PITCH PINE — Pinus rigidus 
This is the Pine — native to Cape Cod with irregular 
branches and somewhat sparse foliage. It does not 
succeed where subject to salt spray nearly as well as 
the Japanese Black Pine and it is extremely difficult to 
transplant successfully. To our knowledge no nursery 
offers it for sale. We have no Pitch Pines. 
The coarse needles are wonderful for covering the ground in 
partially shaded areas or where protected from the wind, mak- 
ing a lawn unnecessary. 
Here are some other items that will succeed along 
the coast, not included in this booklet. Write for prices.

AUSTRIAN PINE — Pinus nigra

Austrian Pine was considered best for the seashore. A 
broad thick tree with long dark needles, — not so 
rapid growing.

PLANTS FOR SHELTERED PLACES 
There are a multitude of places bordering on salt 
water that are so completely sheltered from winds and 
the accompanying spray that no thought need be given 
to the selection of the purely seaside materials. 
An examination of the picture heading this page 
shows a natural planting of White Pine — Pinus 
strobus which in our opinion is the most beautiful and 
useful Pine that grows. But White Pine does not grow 
on bleak windswept shores unless in the protecting 
lee of Spruces, Firs and other stalwart native trees. 
In these sheltered places, even though bordering on 
salt gutters, and as a rule wherever White Pines are 
growing near the coast, you have a good example of a 
sheltered place, where a wealth of plant material can 
be used including vines, shade and flowering trees, 
evergreens, flowering shrubs and roses in great variety. 
Let us make it perfectly clear that we have in our 
nurseries a wide variety of other trees, shrubs and 
hardy plants for general planting in areas where con- 
ditions are not as severe both in soil and exposure 
as along the seacoast. 
We shall be glad to receive a list of any other re- 
quirements you may have. We invite you to write for 
a copy of our more complete catalog.
