Camperdown Elm.
Camperdown Elm.
This old favorite is the largest of the ‘ ‘umbrella-
topped” trees; foliage large, growth spreading and
pendent. It produces dense shade and is the best
arbor tree for lawns.
American Elm.
This well known tree ranks among the very best
for avenue or park, especially in deep or wet soil.
It grows rapidly and makes tough branches, rarely
being damaged by wind or snow. Its spreading
head, drooping branches and stately growth give
it the name of the “Monarch of the Forest.”
Catalpa — Speciosa.
This medium to large tree with its tropical-like
foliage and its pyramids of white flowers is wrorthy
a place in every collection.
Catalpa— Bungei
Aralia Spinosa.
Angelica Tree, or Hercules Club.
[Aralia Spinosa.]
A singular looking, small sized tree with very
prickly stems, pinnate leaves, and bearing im-
mense panicles of white flowers in midsummer.
Very useful to give a tropical effect to gardens and
for odd looking clumps for background.
Ailanthus — Tree of Heaven.
From Japan. A lofty, rapid growing tree, with
long, elegant, feathery foliage, exempt from dis-
ease and insects. One of the most distinct of
ornamental trees, with pinnate foliage. Useful to
produce tropical effects.
Bechtel's Double Flowering Crab.
A medium sized, hardy ornamental tree of great
beauty. When in bloom this tree presents the
appearance of being covered with roses. Flowers
large, fragrant and beautiful.
Plane.
A favorite avenue tree in Europe, and becoming
very popular in this country for the same purpose.
So far it has escaped the attacks of insects in our
cities. It is a rapid, clean grower, forming a large,
spreading tree, attaining a height of 40 to 50 feet,
and cannot be too highly recommended where a
large growing tree is wanted. Thrives in either
high or low ground.
Horse Chestnut.
A very beautiful, well-known tree, forming a
round, compact head, with dark green foliage and
an abundance of showy flowers early in Spring.
Very desirable on account of its hardy, healthy
habit. When fully grown, 40 to 50 feet high.

SECTION OP NOMENCLATURE,
Carolina Poplar.
This rapid growing tree, with its large glossy-
leaves, open head and symmetrical habit of growth ,
is the best of all poplars for shade and street plant-
ing. It retains its foliage later than other varie-
ties and is well adapted to use in smoky cities.
They may be allowed to branch to the ground
when desired for windbreaks or screens.
Catalpa — Bungei.
A small species that grows 8 to io feet high
and twice as broad, forming a great bush, clothed
with a dense mass of large, heart-shaped leaves.
Among our hardy shrubs there are but few, if any,
that are more effective as foliage plants for park
or lawn. When grafted on a stalk of one of the
tree species 5 or 6 feet high, it makes a hand-
some standard tree, with a very dense and sym-
metrical globular head without trimming.
Teas’ Weeping Mulberry.
Weeping Mulberry ♦
This new weeping tree is without doubt the best
for general planting of all small lawn or cemetery
trees. Its willowy, pendent branches are covered
with large light green deeply lobed foliage. The
tree is hardy and thrives in a variety of soils.
Ash-leaved Maple, or Box Elder*
Of rapid growth, especially while young, and
spreading form ; foliage small and of light green
color. Transplants easily and does well in dry
soil. A good shade tree, and if pruned attractive
and valuable.
Judas Tree, or Red Bud.
A very pretty low-growing, round-headed tree,
the stems of which are clothed with a profusion
of purplish-red flowers before the foliage appears.
Unique and beautiful. They flower at the same
time as the Chinese Magnolia, and when planted
near together the effect is most striking.
Dogwood.
White and red flowering dogwood are fine small
growing trees of spreading, irregular form. Flow-
ers are begonia-shaped, about three inches across,
produced before the leaves and just as the Chi
nese Magnolia flowers are fading, and thus are
valuable for maintaining a succession of bloom
for the lawn or garden. One of the most valua-
ble lawn trees, and should be planted in pairs,
showing the contrasting colors. Autumnal foliage
brilliant and beautiful.
Thorn, Double Flowering.
Among the small trees the thorns are classed as
leaders, and grow more popular every year. They
are dense and low in habit, showy in flower,
resembling masses of miniature roses. Hardy
and adapted to all soils. Especially valuable for
small grounds. Flowers white and scarlet.
Japanese Weeping Cherry.
Among trees of drooping habit there are none
more beautiful than these. Its beauty con-
sists not only in its graceful, pendulous habit, but
its copious production of beautiful flowers, with
which its branches are covered during the blos-
soming season, producing a most charming specta-
cle. The foliage, too, is handsome and healthy.
It is equally suited to both large and small places,
but should be given plenty of room to display its
beauty. No other drooping tree of recent intro-
duction is so meritorious. Can be furnished in
both white and rose-flowering.
Cut-leaf Weeping Birch.
This fine tree excels all others in its tall form
and graceful beauty ; its upright center trunk cov-
ered with white bark, its drooping branches and
pendent leaves increase its attractiveness. It is
hardy and thrifty in all locations.
Japan Chestnut.
This variety makes a highly ornamental tree,
attaining a height of 30 feet. Nuts about 3 times
as large as the American variety and of better
quality than the Spanish. Commences to bear
when 5 years old and not over 7 feet tall. Hardy.
Helesia, or Silver Bell.
A small tree bearing beautiful bell-shaped pure
white flowers similar to the Snowdrop, but much
larger. Blooms early. Grown in shrub form it
is exquisite.
Koelreuteria.
A small growing round-headed tree from China,
with pinnate leaves and large panicles of showy
golden yellow flowers in July. An unusually
good lawn tree and perfectly hardy.

Schwedler’s Maple.
Japanese Maples*
These slow, low-growing dwarfish trees are gen-
eral favorites, on account of their dense, compact
and graceful growth and brilliant, beautifully cut
foliage, varying in color from brightest yellow to
deep blood-red. Unsurpassed for lawn decoration.
Autumn colorings are gorgeous.
Schwedler's Maple.
NEW BROAD-LEAVED PURPLE MAPLE.
One of the handsomest, most valuable and popu-
lar of the new foliage trees. Its hardiness, easy
growth, freedom from insects and disease, and
clearly distinct and permanent color, make it
especially desirable. In size and form of leaf and
habit of growth this tree is very much like the
Norway Maple described below. The foliage
and leaf stalks, however, are different, being a dis-
tinct maroon red or a reddish purple color, quite
permanent in mid-summer, and especially distinct
in spring and autumn.
Norway Maple*
The dense, dark foliage of this lovely tree and
its compact, strong habit of growth, its freedom
from attacks of insects, combine to make this the
very best street, avenue or lawn tree for all sit-
uations. It rivals the oak, and the oldest trees
known are still young in appearance.
Silver-Leaved or White Maple.
A hardy, rapid-growing native variety of the
largest size ; foliage bright green above and silvery
Magnolia Soulangeana.
Probably one of the most showy and popular of the
Chinese varieties, and should be grown wher-
ever they will stand the climate.
underneath. Valuable for producing a quick shade.
Excellent for street planting. When fully grown,
50 to 60 feet.
Wier's Cut-Leaved Silver Maple*
This is one of the most remarkable and beautiful
trees with cut foliage. Its growth is rapid, shoots
slender and drooping, giving it a habit almost as
graceful as the cut-leaved Birch. The foliage is
abundant, silvery underneath, and on the young
wood especially deep and delicately cut. The
leaf stalks are long and tinted with red on the
upper surface. It may be easily adapted to small
places by an occasional cutting back, which it will
bear to any degree necessary.
Magnolia.
A class of valuable and beautiful trees because
of their fine foliage, luxuriant appearance and fra-
grant flowers. They are the best lawn trees in our
collection where climate is suitable.
AMERICAN VARIETIES.
Acuminata (Cucumber Tree) — A magnificent
native tree with large pointed leaves 6 to 9 inches
long ; blossoms green and yellow, 4 to 6 inches in
diameter ; fruit resembles a green cucumber.
Tripetela (Umbrella Tree) — A hardy, native
medium sized tree, with enormous long leaves and
large white fragrant flowers 4 to 6 inches in diam-
eter, in June.
CHINESE VARIETIES.
These are the dwarf growing, large flowering varieties,
of which the best are Speciosa and Soulangeana, white
with red-purple centres, and Conspicua, pure white.
4
Palustris or Pin Oak.
A tall, upright growing variety when young,
but with age the branches droop. Foliage
bright and glossy. One of the best oaks for
street planting and becoming very popular.
Rivers' Purple Beech.
A variety of European beech with large,
smooth, very dark leaves. The best purple
lawn tree known.
Cut-Leaved Beech.
An erect, free-growing tree, foliage light
green and deeply cut or incised. A fine
lawn tree.
Glyptostrobus Sinensis Pendula.
Weeping Chinese Cypress.
Very pendulous, with delicately cut foliage
of pea green shade. An elegant tree ; distinct
and valuable.
Linden.
The American and European Lindens are our
best large-leaved shade trees. Specially adapt-
ed to lawn planting. Foliage is dense, and
when in bloom their fragrance is delightful.
The Lindens are all beautiful, and merit more
notice than they receive. They possess many
valuable qualities. See cut below.
Colorado Blue! Spruce.
Black Locust.
A native tree valuable for posts and timber and
quite ornamental. The flowers are disposed in
long pendulous racemes, white or yellowish, fra-
grant, and appear in June.
Colorado Blue Spruce.
This photograph is of a specimen about 20 feet
high and gives a partial idea of this magnificent
tree. This variety of Spruce was found in the
Rocky Mountains, and wherever planted has
given the greatest satisfaction, thriving well in all
conditions of climate, proving entirely hardy, and
is universally esteemed as the most beautiful of
all evergreens. It will make a very large tree,
but the best specimens are grown from quite small
trees from the nursery. Florists should keep a
stock of transplanted specimens in a conspicuous
place.
Laburnum or Golden Chain.
A native of Europe, with smooth shining foliage,
attaining the height of 20 feet. The name of
Golden Chain alludes to the length of drooping
- racemes of yellow flowers, which, as Cowper
elegantly describes them, are ‘ ‘ rich in streaming
gold.” They appear in June.
Sweet Gum or Bilsted.
One of the best of our native trees. Its star-shaped
leaves, glossy green in summer, take on in fall the
most intense shades of purple, orange and crim-
son. Bark corky and growth stately.
Linden

*£> SHRUBS*
BED OF RHODODENDRONS.
It is useless to dwell upon the beauties of this magnificent evergreen shrub. All are familiar
with its broad, glossy, dark-green foliage and superb trasses of showy flowers of gorgeous tints
and colors.
CULTURE.— They flourish best in peaty soil and, like azaleas, are most effective when grouped. In preparing a
bed, if possible, locate it where it will be partly sheltered from the intense heat in summer and from cutting winds in
winter. The bed should be prepared with old sod, old manure and sand or, better still, if obtainable, good leaf mould,
which prevents the fine hair-like roots from drying out in hot summer weather, from which cause many plants are
lost. Heavy mulching in summer is an excellent preventative, and in dry weather the beds should be thoroughly
soaked. Pinch off all seed pods after flowering in order to get good buds for next season. In the fall mulch the beds
a foot or more with leaves, and if these can be left to decay, it is advisable to do so.
Spireas.
Anthony Waterer.
A new dwarf shrub of great beauty. Its broad
fiat heads of red flowers continue in perfection
many months. Bumalda (pink) and Callosa Alba
(white), have the same form and the three make
a beautiful combination.
Blue Spirea, or Caryopteris Mastacanthus.
Introduced from China and one of the best fall-
blooming, low-growing shrubs, and without doubt
one of the greatest acquisitions. Flowers of the
most pleasing rich lavender blue. Requires some
protection at the north.
Thunbergii.
A Japanese species of small size, with narrow
linear leaves and small white flowers ; one of the
best. Very effective for grouping.
Van Houttei.
The best white Spiraea. The annual growth is
long and abundant and covered in June with a
wealth of pure white blossoms in a perfect cas-
cade of bloom. Perfectly hardy. Should be in
every collection.
Hydrangea Paniculata Grandiflora.
This is undoubtedly the best and most effective
.shrub for all locations, and the tree form of this
well known, late blooming shrub, as it attains
age, becomes conspicuous and beautiful beyond
description.
Exochorda*
Grandiflora.
A rare and beautiful shrub from China. Hardy
and easily transplanted; of compact growth, andean
be trimmed in dwarf form if desired. Pure white
flowers, somewhat resembling the Syringa , but ap-
pearing on longer and lighter spikes. Blooms in May
about the time of Lilacs and Rhododendrons.
Althea.
Vast improvements have been effected in this
variety, and in consequence its old time popularity
has been revived. It can now be supplied in a
great variety of colors, and also in tree form , which
shows off its large brilliant flowers to great advan-
tage, making a very striking object for the lawn.
Deutzia.
A hardy class of plants of fine rather dwarf
habit, luxuriant foliage and greatest profusion of
attractive flowers, rendering them the most desira-
ble of flowering shrubs. The most popular are
Pride of Rochester, producing large double
white flowers, the back of the petals being slightly
tinted with rose ; Gracilis, or Slender
Branched, a charming species with pure white
flowers and fine for pot culture ; Lemoine, the
newest and perhaps the finest of the family, the
branches being entirely covered with pure white
I flowers of exquisite form.
7
Eleagnus Longipes.
Eleagnus Longipes.
A handsome, shapely, silver-leaved shrub, with
ornamental reddish-brown bark in winter ; per-
fectly hardy and easy to grow. The bright yellow
flowers appear in June on long stalks, but the
greatest value of the shrub is in the fruit, which is
produced in the greatest abundance along the
whole length of the branches ; oval in shape and
about one-half inch long. Color deep orange red;
very showy and attractive. The fruit is not only
very ornamental, but has a sprightly, sharp, pleas-
ant flavor, and makes a delicious sauce when
cooked. Eleagnus is one of the most valuable
ornamental berry-bearing shrubs, and should be
largely planted.
Barberry.
Thunbergii.
One of the most effective plants in autumn, after
most other deciduous shrubs are bare. Its small
oval leaves then assume superb crimson hues, and
the slender branches droop beneath their load of
bright red berries, which hang on till late in
winter. The bush is very thorny and is one of the
best plants for low ornamental hedges.
Xanthoceras.
Sorbifolia.
A large growing shrub or small tree from China,
foliage similar to Mountain Ash. The flowers are
about the size of cherry blossoms and white, with
a coppery-colored eye and borne in clusters in
great abundance.
Lilac.
These old-time favorites have again sprung into
wonderful popularity, and justly so, as wonderful
improvements have been made in both form and
coloring, and they are now one of our most attract-
ive classes of large growing shrubs.
Japan Tree Lilac.
A new species from Japan. Leaves thick, point-
ed, leathery and dark ; flowers in very large pani
cles, creamy white and privet-like. Makes a
small tree and is desirable because of its distinct
foliage and late blooming.
Cornus, or Dogwood.
These are fine, large growing shrubs for planting
singly, in groups or for massing, being distin-
guished for their elegant variegated foliage or their
bright colored barks.
Weigela.
These are among the finest of the Japanese
flowering shrubs, forming large symmetrical bushes
with a drooping tendency, covered in June and
July with large trumpet-shaped flowers of varying
colors, while some have variegated foliage.
Purple-Leaved Filbert.
A very conspicuous shrub, with large, dark, pur-
ple leaves ; distinct and fine. It is to shrubs what
Purple Beech is to trees. Color good all the season.
Cut-Leaved Sumach.
A hardy plant of moderate size with large beauti-
ful fern-like leaves, milky white on under side,
changing to a brilliant scarlet in autumn.
Japan Snowball.
Hmdsome plicated leaves ; globular heads of
pure white neutral flowers, early in June. It sur-
passes the common variety in several respects. Its
habit is better, foliage much handsomer, flowers
whiter and more delicate. One of the most valua-
ble flowering shrubs. These can also be supplied
in tree form and are very effective.
High Bush Cranberry.
Both ornamental and useful. Berries resemble
cranberries, esteemed for sauce, tarts and jams.
Berries hang on the bush until late in the fall.
8
CLIMBING VINES
Hall's Japan Honeysuckle.
A strong variety, almost evergreen,
holding its foliage until late in January.
The flowers are pure white and yellow,
very fragrant, and cover the vines from
July to December. The best of all the
honeysuckles.
Wistaria.
Chinensis (Blue Wistaria). — A very
strong grower, after once established,
that climbs high and twines tightly. It
blooms very profusely early in the sum-
mer, and again more sparingly later in
the season.
There is also a White Flowering
variety which is equally beautiful.
Aristolochia Sipho.
Dutchman’s Pipe.
A rapid growing climber, with large
heart-shaped leaves and curious pipe-
shaped yellow and brown flowers. Per-
fectly hardy and grows 20 feet or more
in a season, making a dense shade.
Clematis Paniculata on porch with Ampelopsis Vetchii
Clematis Paniculata.
A new vine of rapid growth suitable for cover-
ing trellises with glossy green. The small white
flowers cover the plant in autumn with a “sheet
of bloom.’’
Clematis Mme. Baron Veillard.
A new variety, much like the popular Jack-
manni, except the flowers are a most unique shade
of soft pink. A perfect gem.
Ampelopsis Veitchii.
Boston or Japan Ivy.
This variety which came from Japan in 1868 has
found great favor throughout this country, and may
be seen as a carpet of green on brick and stone
walls all through the summer months. It adheres
without nailing to brick or stone.
Bignonia, or Trumpet Flower.
A vigorous and hardy climber, with clusters o£
scarlet trumpet-shaped flowers in August.

IO
Showing a block of Paeonias in the N arsery. This effect may be produced by planting in large beds on the lawn
or in front of Shrubbery.
Paeonia, Moutan. — Flowers of enormous size.
Color, rosy pink. Very effective.
Fringe Leaf Paeonia (Pseonia Tenuifolia). —
A remarkable and strikingly beautiful variety
with delicate fern-like foliage and double scarlet-
crimson flowers, very brilliant and satiny. Per- .»
fectly hardy.
PAEONIA
One of the chief points in favor of the paeonia is its hardiness. In the severest
climate the plants require no protection. Their vigorous habit, healthy growth, freedom
from disease and insects are in favor of their cultivation. When the paeonia is once
planted, all that is necessary has been done ; they require no further care, and each suc-
ceeding year adds to their size and beauty.
The foliage is rich and glossy, and of a
beautiful deep green color, thus making the
plants highly ornamental even when they
are not in flower. The paeonia can be
planted either singly, on the lawn, or it can
be used to excellent advantage to plant as
a border line, between lots. A large bed
makes a most magnificent appearance. The
paeonia is the flower for the many, and a
selection of sorts will give continuous
bloom from May to July, and in every
shade of color from pure white to dark
purplish crimson. We have a large and
fine line to select from.
Clio. Mrs. John Laing. Madame Gabriel Luizet.
ROSES.
Rosa Rugosa.
A rare and valuable species of rose, quite disti
in foliage, flower and fruit. It is a particularly
attractive bush, covered with a dense mass of
large, glossy, aromatic leaves, which have a
peculiar wrinkled appearance. The large,
single flowers are very showy, fine rosy-red or
white, and are followed by bright scarlet fruit
as large as small crab apples.
Crimson Rambler.
For a climbing rose the new Crimson Ram-
bler excels all others. Foliage dark green :
flowers in large clusters of small semi-double
bright crimson, covering the plant for a long
season with a ‘ ‘ gorgeous sheet of bloom ”
This Japanese rose has been tried in all situa-
tions and has proved to be one of the best
roses ever produced. We cannot recommend it
too highly It can be trained to a trellis or
pillar.
White, Yellow and Pink
Ramblers
are new climbing roses of fine habit and
foliage, somewhat similar to Crimson Rambler.
Marchioness of Londonderry.

Pink Baby Rambler.
Pink Baby Rambler.
This magnificent Baby Rambler is equally as
meritorious as the Crimson Baby Rambler, which
has become so famous. Of dwarf growth, it
blooms practically all the time, producing in amaz-
ing quantities large clusters or panicles of its
beautiful pink flowers, which are full and double;
color almost identical with the Dorothy Perkins.
Crimson Baby Rambler.
(Madam Norbert Levavasseur.)
The new ever-blooming Dwarf Crimson Rambler
In this new variety we have the wonderful Crimson

California Privet Hedge.
Hedge Plants.
To screen unsightly objects from view, to mark lines or boundaries, hedges are most useful, and
ith proper attention very ornamental.
For permanent all-round effect evergreens are desirable, and the best sorts for the purpose are
[emlock Spruce, American Arborvitae in variety, Norway and other Spruces. These can be allowed to
row at will or kept in any desired shape by shearing.
Among deciduous shrubs for ornamental hedges the California Privet is very popular, having a
foliage of great beauty and permitting a shearing to an ex-
tent that would ruin most plants. But in certain situations
and for certain uses there is another even better, the Ber-
beris Thunbergi , which for a low hedge has no equal.
This beautiful species from Japan, with round droop-
ing habit, spoon-shaped leaves of fine brilliant green
in summer, takes on from early autumn till December
the most glowing colors of any shrub or tree — crimson
orange, bronze and green, with all the intermediate shades,
blended in the foliage of a single bush, the effect being
most extraordinary and beautiful. After the leaves fall
the branches are seen to be loaded down with scarlet-
crimson berries, and these often hang until April, present-
ing a most beautiful object, and is also of great value to
plant as “cover” where quails or other game birds are
protected, as they feed greedily on its seeds. For a hedge
3 to 4 feet high it is the very best of all plants, being
impenetrable, as it is thickly set with spurs.
No other plant so fully meets every requirement of a
hedge, combining beauty in all seasons, hardiness, com-
pact growth, impenetrability and ease with which it may
be kept in proper form.
We urge all intending to plant hedges to thoroughly
prepare and enrich the soil, if of poor quality. We grow
large quantities of these standard plants and will make
very reasonable quotations.
