NEW CHINESE SPRUCES. 



The researches of the well-known plant collector, Mr. E. H. Wilson, have proved that 

 Western China is the headquarters of the Spruce tribe and that about half the known 

 species grow in that region. Most of these species were successfully introduced by Wilson 

 and their behavior in cultivation with us is so far entirely satisfactory. In their native 

 habitat, Mr. Wilson assures us that they are singularly handsome trees and they promise 

 to be of immense value to the gardens of Eastern North America. We take pleasure in 

 offering the garden public of this country the above six new Spruces.
