TREES 
adapted  for  planting  in  front  of  evergreen  bor- 
ders, or  in  groups  for  color  effect  or  for  individ- 
ual planting  in  prominent  places.  They  are 
reliably  hardy  in  all  but  the  coldest  sections 
of  the  United  States,  transplant  easily  and 
mature  quickly. 
Acer  polymorphum.  (D)  This  is  the  parent  of 
most  of  the  other  varieties.  It  is  the  tallest 
grower  and  as  hardy  as  any.  The  small  green 
leaves  are  not  cut  so  deeply  as  those  of  other 
kinds.  It  has  bright  green  foliage  in  spring  and 
summer,  and  in  the  fall  the  leaves  are  often  of 
different  shades,  some  scarlet,  some  yellow,  and 
some  trees  have  both  tints  upon  their  foliage. 
But  whatever  color  it  is,  there  is  a  gorgeous 
showing.  Each  Doz. 
2  to  3  feet  $1  00    $10  00

var.  atropurpureum.  (D)  A  blood-leaved  sort 
that  holds  its  dark  coloring  throughout  the  season. 
3  to  4  feet  $5  00 
var.  dissectum.  (VD)  This  is  a  low,  spreading 
form  with  very  deep  and  delicately  cut  green 
leaves.  Used  at  the  front  of  collections  or  as  an 
individual.  As  this  is  more  dwarf  than  the  other 
kinds,  our  plants  will  probably  not  be  so  large. 
1^  to  3  feet  $4  to  $6 
var.  dissectum  purpureum.  (VD)  A  purple- 
leaved  form  of  the  above. 
2  to  2h  feet  $5  00 
var.  sanguineum,  var.  crispum.  Blood-leaved 
Japan  Maple.  (D)  This  variety  has  leaves  simi- 
lar in  shape  to  the  above,  purple  in  spring,  chang- 
ing as  the  season  advances  to  a  coppery  hue  in 
the  fall.  One  of  the  best  varieties.

/Esculus  •  Horse-Chestnuts 
As  ornamental  flowering  trees  the  Horse-Chest- 
Quts  deserve  more  appreciation.  Suitable  for  shade 
and  avenues.  They  curiously  unfold  their  leaflets 
in  early  spring  and  in  May  are  covered  with  great 
spangles  of  flowers  that  contrast  beautifully  with 
their  deep  green  foliage.

The  common  white-flowering  variety. 
10  to  12  ft.,  If  to  2  in.  cal.  $2.50  each,  $27.50

Ailanthus 
Ailanthus  glanulosa.  Chinese  Sumac,  Tree  of 
Heaven.  (L)  A  lofty,  rapid-growing  shade 
tree,  with  feathery  tropical-looking  foliage. 
It  probably  withstands  the  smoke  and  gases 
of  cities  better  than  any  other  tree.  Each  Doz

Alnus  •  Alders 
Alnus  glutinosa.  European,  or  Common  Alder. 
(L)  This  is  a  rapid-growing  tree,  having  dull 
green  foliage  and  catkins  in  early  spring.  It  is 
particularly  well  suited  for  wet  places,  and  will 
do  well  where  many  other  trees  fail.  We  recom- 
mend the  Alders  for  seashore  planting,  believing 
them  especially  adapted  for  that  use. 
10  to  12  feet  .  $1.25  each,  $12  per  doz.,  $65  per  100 
A.  incana.  Speckled  Alder.  (L)  Much  resem- 
bles the  former  in  habit  of  growth  and,  while  it 
too  does  well  in  moist  places,  it  is  also  happy  in 
dry  and  more  meager  soils. 
10  to  12  feet  .  $1.25  each,  $12  per  doz.,  $65  per  100 
var.  laciniata.  Cut-leaved  Alder.  (M)  Fine, 
feathery  foliage  makes  this  tree  more  ornamental 
than  the  parent  form. 
5  to  6  ft.  .  75  cts.  each,  $7.50  per  doz.,  $50  per  100 
Andromeda 
Andromeda  arborea ;  syn.,  Oxydendrum  arborea. 
Sorrel  Tree.  (D)  A  very  ornamental  little  tree 
with  handsome  foliage.  The  leaves  are  oblong 
and  dark,  shiny  green  in  spring  and  summer ;  in 
autumn  they  turn  the  most  brilliant  shades  of 
crimson.  It  is  a  very  nice  plant  to  use  with  tall 
shrubbery  or  along  the  borders  of  woods  or  as  a 
specimen.  It  withstands  some  shade  and  grows 
easily.  In  July  panicles  of  little  lily-of-the-val- 
ley  shaped  flowers  are  profusely  borne.

Aralia 
Aralia  Japonica.  Chinese  Angelica  Tree.  (S) 
Very  similar  to  the  more  common  Aralia  spi)iosa 
described  below.  Less  prickly  and  probably 
more  hardy.  Etich  Doz. 
2  to  3  feet  $0  35    $3  50

A.  spinosa.  Hercules'  Club.  (S)  The  stout 
prickly  stems,  the  large  leavies,  and  the  enor- 
mous clusters  of  white  flowers  give  it  a  tropical 
eftect.  Good  for  poor  soils.
