SmaII=Sized Trees for Nursery Planting. 



For parks and all public institutions or private estates where future planting is required, these 

 small trees are very desirable in point of economy. 



Certain leading varieties are invariably required as the work of laying out and planting grounds 

 progresses, and while these trees will about double in value every year, there is the still greater advan- 

 tage of having them on hand when wanted, besides the advantage of the additional transplanting. It 

 s but slight labor or expense to prepare an acre or more for this purpose, and the little care of cultiva. 

 tion while the stock is in the nursery rows is amply repaid in the growth and increased value during 

 the season. 



From 5,000 to 6,000 of these trees can be advantageously planted per acre, with the rows 4 to 6 feet 

 apart, and the trees 18 inches to 2 feet in the rows. 



The following are the varieties recommended for this purpose, which I supply in nice transplanted 

 stock of different sizes, at the low net prices quoted : 



Beech, Norway Maple, 



Common Ash, Poplars, 

 Elms, Sycamore, 

 Lindens, White Birch, 



Honntain Ash, White Horse Chestnut. 



Prices: a to 4 and 4 to 6 feet, $50, $75 and $100 per 1,000. 

 EYEROREENS FOR TRANSPLANTING, 12 to 18, 18 to 24, and 24 to 30 inches, $40 to I75 per 1,000, net. 

 For varieties, etc., see Catalogue No. 36; also, Surplus List, inside back cover. 



Trees of Large Size for Immediate Effect. 



In many locations, trees of sufficient size for immediate shade and general effect are very desirable. 

 Most of the leading kinds of Maples, Elms, Lindens, Horse Chestnuts, Planes, Poplars, etc., can be 

 put out with perfect safety in autumn. 



As a rule, the medium sizes of these larger trees are preferable, those 10 to 12, 12 to 15, or 15 to 18 

 feet making better specimens after a few years than the extra large sizes. 



I shall be glad to quote, on application, prices for fine trees of the following, of different sizes, per 

 100 or in car lots, 2 to 3, 3 to 4, 4 to 5-inch caliper (diameter of trunk) : 



American Elm, Norway Maple, 



Ash-leaved Maple, Oriental- Plane, 



Carolina Poplar, Silver-leaved Maple, 



Catalpa, Sugar Maple, 



European Ash, White Birch. 



European Linden, White-flowering Horse Chestnnt. 



Smaller sizes of the above and others at lowest rates per 100 or 1,000. 



Choice Evergreens. 



As a rule. Evergreens for exposed situations should be planted in spring. In some places, how- 

 ever, they will do equally well put out in August or early autumn. When required for tubs or boxes, 

 or where there is a cold cellar, they can be sent to advantage almost any time, excepting a few weeks 

 when the new growth is most rapid, say in June. Of the following rare and choice kinds, as also the 

 common Arbor-vitses, Spruces, etc., I can make very favorable rates for fine transplanted, well-rooted, 

 well-furnished stock. Orders booked now for shipment at proper time in spring. 



ARBOR-VITa:, American, Siberian. Fine hedge 

 plants, of different sizes. 12 to 18 inches up to 

 5 and 6 feet ; special low prices per 100 and 1,000. 



CEDRTJS ATLANTICA GLAUCA. New and very 

 choice ; medium size, compact growth ; fine, 

 delicate leaves of a most beautiful glaucous 

 steel-blue tint ; color equal lo the finest of the 

 Colorado Blue Spruce. Has proved hardy at 

 Newport the past season. $2.50 to $5 each. 



Cedar of Lebanon {Cedrus Libani). Vigorous, 

 spreading branches, with large, dark green 

 foliage ; young growth tender. Choice. %\ 

 to ^2 each. 



Deodar Cedar (Cedrus Deodara). Graceful foli- 

 age of a light, silvery or glaucous-green. One 

 of the most beautiful and satisfactory Ever- 

 greens ; not entirely hardy north of Philadel- 

 phia. $1.50 to $2.50 each. 



I am very well satisfied with the maples and lindens.— St. Joseph Seminary, Yo.vkers, N. V.
