Purchasers are invited to visit our J^ursery and select the Plants desired 
Hemlock Spruce 
TSUGA canadensis. Common Hemlock; Hemlock 
Spruce. 60 to 70 ft. While the Hemlock is one of 
the most handsome of all conifers, it is not stiff and 
formal in appearance as so many of them are. The 
foliage is always a rich, dark green. It is desirable 
as a specimen, in a group, or as a hedge. It may 
be pruned and sheared and thus kept any desired 
size. 
T. canadensis, Sheared Specimens. 
ULMUS americana. American Elm. 70 to 80 ft. A 
majestic and graceful tree with a wide-spreading 
head. It is tall, long-lived, and characteristic to 
this country. 
U. pumila. Chinese or Siberian Elm. 50 to 75 ft. 
This is one of our fastest growing shade trees and 
is very desirable. It is of medium size, graceful, 
and hardy. Its rapid growth will surprise the most 
optimistic. 
VARNISH TREE Japanese. See Sterculia. 
Thuja occidentalis globosa. See page 27 
T. (Biota) orientalis. Chinese Arborvitae. 20 to 25 ft. Of 
a rather stiff, columnar habit, this plant has bright green, 
pressed foliage which turns bronze in the autumn. 
T. (Biota) orientalis aurea nana. Berckman’s Golden 
Arborvitae. 3 to 4 ft. Of a very dwarf and compact 
habit, this little plant, with its bright golden green color, 
is one of the most showy of all the Arborvitaes. It never 
loses its neat appearance. 
T. (Biota) orientalis Bakeri. Baker’s Compact Arborvitae. 
5 to 6 ft. This evergreen of fine pyramidal shape and tall 
columnar habit has soft, light green foliage. 
T. (Biota) orientalis excelsa. 5 to 6 ft. A dwarf, compact, 
bright green form. It is good to use where a small 
specimen is desired. 
TILIA americana. American Linden. 80 to 100 ft. This 
stately tree, of rapid growth, deserves its popularity. 
Its heart-shaped leaves furnish a dense shade and its 
flowers are attractive in the early summer. The demand 
for its wood to make light boxes for fruit, berries, and 
the like, has caused it to become scarce in the forests. 
Pyramidal Arborvitae. See page 27
