7 HOB*N, Double Pink. Similar to the Scarlet, with 
flowers bright pink. 
Double White. With the above it forms an orna¬ 
ment fit for any lawn. 
Cockspur {CratcEgus crus-galli). A horizontally- 
branched tree, extending its lower limbs widely 
along the ground. The foliage is thick and glossy, 
and it bears abundant red berries. 
Scarlet'fruited (C. coccinea). Has white flowers 
in May, and scarlet fruit in September. 
Zton^-thorned (C coccinea var. macrocaniha). 
This variety is distinguished by its curved spines, 
4 inches in length. Not previously cultivated. 
Punctata {C. punciaia). The last four are native 
species. They look well on a hillside or rough 
bank, grouped with cedars and bayberry. 
WALNUT. Valuable large trees. 
WILLOW. A large and varied class of trees adapted 
to lawns, for shade and quick screens, and for 
w'aterside planting. They are adapted to a great 
variety of soils, some sorts luxuriating even amid 
the salt spray of sea coasts. The ease with which 
they can be transplanted, and the brief time they 
require to form good sized trees, are other argu¬ 
ments in their favor. The bright bark and twigs 
of some Willows are beautiful in winter. 
Babylonian Weeping, For description, see un¬ 
der cut, page 14. 
Salamon’s Weeping. This is a marked improve¬ 
ment on the last, of which it is a variety. It grows 
tall and upright, and the ends of the current 
year’s twigs arch downward. It is not a mournful 
tree, but bright and cheerful, with its graceful, 
waving spray. 
Black. A tree of immense size, with broad ^ 
top. Large nuts ; wood dark brown. 
Butternut (White Walnut). A smaller tree 
than the Black Walnut. Nuts excellent, | 
Englisb (Madeira Nut, or Persian Walnut). | 
Although sometimes killed at the tops when 
young by our winters, it makes a handsome 
tree. The nuts are well known. 
A YOUWG PIN OAK. 
The best and most popular species for general planting. It 
differs from other Oaks in form, being sharply ovate, with the 
lower branches reaching toward the ground at a uniform angle, 
which distinguishes as far as it can be seen. The foliage is 
dense, finely divided. of a beautiful shining green. For avenue 
planting it is unsurpassed. It does well on both dry and 
wet ground. We have in the nursery trees 15 to 20 feet high, 
4 to 8 inches in diameter, with 8 to 10 feet spread of branches, 
that were transplanted in 1896 and 1897. Can also furnish trees 
on the tree-movers, low-branched, symmetrical trees 50 feet 
high, 20 inches in diameter, with 35 feet spread of top and roots. 
EUGENIE POPLAR. 
A variety of slightly wider form than the I.ombardy, 
and, like it, useful for breaking the monotony of 
rounded or even sky-lines in groups of trees. It 
grows rapidly into the distinct spire-llke form shown 
above, its smooth shaft overtopping other trees with 
a sentinel-like air. The leaves are small, glossy, and 
a fine, peculiar tint of clear, sun-lit green. The tree 
is clean and healthy in growth. The above en¬ 
graving shows a variety of Eugenie Poplar at Cold 
Spring Harbor, L. I.
