tree with broad, spreading and drooping head. 
Very valuable for shade or timber. Hardy and 
succeeds well on most any soil, even a‘dapted to 
low, wet black soils. 
HORSE CHESTNUT 
WHITE FLOWERING — Decidedly the finest va¬ 
riety of this family. Makes a beautiful tree of 
regular outline. Exceedingly hardy and free 
from all diseases. Covered in May with magni¬ 
ficent white flowers tinged with red. Forty 
to fifty feet when fully grown. 
MAGNOLIA 
By many considered the finest and most beau¬ 
tiful small tree to be had. Owing to difficulty 
in transplanting, unless taken up with the earth 
on the roots, we handle only the imported Hol¬ 
land plants, which are always taken up in that 
way. These are perfectly hardy here, and it is 
very seldom that one fails to grow. They are 
fine specimen plants aboiit four feet tall, and 
well set with buds which bloom the first season. 
SOXJLANGEANA — Shrubby and branching while 
young, but becoming a fair sized free. Flowers 
white and purple, cup shaped and three to five 
inches in diameter. Flowers large, glossy and 
massive. W'e recommend this as the best. 
SOULANGEANA NIGRA— Immense blackish 
flowers blooming later than the preceding, and 
tree a little more dwarf growing. 
MAPLE (Japanese) 
DARK PURPLE LEAVED— Forms a bushy 
shrub; foliage dark purple and deeply cut; 
very ornamental. The hardiest and altogether 
the best of the Japan Maples. One of the choi¬ 
cest small trees or shrubs in the catalogue. 
BLOOD LEAVED — Of dwarf habit and rounded 
form; foliage five-lobed and serrated: reddish 
crimson in June and remaining reddish most 
all season; one of the very best. 
SCHWEDLER’S MAPLE 
MAPLE 
The vigorous growth, fine form, hardiness, free¬ 
dom from disease, and adaptability to all soils, 
renders the maple one of the 
best of trees for the purpose 
of shade. It has few equals 
for the street or park. 
ASH LEAVED—A hardy na¬ 
tive sort. Ash-like foliage, 
spreading head. Rapid growth. 
Hardy. 
SUGAR OR ROCK—The well 
known native variety. Valu¬ 
able for the street or park. 
Fifty to sixty feet when fully 
grown. 
NORWAY (Platanoides) — 
Large, compact habit, and 
broad, deep, green, shining 
foliage. A stout, vigorous

fifty feet when grown. 
SCHWEDLERI — A beautiful 
variety of Purple Leaf Norway 
with long shoots and leaves 
of bright purple and crimson 
color, which change to purplish 
green on the older leaves. 
SILVER LEAVED OR WHITE 
—Foliage bright green above 
and silvery underneath. An 
exceedingly rapid grower, and 
makes a large tree. 
WIER’S CUT LEAVED — 
Grows rapidly, and the shoots 
arc so slender and drooping 
that it has a decidedly grace- 
hil appearance. The leaves 
are deeply and delicately cut. 
A large tree if undisturbed, but 
will stand severe pruning, and 
so may be easily adapted to 
small places.
