MISCELLANEOUS FRUITS. 
Particular attention is called to those fruits which are described under their 
proper names in the body of the Catalogue. The value of nut trees for ornamental 
purposes has been largely overlooked. There is no good reason why our aveniies 
and lawns should not in many cases be planted with trees that combine utility with 
their individual and highly ornamental characteristics.
