ENGLISH OAK. The Royal Oak of England is the oak of literature. The strong, storm and lime defying branches are in old age gnarled and pic- turesque. As a lawn tree in this country it grows 2 to 4 feet a year, and makes a handsome tree. We have trees of all sizss up to 18 feet. NORWAY MAPLE. Young trees lifted from nursery rows, showing roots and comparative size of $1 and 75-cent trees. A similar illustration of young Silver Maples at ing straight trunks and single leaders, is given below. FOFLAR. As a class the Poplars are the quickest-growing and cheapest trees. On new, recentlj'planted lawns they are often the largest and handsomest trees. We can recommend them for lawn shade, for groups or hedges to im- mediately screen disagreeable views, for planting in the sand to shade seaside resorts, and for street planting on rich or moist soil. For street planting on average Long Island soil, where maples do well, they give immediate effect, but are a failure in a few years unless fertilized. Low rates on trees in quantity or by the carload. Carolina Cottonwood {Populus monolifera). The commonest variety. An upright grower, and in old age a noble, wide-spreading tree. We have good specimens (grown in wide rows) 20 fe^thigh, with compact, symmetrical, low- branched tops. Also a few specimens 20 to 30 feet high. Balsam, or Balm of Gilead {P. balsamifera var. candicans). A handsome tree, with broad, dark leaves. The spicy gum of the buds is used medicinally. Japan. A vigorous, new variety, with the best foliage. A row over 20 feet high in our nursery is covered from the ground up with large, light-green, healthy leaves. The foliage in late summer is better than that of the Carolina Poplar. Iio
