habit, like the Lombardy Poplar. 75 cents, $1.00, and $1.50 each. 
RHUS (SUMACH). Showy foliaged, small trees, adapted to a great variety of 
soils. The Smoke tree is especially attractive at the season of the ripening of its flowers and 
seed. The other species have particularly ornamental foliage, and in some instances showy 
flowers in dense spikes followed by ornamental fruit. These sorts are especially valuable for 
grouping with other shrubs or trees for foliage effects. 
Rhus cotinus (Purple Fringe or Smoke Tree). A close-growing small tree, with 
round, glossy foliage, and showy, mist-like clusters of seed-vessels. 50 and 75 cents each. 
R. cotinus atropurpureus. A new variety of the well-known “Smoke tree,” with 
“smoke,” or the blossoms and seeds, of a blood color. One of the most beautiful things 
imaginable. Yery scarce. $1.00 each. 
R. glabra laciniata (Cut-leaved Sumac). A beautiful low tree or shrub, with 
leaves of very large size, deeply cut, aud drooping gracefully from the branches. 
Autumnal color, a rich red. 75 cents each. 
R. Osbeckii (Osbeck’s Chinese Sumac). A new variety. Fine, broad-headed tree 
with deep, glossy-green foliage of sub-tropical effect, which in the autumn assumes red¬ 
dish form and orange color. In July, numerous, broad terminal panicles of creamy 
white flowers add much to its beauty. 75 cents to $1.50 each. 
ROBINIA (LOCUST). Showy-foliaged trees, adapted to most soils, and thriving 
particularly well in poor, dry situations. All with showy flowers borne in dense, drooping 
panicles, and very abundant. All bloom in June. 
Robinia hispida (Rose Acacia). This is valued for its elegant clusters of rose-colored 
flowers in early June. The branches resemble a moss rose. 50 cents to $1.50 each. 
R. pseudo-acacia (Yellow Locust). A fair-sized tree, with feathery foliage, bearing 
racemes of yellowish, fragrant flowers. 50 cents to $1.50 each. 
R. pseudo-acacia foliis aureis (Yellow-leaved Locust). The foliage is a rich 
yellow, which combined with its laciness makes it one of the handsomest new ornamental 
trees we have. Very rare. 50 cents to $1.50 each. 
Salisburia (Maiden-hair Tree). See Gingko. 
SALIX (WILLOW). “ The Willows are a most useful and ornamental class of trees. 
Of rapid growth, fine habit, hardy, adapted to a great variety of soils, and easily transplanted, 
they can be used by planters to a great advantage. Several sorts are well known ; others 
have not received the attention they deserve ; for example, the Royal Willow, with its silvery 
foliage, is a striking tree and most effective in landscapes ; the Laurel-leaved, with handsome, 
shining, laurel-like foliage, and bright green bark in winter ; the Golden, with bright yellow 
bark in winter, and the Rosemary, with silvery foliage, are all meritorious. The ease with 
which they can be transplanted and the brief time they require to form good-sized trees are 
strong arguments in favor of their use.” (From E. & B.)

ing a great size, and commonly used for planting in wet places and along swamp roads.

S. vitellina Britzensis (Salmon-barked Willow). An equally showy sort, 
with salmon-colored branchlets and yellow larger limbs. This, as well as the last, will 
grow on any soil. 50 cents to $1.00 each. 
Six trees of one variety for the price of five; twelve trees for the price of ten.
