DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE NO. 1, 1893, 7. are coming into requisition more and more and indeed they should, for by their means the value of a place is greatly enhanced and a fine picturesque effect pro- duced at a very moderare expense. Our stock is very fine and complete as will be seen by the following description of leading varieties : WHITE PIXE, [Pinus Strohus.) One of the best Evergreens. The foliage is a warm light green, often with a bluish tinge. The leaves, in fives, three or four inches long, soft and delicately fragrant. It does not grow so rapid the first few years as some, but after being planted eight or ten years it is the most rapid grower of all our Evergreens. It accommodates itself to a great variety of soils: it is one of the best for shelter, the best large growing Evergreen to plant near buildings or along streets to be trimmed up for shade. But few, if any other trees, unite so many elements of beauty and utility as our Native White Pine. See Fig. 2 on following page. RED PINE. [Pinus Besinosa.) A rapid growing tree with dark rich green foliage in twos. It is superior to the Scotch or Austrian Pines for ornamental planting. Nine-tenths of wild trees perish in transplanting. When grown in nursery it transplants as successfully as other pines. When it has more room and freedom from shade, it is one of the best Ornamental Pines. It does best in a dryer and more sandy soil than suits the Austrian Pine. The rate of growing is about the same as the Norway Spruce. AUSTRIAN PINE. [Pinus Austriaca.) A thrifty tree with heavy long foliage in twos, very rigid and sharply pointed, of a deep green, The buds are long and white, a large tree, and must have room and freedom from shade. Does well in a moist loam; good for large Please note that
