THE CHASE NURSERIES. 
WILLOW (Salix). 
KILINIARNOCK (Caprea pendula). The best known and most universally 
planted of the finer weeping ornamental trees. 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. 
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 circumstances, a large percentage are liable to fail. In the hands of 
amateurs, failure 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.
