To the foregoing list of deciduous trees, we have intro- 

 duced the following list of evergreens, which are highly or- 

 namental, especially in winter, adding, oh, so much to the 

 apparent warmth of the landscape: Austrian pine, Scotch 

 pine, White pine. Red pine, Mugho pine. Bull pine, Norway 

 spruce, white spruce, blue spruce, Douglas fir, balsam fir, 

 Rocky Mountain green spruce, Engleman's spruce, Abies, 

 Concolor or silver spruce, hemlock and arborvita. All of 

 these do Avell when once established, making a wonderful 

 growth in a few years, and on poor soil. We have trees of 

 white pine, Austrian and Scotch pine twelve years trans- 

 planted, 20 and 25 feet tall, and spruce the same age 15 feet 

 in height. 



The soft elm is conceded to be one of our finest and most 

 desirable avenue or boulevard trees. 



The Sycamore is a tree of quick growth and adaptable to 

 low and high land. It is of pyramidal form, with good foliage. 



The Ash, a tree of dense green foliage and compact growth, 

 is desirable on the lower grounds. 



The Hackberrv, a tree of good form and dense shade is a 

 quick grower in good soil. 



The Linden, a desirable tree, both for its shade and bloom. 



The Pin Oak, a symmetrical tree, and highly prized for its 

 upright habit and clean cut appearance, and also for the 

 beautiful coloring of its leaves in Autumn. 



The Red, and other Oaks, such as the White and Black and 

 Mossy cup, all make excellent trees for park or homestead 

 planting. 



The Sugar Maple is a most desirable tree of dense and com- 

 pact growth, although not a very fast grawer.
