Cyclopedia of American horticulture, comprising suggestions for cultivation of horticultural plants, descriptions of the species of fruits, vegetables, flowers, and ornamental plants sold in the United States and Canada, together with geographical and biographical sketches. Gardening. 1342 PINE Pine 2 ft. in length and P. Torreyana and JSahi, of material. With wide range of distribution and hence adaptive- as far as climate is concerned, we have our Short- leaf Pine (P. ec/ium^o, which is found from Massa- chusetts to Texas, and in the West our Bull Pine {P. ponderosa), which ranges from the Pacific coast in Washing- ton to the dry slopes of Arizona. In Europe, the Scotch Pine comes nearest to such wide distribution. Besides our own northern species, there have been found hardy in our north- eastern states the Scotch and Austrian Pines P. Biinr/eana, Cembra, Kora- iensis, montana, Tlmn- betyi, while the Mexican Pines and those of south- ern Asia will endure only the light frosts of our southern states. Yet in the parks of Washington, D. C, the following Pines are to be found: P. Slro-. Cembra Lnmb,' Tmh, ifia. aim, echinata, montana, Pinaster, uliilis, piuirjens, si/lvestris, Massoniana; and the probability is that most of the other species could find a place there to live if not to thrive. Figs. 1807-1809 show how a species may vary under different conditions. The list of species hardy in the Arnold Arboretum (Boston) comprises the following: Thr ell. Bungeaua, Cembra, densiilora. divaricata, Jeffrey],' Koraiensts, Strobus, sylvestris, Thunbprgi, Virginiana. monticola, parviilora, pungeus, P. excelsa and P. ponderosa pendula thrive well in a sheltered place, but are probably not quite hardy here. 2. Hardy, but not of promising growth. Balfouriana, var. aristuta, flexilis, . Murrayaua. monophylla. In the interior middle states the number which would stand the extremes of drought and cold would probably be reduced; a partial list found in the Missouri
