ORNAMENTAL TREES 



SELECT DECIDUOUS ORNAMENTAL TREES. 



The following comprise a Select Assortment of the most beautiful and estimable 

 species, which our long experience has enabled us to arrange with precision. The in- 

 ferior species we have omitted. 



We have divided them into four classes. The first class comprises those of ma- 

 jestic growth, which attain great stature and ample development ; the second class 

 ihose which attain a medium size ; the third class, those of low stature ; and the fourth 

 class, such as are comparatively of slow growth, requiring a long period before they 

 attain the size of a small tree, and which, therefore, it would be more appropriate, in 

 ornamenting grounds, to rank among large Shrubs. 



The prices stated are for trees of fair size ; but where extra large-sized trees are 

 desired for Streets. Avenues. &c, in order to impart immediate ornament, such caa be 

 supplied at proportionate rates, varying in height from ten to twenty feet, of many of 

 the most estimable species. 



For Amygdalus, Carya, Castarea, Diospyros, Juglans, Mespilus, Moras, Prunus, 

 Pyrus, &c, see Fruit and Nut Trees.
