.lust at present the Pinehurst Nurseries
are not particularly attractive in appear
ance to the eye of the layman. Nature
is taking a brief rest, preparing to make
a dazzling appearance in the Spring,
which is not far distant, but a visit by
one familiar with horticulture, to this
important department in the equipment
of Pinehurst, is always a source of pleas
ure and instruction, and even the uninia
ted may enjoy much of this pleasure by
making the rounds with the manager,
Otto Katzenstein. Mr. Katzenstein not
only possesses knowledge, but he is
silso gifted with a rare power to trans
mit it to others. During his manage
ment here he has done much in making
Pinehurst and its long-leaf pine, known
to all parts of the civilized world.

The Nurseries embrace over sixty-five
acres, and in connection is a Green
house Department consisting of two
greenhouses, one for single and the other
for double violets, another for pot plants
and cut llowers and a large seed storage
house.
The Nurseries are devoted mainly to
hardy plants and shrubs which are in
digenous to this section of North Caro
lina. Many of these varieties are grown
by the tens of thousands and even at
this enormous rate the supply does not
begin to satisfy the demand, and exten
sive enlargement is contemplated. Just
at present a large force of workmen are
busy propogating for next seasons out
put which will exceed half a million a
week.
Much space is devoted to hardy Amer
ican shrubs, perennials and sub-tropical
plants, a speciality being made of the
introduction of new and rare hardy
shrub which are discovered from time
to time, by the Nurseries own collectors
and prospectors, on their various trips
about the country.
A. Itecent licoverj'.
The most remarkable and a recent dis
covery in this line is the Silver Cork Fir,
uAbies Arizonica, Merr." Its foliage re
sembles that of the Balsam Fir, but is
silver-white, with the bark of the trunk
and branches of a cream-white or pearl
gray tone ; a strangely beautiful tree and
one of the most unique of ornamental
evergreens. It grows naturally in an
attitude of 11,000 feet and is perfectly
hardy.
The seed storage house is stocked with
seeds of all native American trees and
plants, which are shipped in large quan
tities to all civilized countries. A speci
alty is made of the long-leaf pine seed
for which there is a constant and in
creasing demand from Italy, France,
Japan, and countries of similar latitudes.
The Seed Department publishes a cat
alog which is the most complete of its
kind issued and wrhich is universally
used as a reference book in the libraries
of the country.
The IMneliurst Violet.
The specialty of the greenhouse de
partment is the Pinehurst Violet, an ar
tificial hybrid, and a product of Pine
hurst. This little bloom has a peculiar
and delicate fragrance and large num
bers are sent North by visitors.
The Greenhouses are just at the right
of the road beyond the "cop bunkers" on
the golf course, with the nurseries lying
behind them ; an easy and delightful
walk from the Department Store of the
Village.
Visitors are always welcome and Mr.
Katzenstein takes especial pride and pleas
ure in showing them about and revealing
the various secrets which are hidden
from uneducated eyes.
