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 ap- 

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

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

 each. Larger Plants. $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 per- 

 fectly hardy and like A. DelavajT will be a valuable addition to our trees 

 for landscape planting. S.3.00 each. Larger Plants. So. 00 each. 



. NEW CHINESE SPRUCES INTRODUCED BY THE ARNOLD ARBORETUM. 



Picea asperata var. ; Dnderosa. This handsome variety is remarkable 



for its large cones. 

 Picea Balfouriana. Cne of the .allest of the Chinese Spruces. 



Picea montlgena. The short, tiout bristly leaves are of shining green 



and more or less glaucescent. 

 Picea retroflexa. Glaucous foUage 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 foHage makes them strikingly beauti- 

 ful 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 outHne.
