monotony of plantations of round headed trees. [See page 6.] 
SILVER flAPLE— One of the most graceful of the maple family—foliage light

on the dryestsoil. [>ee page 5.]

Rocky Mountain Evergreens. 
The climate of Rochester, for some unknown reason, is very hard on most vari¬ 
eties of Evergreens, consequently when we find a new Evergreen that succeeds per 
fectly here we can confidently recommend it as liable to be hardy in most any 
situation in which it may be planned. The three varieties of Rocky Mountain 
Snruce described below are absolutely hardy here. 
Douglas Spruce—In the rich valleys of Washington and Oregon this tree 
reaches a height of one hundred and fifty to two hundred feet with a trunk from five 
to ten feet in diameter. Downing, in describing one of these trees which he saw in 
England, says: “ It resembles most the Norway Spruce as one occasionally sees the 
finest form of that tree, having that graceful, downward sweep of the branches and 
feathering out quite down to the turf; but it is altogether more airy in form and of 
a richer and darker green color.” (See page 7 ) 
Concolor Spruce—Without doubt the finest of the Rocky Mountaia Ever¬ 
greens. Tree of graceful habit ; broad, handsome foliage, bluish above, silvery be 
noath. Of all fir trees best withstand heat and draught. (See page 7). 
Colorado Blue Spruce— (Ahies Pungens). We have some highly colored 
Bpocimoms of this remarkable Evergreen. [See page 7.] 
SHRUBS. 
DEUTZIA LEIIOINEI —A dwarf shrub growing two to three feet, hiph, similar 
to Doutzia Uracil is, but with larger flowers. [See page 8 ] 
SP1REA ANTHONY WATERER— Another fine dwarf shrub with rich, dark- 
red flowers that appear about July 16th. If the flowers are prevented from go’inp to 
seed the plant will bloom constantly till October. [See page 9 ] 
XANTHOCERAS SORBIFOLIA -(Hyacinth Tree or Chinese Chestnut). Flowers 
are bell shaped and grow in graceful, drooping clusters; resemble slightly both the 
Ilorso Chestnut and the Hyacinth Pe-als white, marked with yellow, purple at the 
baso. Tt is difficult to give an idea of this shrub in a written defcription, but we 
will guarantee that anv of our friends that plant a few of them will not be disap¬ 
pointed. [See page 9.]
