NEW EVERGREENS FROM CHINA 



Abies Delavayi. 



Chinese Spruces at our Cape Cod Nursery. 



Picea asperata var. ponderosa. 



New Firs from China Introduced by the Arnold Arboretum 



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

 It is also one of the hardiest known in China. ' 



Its upright growth and rich deep green foliage make it rival in 

 appearance the Yew trees of Europe, and we predict that for' land- 

 scape 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. It has 

 proved perfectly hardy and like A. Delavayi will be a valuable addi- 

 tion to our trees for landscape planting. .fS.OO each. 



New Chinese Spruces Introduced by the Arnold Arboretum 



Picea asperata var. ponderosa. This handsoine variety is remairkable 

 for its large cones. 



Picea Balfouriana. One of the tallest of the Chinese Spruces. 



Picea montigena. The short, stout bristly leaves are of shinini^ green 

 and more or less glaucescent. [ 



Picea retrofiexa. Glaucous foliage in soinewhat spiral arrangement. 

 Very interesting. 



Strong plants of the above varieties, each .S3. 00 Collection of G varieties, 

 $15.00. . 



Picea asperata. A quadrangular-leaved Spruce from north-western 

 China. Some of the trees are very glaucous in appearance, hence the 

 colloquial name Yun sha (Cloudy Fir). Old trees are very spire-like 

 in outline. All the varieties of P. asperata are of dense gro-n^h, 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. 



Larger Plants, each, $5.00. Collection of 6 varieties, .'525.00.
