APPLE, The wood of the Woodapple (Malus sylvestris) being of ironlike 
hardness makes prohibitive its use as stock for domestic apple varieties. 
The French Cider Crab, a hybrid race between the Woodapple and 
our Table-Apple (Malus communis or pumila) combines the ruggedness 
of the former with the adaptability of the latter producing a wood 
which offers little resistance to the knife.

CONIFERS 
Plants of Merit (Insufficiently known in the trade): oz< ^Alh. Ib. 
LARIX europaea, European Larch, strain from Scotland, resistant to the leaf 
shedding disease. 
PICEA hursti, new and rare American Spruce from N. W. Ontario and British 
Columbia apparently intermediate between Picea canadensis and 
Picea pungens. In habit similar to the former and often found in 
specimens equaling in color a good silver foliaged Blue Spruce 
.80 pkt.; .75 Vi oz. 
PSEUDOTSUGA douglasi caesia, a strain from the Interior Northwest, 
intermediate between glauca and viridis. Originating in typical bad 
land country with severe winters and extreme heat and drought in 
summer, this variety is as hardy as glauca. It is much faster growing 
and has not the tendency to lose its lower branches at an early age. 
Foliage is of pleasant bluish-green color. A good forest tree to plant 
where the green form is not hardy and a fine ornamental in place 
of glauca. 
TSUGA caroliniana, Carolina Hemlock, the handsomest American Hemlock 
of dense bushy habit, hardy as far North as this and farther north 
if planted in wind-shelter.
