S. pentandra or laurifolia (Bay or Laurel-leaved Willow). A handsome, dense, 
round-headed tree, with straight trunk. Foliage large, dark, shining green, similar to 
that of the Laurel, and very ornamental. A fine tree for lawn, park, street, or sea-shore 
planting. Very desirable. 50 cents to $1.00 each. 
S. regalis (Royal Willow). One of the finest of the class, of dense habit of growth, 
and with very showy, silvery foliage. Excellent for contrast with other trees in groups. 
50 cents to $1.00 each. 
S. rosmarinifolia (Rosemary Willow). Long, narrow, silky foliage, with white 
under-surface. Dwarf, dense habit of growth. Grafted plants at a height of five feet 
produce a showy, globular effect. Fine for lawn planting. 75 cents each. 
Sophora Japonica (Japanese Sophora). One of the finest of ornamental flowering 
trees, being elegant in its shining green foliage, and in August, when covered with clusters 
of white bloom, it is highly attractive. It has such a different style of growth from that 
of most other trees that it is indispensable in both large and small gardens. For a lawn 
this is a really perfect tree. $1.00 each. 
Taxodium distichum (Deciduous or Southern Cypress). A beautiful, stately 
tree, with small, delicate, feathery, light-green foliage. We have some fine specimens 
that command the attention and praise of every visitor to our nursery, and it is hard to 
say why this beautiful tree is not more extensively used. 50 cents to $1.00 each. 
Tilia Americana (American Linden or Basswood). A rapid-growing, large¬ 
sized, beautiful native tree, with very large leaves and fragrant flowers. 
50 cents to $1.00 each. 
T. argentea (Willow-leaved European Linden). From Hungary. A vigorous- 
growing tree, of medium size and pyramidal form ; with cordate acuminate leaves, downy 
beneath and smooth above ; it is particularly noticeable among other trees by its white 
appearance. Its handsome form, growth, and foliage render it worthy, in our opinion, 
to be classed among the finest of our ornamental trees. $1.00 each. 
T. var. aurea (Golden-barked Linden). The golden-yellow twigs of this variety 
give it great beauty. $1.00 each. 
T. var. laciniata rubra (Red Cut-leaved Linden). This is a beautiful and distinct 
sort. Its cut leaves and red twigs are what give it its character. $1.00 each. 
T. var. rubra (Red-twigged European Linden). A fine variety, of medium size, 
with branches as red as blood. 75 cents each. 
Ulmus Americana (American White Weeping Elm). One of America’s noblest 
trees, and very valuable for street or lawn planting. 50 cents to $1.00 each. 
U. campestris (English Elm). An erect, lofty tree, of rapid, compact growth, with 
smaller and more regularly cut leaves than those of the American and darker colored 
bark. The branches project from the trunk almost at right angles, giving the tree a 
noble appearance. 75 cents and $1.00 each. 
U. var. purpurea (Purple Elm). The purple in this, while not so pronounced as in 
some other things, is enough to give it value as a purple-leaved tree. $1.00 each.

Trees, fifteen feet or more in height, and three to six inches in
