Populus • Poplar 
The Poplars are as fast growing trees as any in 
our list, and enter into general use for screen pur- 
poses or street planting. 
Populus alba (White, or Silver Poplar). B. Rapid 
in growth, with spreading habit. Leaves white as 
snow, underneath upper surface green. Will grow in 
any soil. 6 to 8 ft., 50 cts. each, $4 for 10; 8 to 10 ft., 
75 cts. each, $0 for 10. 
P., var. Bolleana. B. A recently introduced tree 
of much value. Its habit is like the Lombardy Poplar 
but, unlike the latter, is a long-lived tree. Its bark is 
bluish gray, with dark green tremulous leaves, white 
beneath. It is so superior to the Lombardy Poplar 
that it should be generally planted. 6 to 8 ft., 60 cts. 
each, S5 for 10; 8 to 10 ft., 75 cts. each, $6 for 10; to 
to 12 ft., $1 each, $9 for 10. 
Populus monilifera 
P. balsamifera (Balsam Poplar). B. Large glossy 
foliage, luxuriant growth. Holds its foliage well in 
autumn. 6 to 8 ft., 50 cts. each, $4 for 10. 
P. monilifera (Carolina, or Cottonwood Poplar). B. 
We think this is the best Poplar for general use. It is 
good in almost any location, thriving at the seashore 
in poor, sandy soil. It forms a fine-shaped, spreading 
tree, with large, dark, glossy leaves, and for screens 
is uncqualed. 8 to 10 ft., 50 cts. each, $4.50 for 10, 
$40 per 100; 10 to 12 ft., 75 cts. each, $6 for 10; 12 to 
15 ft., $1 each, $9 for 10. 
P., var. Van Geertii (Golden Poplar). B. A golden 
foliaged form of the preceding. Very constant and 
valuable for color contrast in planting. 6 to 8 ft., 50c. 
each, $4.50 for 10. 
POPULUS, continued 
P. nigra fastigiata (Lombardy Poplar). A. A 
well-known tree of narrow, upright growth, with 
light green, small leaves. Largely used for quick 
effects. A short-lived tree and generally, when old, 
it loses much of the attractiveness of its young state. 
8 to 10 ft., 50 cts. each, $4.50 for 10, $35 per 100; 
10 to 12 ft., 75 cts. each, $6 for 10; 12 to 15 ft., $r 
each, $9 for 10. 
P., var. pendula. C. Grafted on high stems and 
forming a parasol-shaped weeping tree, which can 
be recommended as beautiful and valuable, as it is 
not a stiff, formal tree. 6 to 8 ft., $1.50 
P. tremuloides (American Aspen). A. A popular, 
small-leaved species. Valuable. 6 to 7 ft., 50 cts. 
each, 84 for 10. 
Prunus • Plum 
Prunus Pissardi (Purple-leaved Plum). C. Hand- 
some form, with purple leaves and wine-red fruits; 
one of the best of the small purple-leaved trees, re- 
taining its color until fall. Hardy wherever the com- 
mon Plum will stand. 3 to 4 ft., 30 cts. each, $2.50 
for 10; 4 to 5 ft., 50 cts. each, $4 for 10. 
P. triloba (Flowering Plum). C. Usually grafted 
on stems 5 to 6 feet in height; large, double, pink 
flowers resembling roses. 2 to 3 ft., 40 cts. each, $3 
for 10; 3 to 4 ft., 50 cts. each, $4 for 10; 5 to 6 ft., 60c. 
each, $5 for 10. 
Ptelea • Hop Tree 
Ptelea trifoliata. B. A low, handsome tree, with 
glossy, trifoliate leaves. The seeds are produced in 
clusters resembling hops, and when bruised give out 
the odor of hops. An excellent small tree. 3 to 4 ft., 
30 cts. each, $2.50 for 10: 4 to 5 ft., 50 cts. each, $ 4 for 
10; 5 to 6 ft., 60 cts. each, $5 for 10. 
P., var. aurea (Golden Hop). B. Like the above, 
but having bright golden foliage, which, unlike most 
other yellow-leaved subjects, does not fade, but re- 
tains its brilliant color until frost. One plant lights 
up an entire group in border. Does best as a shrub. 
3 to 4 ft., 50 cts. each, $4 for 10. 
Pyrus • Flowering Apple 
Under this head are included the dwarf Japan 
Flowering Apples, which have beauty enough to 
warrant their cultivation in every garden. 
Pyrus angustifolia (Bechtel’s Double-flowering 
Crab). A variety which we consider the best flower- 
ing Crab ever introduced. The tree is of medium 
growth, and the flowers of immense size, of a beauti- 
ful pink color, are highly fragrant. They are very 
double and rese'mble pink roses. 3 to 4 ft., 75 cts. 
each, $6 for 10; 4 to 5 ft., 90 cts. each, $8 for 10. 
P. baccata (Siberian Crab). C. Small, spreading 
tree, with compact crown; smooth in all its parts; 
growth hardy and wiry; flowers double, delicate 
blush color; very fine. 2" to 3 ft., 25 cts. each, $2 for

Covered in May with rose-colored violet-scented 
flowers. 2 to 3 ft., 50 cts. each, $4 for 10.
