THE CHASE NURSERIES, GENEVA, N. Y. 
PEACH— Persica. 
The double flowered varieties are distin- 
guished for their showy and beautiful bloom. 
At the blossoming season in May every branch- 
let is covered with a mass of beautifully 
formed, highly colored flowers, rendering the 
trees most interesting objects and attracting 
notice from a distance. The double red, dou- 
ble rose, and double white varieties, planted 
in a group, produce a charming effect. 
Double White-flowered Peach.— Very orna- 
mental. Flowers pure white and double; su- 
perb. Perfectly hardy. 
Double Red-flowered Peach. — Flowers semi- 
double, bright red; superb. 
Double Rose-flowered Peach. — Flowers dou- 
ble, pale rose-colored, like small roses. Very 
pretty. 
PLANE TREE— Platanus. 
Oriental Plane.— (Orientalis)— Leaves heart 
slmiic at base, deeply cut. Is among our tall- 
est trees, growing rapidly into massive propor- 
tions. Hardy and free from disease. It does 
well in cities and near the seashore, and is 
not affected by insects.

shrub or small tree; leaves narrow and sil- 
very white, flowers, yellow and fragrant; very 
hardy. 
Lombardy Poplar 
POPLAR— Populus. 
BoUes' Poplar. — A very compact, upright 
grower, resembling the Lombardy Poplar, with 
leaves glossy green above and silvery beneath. 
A splendid tree. 
Carolina Poplar.— Pyramidal in form and 
robust in growth; leaves large, glossy, serrated, 
pale to deep green. Valuable for street plant- 
ing, also for screens. Very rapid grower. 
Lombardy or Italian Poplar.— Attains a 
height of from 100 to 150 feet. Well known 
and remarkable for its erect, rapid growth and 
tall, spiry form. Indispensable in landscape 
gardening, to break the ordinary and monoto- 
nous outlines of most other trees. 
Norway Poplar.— (Sudden Sawiog)— Tree 
very hardy; is being planted quite extensively 
in many sections. Similar to Carolina Poplar 
in growth and appearance, but is claimed to 
oe of more rapid growth and retains its size 
better as it mounts upward, and thus produces 
more lumber. Will thrive in most any soil 
or location. Valuable for s';reet and park 
planting and also for screens and shelter belts. 
White or Silver Poplar, or Silver Abele.— 
From Europe. A tree of wonderfully rapid 
growth, and wide spreading, habit. Leaves 
glossy green above and white as snow beneath. 
Prunus Pissardii (Purple Leaved Plum) — 
The tree is a decided contrast in itself. The 
leaves as they first appear, on the tips are a 
oeautiful orange color, and they mature to a 
rich purple, clear and distinct, growing darker 
as the season advances. The leaves remain 
until late in the fall— a decided contrast to 
other shrubs. 
SALISBURIA, MAIDEN-HAIR TREE OR 
GINKGO. 
A rare, beautiful tree from Japan, with re- 
markable fern-like foliage, distinct and fine. 
Especially desirable for planting on lawns or in 
dooryards. A rapid grower.

The Thorns are among the most beautiful 
flowering trees. They are generally dense, 
low growers, occupying comparatively little 
space and well adapted to beautify small 
grounds. The foliage is varied and attractive, 
flowers very showy and often highly perfumed. 
The fruit is very effective and ornamental in 
autumn. 
Double Scarlet.— (Coecinea fl. pi.)— Flowers 
deep crimson with scarlet shade; very double 
and considered larger than the double red; fine 
rich foliage.
