HILE  the  stock  at  Glenwood  offered  this  spring  of 
1902  is  of  unusual  excellence  and  variety,  and  espe- 
cially notable  for  the  care  with  which  it  has  all 
been  grown  and  cultivated,  there  are  some  items  to 
which  it  is  deemed  best  to  call  especial  attention. 
These  trees  and.  shrubs  are  all  particularly  available  for 
immediate  planting  and  effect,  and  include  the  best  things. 
J\^dpl€S.  Our  trees  of  both  SUGAR  and  NORWAY  MAPLES  are 
exceptionally  fine.  They  have  been  grown  far  apart,  and  frequently 
transplanted  and  root-pruned.    See  page  4. 
The  Japanese  Maples  (see  Plate  II)  we  have  in  great  variety,  with 
specially  good  specimens  of  the  dark-leaved  sorts.    See  page  5 
O dks •  The  old  idea  that  an  Oak  cannot  be  grown  to  respectable 
size  and  to  decorative  effect  in  an  ordinary  lifetime  has  been  exploded. 
Vigorous,  healthy,  well-nurtured  trees,  properly  handled,  give  a  prompt, 
fine  and  permanent  effect.    Our  trees  of  all  the  best  sorts  are  very  fine. 
We  mention  especially  the  PiN  Oak,  the  most  rapid  in  growth,  and 
satisfactory  in  effect.  It  is  a  magnificent  tree  for  avenues,  parks  and 
lawns.    Plate  III  shows  lusty  young  trees  on  a  lawn.    See  page  10. 
Andromeda  arborea.  or  Sorrel  Tree,  is  a  most  desirable  lawn 
tree  or  large  shrub.    See  page  12. 
Catalpa  Bungei,  with  its  rounded  head  and  rich  tropical  leaves  on 
tall  stems,  is  exceedingly  effective  on  the  lawn  (See  Plate  XIV).  We 
have  a  large  supply  of  superb  specimens.    See  page  6. 
Cut-leaved  Weeping  Birch,  a  most  graceful  and  delicate 
tree,  is  effective  from  the  start.    Our  trees  are  in  fine  shape.    See  page  6. 
Purple  Beech  gives  a  distinct  color  note  on  the  lawn,  and  forms  a 
most  beautiful  rounded  head.    We  have  perfect  specimens.    See  page  7. 
T)ogwoods  ace  wonderfully  effective.  We  have  fine  trees  of  both 
white-  and  red-flowering  sorts.    See  pages  13,  15  and  28. 
Ginkgo,  or  Salisburia,  the  "Maidenhair  Fern  Tree,"  is  of  peculiarly 
effective  character.    It  makes  an  ideal  avenue  tree.    See  page  13. 
Oriental  Plane,  or  European  Buttonwood,  is  among  the  very 
best  trees  of  rapid  growth.  It  gives  a  quick  effect,  and  is  most  desir- 
able.   We  have  an  exceptionally  fine  stock.    See  page  14.
