ABIES Frazeri (Sjuthern Balsam Fir) This fine Fir is generally a smaller tree 
than its near relation A. Balsamea, of the northern states, although in favored 
localities we have seen it reach the height of 45 to 50 feet. Its foliage, also, 
is shorter, denser and more erect, while its shape is more compact. It inhabits 
only the highest mountains of the Alleghanies ; perfectly hardy. 6 to 9 in. . .$0 15 $1 00

to 40 feet high, and bearing masses of scarlet berries in the fall and winter ; 
the dark prickly evergreen foliage is unsurpassed. 6 to 9 inches 20 2 00 
9 to 12 inches 3° 3 00 
I. Cassine (Youpon Holly). A handsome shrub or small tree, with short spread- 
ing branches and abundant clustured wax-like' fruit ; one of the finest and 
most desirable of our native evergreen hollies. The small elliptical ovate 
leaves are exceptionally attractive. Strong plants 30 3 00 
I. Dahoon (Dahoon Holly). This is a larger tree than the preceding, with en- 
tire oblanceolate leaves, 2 to 3 inches long. All of these native hollies are 
fine for the lawn or park. Strong plants 3° 3 00 
KALMIA latifolia. See under Evergreen Shrubs. 
OLEA Americana (Olive). A small evergreen tree from north Florida, with whit- 
ish bark and dark purple fruit about the size of a pea ; the white clusters of 
flowers are very fragrant. 6 to 9 inches, strong 25 2 00 
PICEA nigra (Black Spruce). Very fine dense evergreen, especially if given 
plenty of room to grow in, when it becomes a thick cone-shaped tree ; fine 
for lawn or ornamental use. 9 to 12 inches 20 1 50 
1 to 2 feet 3° 2 50 
PINCS pungens (Table Mountain Pine). The cones of this pine remain on the 
branches for years, and being each season re-inforced by a new crop, very 
soon give the tree an odd and striking appearance. Quite an ornamental tree, 
which should be in every collection. Each. Doz. 
6 to 12 inches $0 20 
P. strobus (White Pine). The hand- 
somest and most ornamental of all 
our native pines ; will bear the shears 
well and becomes a graceful, symmet- 
rical tree, admired in any position ; a 
very rapid grower, giving almost im- 
mediate effect. 1 to 2 feet 25 f 2 00 
PRUNUS Caroliniana (Cherry-Laurel, 
Wild Orange). Belonging to the cher- 
ry family, but with glossy evergreen 
leaves ; a fine tree, blooming very 
early in spring, with white flowers in 
drooping racemes. 1 to 2 ft., fine ... 25 2 00 
RHODODENDRONS. See under Ever- 
green Shrubs. 
TSOGA Canadensis (Hemlock). Perhaps 
the finest native conifer. (See cut.) 
Its rich, delicate foliage, drooping 
branches and dense habit place it 
without a peer as a single lawn tree. 
Alfred H. Peters says of it : "It can 
be a stately lawn tree, a wide-spread- 
ing shrub or a most effective hedge 
plant, as you choose to make it ; yet 
in place of this matchless evergreen, 
we have imported the coarse Norway 
Spruce and the still coarser Scotch TSUGA canadensis (Hemlock).
