Deciduous Trees 



These English Lindens were started in our Nursery forty-five years a?o, planted on Wheatley road, and , 

 about 1875 were moved to Garden City. When the hotel at that place was enlarged they were moved to the resi- 

 dence of Mr. William M. Baldwin, where they now stand. 



LINDEN. Tilia 



The Linden family comprises trees of the highest beauty, especially in the elliptical curves of their 

 outlines, as all the species have an ovate, or egg-shaped form. The curves are so smooth and perfect 

 as to excite general admiration. They all transplant readily and grow to a large size. For lawns 

 and entrance drives they take first rank. 



Silver. T. tomentosa ; syn., T. argentea ; syn., alba. White Linden. Justly considered one of the 

 handsomest of trees. In symmetry of form and dignity of bearing it is unsurpassed. The upper 

 sides of the leaves are dark ^ *- v ; ... . 



green. The foliage remains 

 in healthy condition through 

 drought and other unfavor- 

 able conditions until late in 

 autumn. (See illustration, 

 preceding page. ) 



Spectabilis. T. tomentosa, var. 

 spectabilis. A noble tree, re- 

 sembling the above, except 

 that the lower sides of the 

 leaves are green. 



Weeping Silver. T. petiolaris ; 

 syn., T. argentea, var. pen- 

 dula. This distinct and beau- 

 tiful species is a tall tree with 

 just the tips of the twigs grace- 

 fully turning down. The lower 

 branches arch to the ground, 

 making a verdant tent. The 

 foliage has the good qualities 

 of the Silver Linden. We 

 have specimens suitable for 

 planting where a 1 o w - 

 branched tree is needed in 

 the landscape. It grows to 

 a height of 60 feet and 

 will make a noble lawn
