Trees and Shrubs 



THUYOPSIS DOLOBRATA. 



This small genus comprises only a few species natives of 

 Japan, Their foliage is much like that of the Thuya but the 

 habit is spreading and more open. They make handsome rock- 

 work plants. They grow easily in any garden soil. 



Propagate by cuttings placed in a cold frame in sandy soil 

 mixed with leaf-mold, in October. 



TILIA (Linden). 



The Linden is one of the most desirable of the large-growing 

 trees, being symmetrical and formal in habit, especially when 

 young. As a single specimen on the lawn or as an avenue tree 

 it is unequalled. It loves a deep light loam and a sheltered* site. 



There are several species, one a native of the Eastern States 

 and one of Europe. These species have a number of varieties, 

 the leaves of some of them being variegated. 



The Linden is propagated by seeds which should be sown 

 as soon as ripe in the open ground one-quarter of an inch deep. 



TORREYA (False Nutmeg free). 



Ornamental evergreen trees with 

 spreading branches and dark-green 

 yew-like foliage. The Torreyas grow 

 well in any well-drained soil and 

 make handsome specimens for the 

 lawn, either singly or planted in 

 groups. Our native species (Torreya 

 Coulterii) the handsomest of the 

 genus, grows to a height of about one 

 hundred feet; Torreya grandis grows 

 to about the same height as does also 

 the Florida species. 



All are propagated by seeds
