Deciduous Trees 
These English Lindens were started in our Nursery forty-five years ago, planted on Wheatley road, and 
about 1875 were moved to Garden City. When the hotel at that place was enlarged they were moved to the resi- 
dence of Mr. William M. Baldwin, where they now stand. 
LINDEN. Tilia 
The Linden family comprises trees of the highest beauty, especially in the elliptical curves of their 
outlines, as all the species have an ovate, or egg-shaped form. The curves are so smooth and perfect 
as to excite general admiration. They all transplant readily and grow to a large size. For lawns 
and entrance drives they take first rank. 
Silver T, tomentosa; syn., T. argentea ; syn., alba. White Linden. Justly considered one of the 
handsomest of trees. In symmetry of form and dignity of bearing it is unsurpassed. The upper 
sides of the leaves are dark 
green. The foliage remains 
in healthy condition through 
drought and other unfavor- 
able conditions until late in 
autumn. (See illustration, 
preceding page. ) 
Spectabilis. T. tomentosa, var. % 
spectabilis. A noble tree, re- 
sembling the above, except 
that the lower sides of the 
leaves are green. 
Weeping Silver. T. petiolaris ; ■■ 
syn., T. argentea, var. pen- 
dula. This distinct and beau- 
tiful species is a tall tree with 
just the tips of the twigs grace- 
fully turning down. The lower 
branches arch to the ground, 
making a verdant tent. The 
foliage has the good qualities 
of the Silver Linden. We 
have specimens suitable for 
planting where a low- 
branched tree is needed in 
the landscape. It grows to 
a height of 60 feet and 
will f make a noble lawn Sma n.ieaved English Linden, from our Nurserv, in the French formal gar- 
Specimen. den at " Brookholt." Standard Privet by the sun-dial, and large moved Maple 
in the distance.
