THE CHASE NURSERIES 
THORN, or ENGLISH HAWTHORN (Crataegus). 
The thorns are dense, low-growing trees, and the varieties which we describe are 
exceedingly ornamental when in bloom. They also stand pruning well, and 
may be trained to assume picturesque tree forms. They are well adapted to 
small enclosures, are entirely hardy, and will thrive in all soils. 
DOUBLE PINK (Rosea flore pleno). A pretty tree at all times, but gorgeous 
in June, when it Is covered with double pink blossoms. 
DOUBLE WHITE (Alba flora pleno). A highly ornamental variety, on account 
of both foliage and flowers. Small, double white flowers. Blooms in June. 
Makes a pleasing contrast when planted with the pink and scarlet. 
" PAUL'S DOUBLE SCARLET (Coccinea fl. pi. Paulii). Sujierior to any other 
variety, and an elegant tree or shrub. The flowers are large, very double, 
borne in clusters, a rich crimson color, beautiful to behold. Blooms in June. 
TULIP TREE (Liriodendron). 
TULIPIFERA (White Wood, erroneously Yellow Poplar). A very large native 
tree. Pyramidal habit, with broad, fiddle-shaped leaves. Tulip-like flowers. 
WALNUT (Juglans). 
The walnuts are more suitable for large grounds and parks than for small en- 
closures. The nuts are valuable. They grow to a large size. 
BUTTERNUT (Cinera). A familiar native sort, bearing a rough oblong nut, 
highly prized. 
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 
butternut. Bears a. very fine flavored, round nut. 
WILLOW (Salix). 
ROSEMARY LEAVED (Eosmarinifolia). 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 com- 
pact. It can be transplanted in any soil with perfect safety, and will endure 
most any climate. Never grows higher than about ten feet. 
WEEPING ORNAMENTAL TREES. 
The superior grace and excellence 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 di.sappointment 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 delivered 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.
