CHASE NURSERIES. 
BLACK. — (Nigra.) — A native species of large size and majestic form. Beautiful 
foliage. Deeply furrowed bark. The nut is round and very palatable. 
ENGLISH, or MADEIRA NUT. — (Regia.) — A handsome tree, larger than the but- 
ternut. Bears a very fine flavored round nut. 
WILLOW.- (Salix.)— 
ROSEMARY LEAVED. — (Rosmarinifolia. ) — Budded about five feet from the ground, 
this makes one of the most unique and ornamental of trees. The branches are 
feathery, the leaves silvery, and the form very round and compact. It can be 
transplanted in any soil with perfect safety, and will endure most any climate. 
We recommend it as worthy of a prominent position in every group. Never 
grows higher than ten feet. 
WEEPING ORNAMENTAL TREES. 
The superior grace and elegance of the weeping varieties render them especially 
adapted to the yard or lawn. In our list will be found all of the kinds which we deem 
particularly attractive. Customers will, however, be saved from disappointment if they 
will realize that it is impossible to deliver them from the nursery with the form and shape 
which they will attain with age. It can no more be done than fruit trees could be de- 
livered with the fruit on. 
ASH. — (Fraxinus. ) — 
GOLDEN-BARKED WEEPING. — (Aurea pendula.) — During the winter the bark is 
as yellow as gold, making a striking effect. When fully developed, it is about 
eight feet in height. 
BEECH — (Fagus.)— 
WEEPING.— (Pendula.)— Of wonderful grace and beauty when covered with its rich, 
luxuriant foliage, but quite ungainly in appearance when divested of its leaves. 
Grows to a height of thirty feet. 
BIRCH.— (Betula.)— 
V CUT-LEAVED WEEPING.— (Pendula laciniata.)— This tree is indeed a picture of 
delicacy and grace. It presents a combination of attractive characteristics of 
which no other variety can boast. Mr. Scott, in his "Suburban and Home 
Grounds," says of it: "No engraving can do it justice; like the palm trees of the 
tropics, it must be seen in motion, swaying in the lightest breeze, its leaves 
trembling in the heated air, its white bark glistening through the bright foliage 
and sparkling in the sun, to enable us to form a true impression of its character." 
Makes a large tree. Of but little beauty when delivered from the nursery, but it 
develops into a thing of beauty.
