SILVER-LEAVED, or WHITE,-(Dasycarpum.)-Fcliage bright green above and 
/ silvery underneath. An exceedingly rapid grower. Makes a very large tree. 
* WIER'S CUT-LEAVED. — (Wierii Laciniatum. ) — A beautiful and remarkable tree, 
that needs only to be seen to be appreciated. It grows very rapidly, and the 
shoots are so slender and drooping that it has a decidedly graceful appearance. 
The lea ves are deeply and delicately cut. While it makes a large tree if undisturbed, 
it will bear any amount of pruning, and may be easily adapted to small places. 
MOUNTAIN ASH.— (Sorbus.) \ , 
These are highly ornamental trees, particularly when covered with their bright scarlet 
berries. 
AMERICAN.— (Americana.)— Of coarser growth and foliage than the European, and 
having larger berries of a lighter color. White blossoms appear in early spring, 
followed by clusters of scarlet berries, which remain through the winter. 
EUROPEAN. — (Aucuparia. ) — A more desirable variety than the American, being of 
finer growth and form. It blossoms during the early spring, after which the 
bright scarlet berries are formed in clusters and remain throughout the fall and 
winter months. Twenty to thirty-five feet. 
OAK-LE WED. — (Quercifolia.) — One of the finest lawn trees, and very showy whether 
in bloom or berry. It forms a compact, pyramidal head. The leaves are bright 
green above and downy beneath. The blossom is white, forming in early spring. 
The berries appear after the bloom, and remain during the winter. Very hardy. 
We regard it as one of our very best ornamental trees. Twenty to twenty-five feet. 
MULBERRY. — (Morns.) — 
These are broad, low branching, large leaved, fruit-bearing ornamental trees, the 
demand for which is steadily increasing. They make large sized trees. 
DOWNING. — (Multicaulis.) — A very pretty lawn tree, bearing fruit of good quality. 
Remains in fruit for about three months. 
"I regard it as an indispensable addition to every fruit garden; and I speak what I 
think when I say I had rather have one tree of Downing's Everbearing Mulberry 
than a bed of strawberries."— Henry Ward Beecher. 
NEW AMERICAN.— A new variety said to be superior to the Downing. 
RUSSIAN. — An extremely hardy, rapid growing tree from Russia. The foliage is 
abundant and attractive ; said to be very desirable for silk worms. The timber is 
also valuable. Makes a large tree. 
OAK — (Quercus.)— 
Where extreme hardiness and large size are wanted, the oak is desirable. 
AMERICAN WHITE.— (Alba.)— The best known native sort. Makes an immense 
tree, with long spreading branches. Absolutely hardy. 
SCARLET.— (Coccinea.)— A native species. Foliage changes in autumn to a bright 
scarlet. 
PEACH.— (Persica.) , 
The varieties we describe are truly superb when in bloom, and where something dis- 
tinct and attractive is desired they .will give satisfaction. They are easy to grow, 
and attain a height of eight to ten feet.
