Picea asperata var. ponderosa. 



NEW FIRS FROM CHINA 



Abies Delavayi. This is one of the handsomest of the Silver Fir family. Its upright growth 

 and rich deep green foliage make it rival in appearance the'Yew trees of Europe, and we predict 

 that for landscape purposes this Fir will be used to produce the Yew effects here. $5.00 each. 



Abies recurvata. This Fir is of pyramidal habit. The rich deep green foliage resembles 

 that of Abies Delavayi, but is strongly recurved, which gives the tree a distinct and pleasing 

 appearance. $5.00 each. 



NEW CHINESE SPRUCES 



Picea asperata, A quadrangular-leaved Spruce from northwestern China. All the varieties 

 of P. asperata are of dense growth, and the purplish coloring of the young foliage makes them 

 strikingly beautiful in the early summer. 



Picea asperata var. notabilis. This variety differs from the preceding, chiefly in the cones, 

 the scales of which are rhombicovate in outline. 



Strong Plants of the above varieties, each $3.00.
