ment, except to note a few varieties in each class. We will be pleased to send to those desiring it, our full,

testing a large number of new and rare trees andfplants not catalogued.

We have a number of trees of various kinds, of large size, suitable for producing’immediate effect. I hose 
having home grounds to plant are cordially invited to visit our Nurseries during the summer and personally 
select their trees, which will be labeled and reserved until the transplanting season.

Lindens, Liquidambar, Norway, Sycamore and Silver Maples, Pin and Mossy-cup Oaks, Carolina and Japan 
Poplars, and Tulip Tree. 
Those wishing trees and shrubs in large quantities at low prices are invited to correspond, as we are familiar 
with the market, and can secure bargains.

BEECH. Large trees, having a sturdy trunk, smooth 
gray bark, and masses of lustrous foliage. 
American. A noble native tree. 
European. For description, see under cut. 
Purple. Deep purple foliage. 
BIRCH, White. A slender-branched, graceful tree, 
with silvery white bark. It groups well with 
Evergreens. 
CATALPA speciosa (Western Catalpa). A very 
rapid grower, with large heart-shaped leaves, and 
showy purple and white flowers in July. Thrives 
in all situations. Especially good for seaside 
planting. 
CHESTNUT, American. One of our finest native 
r—. trees, and a beautiful, quick-growing shade tree. 
ELM, American. A tree of strong growth, and lofty, 
sweeping gothic form. 
EUONYMUS (Strawberry Tree). Small trees, very 
ornamental in fall and winter with their showy 
red fruit. 
LINDEN, American. Large trees of regular ovate 
form and dense foliage. Fine for lawn or street 
planting. 
Silver-leaved, or White. This has dark, glossy 
leaves, downy white on the under side. 
MAGNOLIA. The profusion of large and beautiful 
flowers, richness of foliage, and dignified and lux¬ 
uriant expression, make the Magnolias the finest 
lawn ornaments. 
MAPLE. We believe our stock of Maples to be 
unequaled by any on the market. By several 
improvements in culture and pruning we produce 
a tree with a straight, stocky trunk, which will 
stand up under winds and the usual risks of the 
street; also a strong leader, or central branch, 
and a wide ovate top, whereby the tree can be 
trimmed up later as the lower branches spread 
over the street. A tree with single leader will 
bend with the wind, and not split like a tree with 
several leading branches. These trees are grown 
wide apart, and are dug with spade and fork, 
which leave abundant roots. Properly planted, a 
tree 15 to 18 feet high and 2 or more inches in 
diameter will live and grow as well as or better 
MAPLE, continued. 
than a tree an inch in diameter and 9 feet high. 
See illustration, page 14. 
Norway. The best all-round street tree for Long 
Island. It has strong branches and a round, solid 
head of dark foliage. Grows well in poor or 
dry soil. 
EUROPEAN BEECH. 
Dense foliage, that turns to a bright russet in the fall, and 
remains on the tree all winter.
