In order that planters may be able to form an idea of the size which trees and shrubs attain at 

 maturity, a point which should always be taken into consideration at the time of planting, so that 

 the specimens may occupy the proper position, we have adopted letters to denote the various 

 classes as follows : 



A. denotes trees which attain the largest size, 50 feet and upwards. 



B. '' " " " secondary size, 20 to 40 feet. 

 C " " " " medium size, 9 to 15 feet. 



D. " trees and shrubs which attain only small size, 1 to 8 feet. 



Our object in the above classification is to lessen the labor and diflSculty, as far as possible, of mak- 

 ing selections adapted to particular purposes. 



CLASS I.— DECIDUOUS TREES, UPRIGHT AND DROOPING. 



Those preceded by a ( * ) are the most suitable for parks, avenues, streets, etc. They are propa- 

 gated in large quantities, and can be furnished at low rates.
