THE CHASE NURSERIES. 
SYCAMORE (Platanus). 
ORIENTAL (P. orientalis). As an ornamental tree for large grounds, or 
as a shade tree for street planting, this has no superior. It is a rapid 
grower, attains a large size, and presents a striking combination of 
majesty and gracefulness. The foliage is heavy, and not subject to 
the ravages of insects. 
THORN, or ENGLISH HAWTHORN (Cratjegus). 
The thorns are dense, low-growing trees, and the varieties which we de- 
scribe are exceedingly ornamental when in bloom. They also stand 
pruning well, and may be trained to assume picture.sque tree forms. 
DOUBLE PINK (Rosea flore pleno). A pretty tree at all times, but gor- 
geous in June, when it is covered with double pink blossoms. 
DOUBLE WHITE (Alba flore pleno). A highly ornamental variety, on 
account of both foliage and flowers. Small, double white flowers. 
Blooms in June 
PAUL'S DOUBLE SCARLET (Coccinea fl. pi. Paulii). The flowers are 
large, very double, borne in clusters ; a rich crimson color. 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 
enclosures. The nuts are valuable. They grow to a large size. 
BUTTERNUT (Cinera). A familiar native sort, bearing a rough, ob- 
long nut. 
BLACK (Nigra). A native species, of large size and majestic form. Beau- 
tiful 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 (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 round and 
compact. 
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 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.
