view 
from your window! 
To the Arnold Arboretum of Jamaica Plain, Massa- 
chusetts, and especially to Mr. Bassett Jones of Nan- 
tucket and New York City, (who has done so much in 
the selection and distribution of the Japanese Black 
Pine), we are indebted for the excellent strain devel- 
oped at Nantucket. 
Increasing Popularity 
The popularity of this Pine is increasing rapidly as 
more and more people become aware of its ability to 
thrive close by the sea. During the Fall of 1953 we 
shipped more than eight large truck loads to Long Is- 
land alone. We have had many repeat orders from 
many customers all along the coast, — Virginia Beach, 
Virginia, for example.
