TREE5 AND Plants. 
WE call especial attention to our stock of hardy ornamental trees, shrubs and plants, which consists only of the 
choicer and more select varieties of the various classes suitable for permanent outdoor decorations. Those 
marked with a star (*) are staple varieties, and of these we carry an unlimited stock, of which we can supply 
large quantities at specially low rates. Everything that follows is entirely hardy, during our ordinary winters, as far 
north as Canada. Some of the species are also grown as gi-eenhouse plants, but are hardy with slight protection ; all 
such are specifically mentioned.
