THE CHASE NURSERIES. 
WILLOW (Salix). 
KILMARNOCK (Caprea pendiila). The best known and most universally planted 
of the finer weeping ornamental trees. Its great hardiness, vigorous growth, 
adaptability to all soils, easy culture, fine form, and unique appearance render 
it a general favorite. It is budded on cromwell stock, about five feet from 
the ground, and forms a perfect umbrella-shaped head in a very few years, 
without pruning or training. It does not grow in height, but the branches 
droop gi-acefully to the ground. It occupies very little space, and will thrive 
near larger trees, and is, therefore, invaluable for small enclosures. It is also 
well adapted for cemetery lots. 
NEW AMERICAN (Americana pendula). Grafted about five feet high. An 
interesting variety, with delicate leaves and slender branches. Quite gTaceful 
and ornamental. Never grows large. 
EVERGREEN TREES. 
Evergreens are exceedingly difficult to transplant, and they should never be set in 
the fall. Even when planted in the spring, and under the most favorable circum- 
stances, a large percentage are liable to fail. In the hands of amateurs, I'ailure is 
almost certain in all cases. For this reason we do not like to sell evergreens, yet we 
can supply the varieties described below when desired. We cannot furnish sorts not 
named in this catalogue. 
ARBOR VIT-iE (Thuja). 
AMERICAN (Occidentali.s). A native variety, valuable for hedges. Stands 
shearing well. 
HOVEY'S GOLDEN (Hovey). A seedling from the American. Yellowish green 
foliage. Quite dwarfish. 
SIBERIAN (Sibiricus). The hardiest variety. Good for hedges and screens, and 
the best for single specimens on the lawn. 
TOM THUMB. A very pretty dwarf variety of the American. Valuable for 
small enclosures or low hedges. Compact growth. 
CYPRESS (Cypressus). 
LAWSON'S (Lawsonia). Makes a large tree, with drooping branches and dark 
green foliage. 
JUNIPER (Juniperus). 
IRISH (Hibernica). A small tree or shrub of conical shape, very erect and 
den.se. Desirable for cemeteries.

stiff, dark green. Makes a large, spreading tree.
