l^°We can furnish large specimens 20 to 25 feet 
high of the above varieties. 
BIRCH. This genus embraces a popular and highly 
ornamental class of trees. Their elegant, graceful 
appearance, silvery bark, slender branches, and 
light and airy foliage render them general favor- 
ites. We have a large and very fine stock for 
extensive planters.

and aromatic bark.

A very rapid-grow- 
ing tree, with large

leaves, and showy 
white and purple 
flowers in July. In 
much demand for 
timber planting, on 
account of its quick 
growth and dura- 
bility. Grows well

lawn tree. 25tosocts. 
Ksempferi. A small tree, flowering early, bearing 
cream-colored and purple flowers.

a vigorous tree, free from insect enemies. (See 
illustration, page 7.) $1 to $1.50. 
CERCIDIFHYLLUM Japonicum (Kadsura Tree). 
A new Japanese tree of large size, similar in form 
to our Tulip Tree. The leaves are small, and, 
when starting from the bud, are of a translucent 
pink, and as pretty as a spray of flowers. 
CHERRY, Plowering. A class of healthy and 
highly ornamental trees. 
Double White. This variety forms a broad-spread- 
ing, medium-sized tree. In May it is a mass of 
snow-white flowers.

finest pendulous trees for small or large lawns.

this variety makes a small, globular head of slender 
twigs, small leaves and double white flowers. A 
feeble grower. 
Mazzard. An upright-growing tree, which may be 
included in large plantations. 
Wild Black. The wild cherry of our hedgerows, 
which, in dry situations and under salt spray, re- 
tains a glossy foliage equal to the privet. It 
forms a large, fine tree. 
CHESTNUT, American. A tree of large size, im- 
posing character and rapid growth, taking rank 
with the oaks. When grown in the open it forms 
a broad, hemispherical-topped tree. Nuts sweet. 
See illustration of Formal Garden. 
Spanish. A similar 
tree, of which there 
are old specimens in 
this neighborhood. 
Japanese. To those 
who want a moder- 
ate-sized tree of 
quick growth, we 
recommend this.

Fruits. 
CYPRESS, Decidu- 
ous. For descrip- 
tion, see under cut. 
Weeping 1 . A variety 
of the above, of tall, 
narrow form. Al- 
though the tips of 
the branches hang 
down, it is not, prop- 
erly speaking, a 
weeping tree, but 
has the effect of the 
Lombardy poplar. 
DOGWOOD. Most 
people are familiar 
with the picturesque 
beauty of the Dog- 
wood trees, which 
light up the darkest 
forest valleys and 
fringe the woodland 
borders with white. 
It is a small tree, 
about 20 feet high, 
with wide-spread- 
ing branches, hold- 
ing the flowers in 
horizontal masses. 
The clusters of ber- 
ries and foliage are 
brilliant early in 
autumn, soon after the sumach and Virginia 
creeper turn, and before the oaks and maples 
change. As a single lawn specimen, or to plant 
in quantity with shrubs for screens, or with large 
trees, it is unexcelled. Trees of any size fur- 
nished. 
Red-flowering. A new variety, possessing all the 
good qualities of the species, with bright red 
flowers. 
Weeping. The central shoot grows upright, while 
the side branches curve symmetrically downward. 
Japanese. A rare and beautiful tree, with large, 
white, star-shaped flowers, in June; very distinct 
in appearance and time of flowering from the 
common Dogwood. 
ELM. The Elms are of much use in landscape plant- 
ing. The recently introduced pest, the striped 
Elm-leaf beetle, troubles the American Elm but 
little, and is rapidly disappearing. It has killed 
many foreign Elms where they are not sprayed. 
(See illustration, page 8.) 
American. A tree of strong growth, l'ofty, sweeping 
gothic form, of great elegance and grace. It forms 
majestic specimens when given room.
