Silver Fir— Eurofean Silver, {Pkca peclinataA) A noble evergreen of the larg¬ 
est size when lully grown ; when young, it somewhat resembles the 
Balsam Fir, but its leaves are larger and broader, and the cones much 
larger. The tree is liable to lose its leading shoots. 
B.alsam, or American Sila ei^, {P. halsameaP) A veiy regular, S3unmetrical 
tree, assuming the conical form even when )^oung; leaves dark green

foliage is the finest of all the Firs. Quite hardy. $1. 
Spruce Fir— Norway Sprl'CE, {Adics exceba.) One of the handsomest and most 
popular of evergreens ; when young, the tree is remarkably rich and 
luxuriant ; as it grows older, its branches droop with a fine graceful 
curve or sweep, some specimens, however, more than others ; and when 
covered with its large pendant cones, it is an object exceedingly pictur¬ 
esque and beautiful. Plants of all sizes can be furnished. Makes fine 
hedges. 
Black Spruce, or Doublp: Spruce, {A. nigra.) Leaves quite short and stiff, 
clothing the young branches around the whole surface, and of a peculiar 
bluish green color. The whole tree, when large, has rather a dark and 
sombre hue, but very rich—contrasting finel}^ with the livelier tints 
of other species.

burns some in Winter in this locality; $r. 
Hemlock Spruce; Common Hemlock, {A. Canadensis.) When finely

American Upright, (y. coniniunispendula.) A remarkably prett}- little tree,
