PYRAMIDAL ARBORVITAE. 
A superb, new and hardy sort, of very compact habit; much better than 
the Irish Juniper, and growing in a perfect column; rare and beautiful. 
Largely planted in cemeteries, owing to the small amount of space it occupies. 
This is, perhaps, the most valuable Arborvitae in cultivation. 
THE EUROPEAN LARCH. 
Is the greatest timber tree in Europe, combining rapid growth with great 
durability, extreme hardiness, adaptability to any variety of soil not too wet, 
and remarkably free from disease. It is also very desirable as an ornamental 
tree, its conical shape, regular, delicate branches, and soft, light, green leaves 
making a striking contrast to the different varieties of European and orna 
mental trees. Thrives well in Minnesota and the Dakota*. 
Useful PLules 
To Get the Number of Trees or Plants Required for an Acre. 
Divide the number of square feet in an acre (43,560) by the number of 
square feet each plant occupies. This is obtained by multiplying the distance 
between the rows by the distance between the plants. For example: Apple 
trees planted 33x16% feet gives each tree 544% square feet, or eighty trees to 
the acre.
