DECIDUOUS TREES 
ABBREVIATIONS 
Under this head we include both upright and drooping forms of trees which shed their foUage in 
Winter. For the convenience of the planter in making selection, we designate the approximate height at 
maturity, and the rapidity of growth by use of the following letters: 
Denoting Size : L, trees that attain a height of 50 feet or more; M, trees that attain a height of 25 to 50 
feet; S, trees that attain a height of 10 to 25 feet; D, dwarf; VD, very dwarf. 
Denoting Rapidity of Growth: r, rapid; m, medium; s, slow; v, vigorous. 
SPECIAL NOTES 
In this list we include only those species and varieties which have been thoroughly tested and found 
worthy of general cultivation in our rigorous New England climate. Our trees have been several times 
transplanted, and are furnished with a perfect root system. 
We have extra large specimens of many varieties; prices and sizes quoted on application. Special 
quotations will be given on shade trees in quantities. 
It is impossible to give in a catalogue of moderate size an adequate idea of the stock contained in a large nursery 
like ours. We have given prices on ordinary commercial sizes of the varieties listed. Should larger sizes be required, 
we can furnish them at correspondingly increased prices. The stock is growing from year to year and if at any 
time we are not able to furnish the size called for, we shall furnish the next size thereto and charge accordingly
