NEW FIRS FROM CHINA INTRODUCED BY THE ARNOLD ABORETUM. 



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 fohage make it rival in ap- 

 pearance the Yew trees of Europe, and we predict that for landscape 

 purposes, this Fir will be used to produce the Yew effects here. S3. 00 

 each. Larger Plants, .S5.00 each. 



Abies reeurvata. This Fir is of pjTamidal habit. The rich, deep green 

 fohage resembles that of Abies Delavayi, but is stronglj- recurved, which 

 gives the tree a distinct and pleasing appearance. It has proved 

 perfectly hardy and Hke A. DelavajT will be a valuable addition 

 to om: trees for landscape planting. S3. 00 each. Larger Plants. 

 S5.00 each. 



NEW CHINESE SPRUCES INTRODUCED BY THE ARNOLD ABORETUM. 



Picea asperata var. ponderosa. This handsome variety is remarkable 

 for its large cones. 



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



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

 and more or less glaucescent. 



Picea retroflexa. Glaucous foliage in somewhat spiral arrangement. 

 Very interesting. 



Picea asperata. A quadrangular-leaved Spruce from northwestern 

 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 growth, and 

 the purplish coloring of the young foliage makes them strikingly beauti- 

 ful in the early Smnmer. 



Picea asperata var. notabilis. This varietj' differs from the preceding, 

 chiefly in the cones, the scales of which are rhombicovate in outline. 



Strong Plants of the above varieties, each S3. 00. Collection of 6 varieties, S15.00. Larger Plants, each So.OO. Collection of 6 varieties, S25.00.
