HA&DT ORNAMENTAL TREES & SHRUBS. 



The Catalogues sent out from the different 

 Nurseries in our country contain many Trees 

 and Shrubs which are in fact not suitable for 

 New-England culture, as our winters are 

 so severe that they are often killed to the 

 ground ; such are the Rhus cotinus or Veni- 

 tian Sumache, the Ailanthus or Tree of Hea- 

 ven, Osage Orange and frequently the Catal- 

 pa ; we have therefore selected the following 

 list, of those which can be recommended as 

 hardy and will stand our winters unprotected, 

 commencing with 



Large Ornamental Trees Class 1.
