Camperdown Weeping Elm, Linden. CORNUS florida, continued. green, glossy and handsome. Spreading, irregular form, growing 20 to 25 feet high. 50 cts. and 75 cts. each. Rubra (Red-flowering Dogwood). This is simply a great and grand improvement upon the otherwise unrivaled white-flowering variety. It possesses the same freedom of flowering, producing what might be termed a drift of bloom of a bright, fresh and cheerful rosy red. The fruits or berries are the same as those of the species. 75 cts. and $1 each. ELM, American White. A noble drooping, spread- ing tree of our own woods; one of the grandest of park and street trees. 35 cts., 50 cts., 75 cts. and $1 each. Scotch. A fine, spreading tree of rapid growth; foli- age large. 35 cts., 50 cts., 75 cts. and $1 each. Camperdown Weeping. Grafted 6 to 8 feet high, this forms one of the most picturesque drooping trees. It is of rank growth, the shoots often mak- ing a zigzag growth of several feet outward and downward in a single season. The leaves are large, dark green and glossy, and cover the tree with a luxuriant mass of ver- dure. 75 cts., $1 and $1.50. HORSE-CHESTNUT, Double White-flowering. A superb variety, with large double flow- ers. For a lawn or driveway, it has no superior. The flowers are very showy. 25 cts., 50 cts., 75 cts. and $1 each. Red-flowering. Not so rapid a grower as White, and blooms later; foliage a deep green; very showy tree. $1, $1.25 and $1.50 each. JUDAS TREE, American. A small-growing tree, covered with delicate purple flowers before the leaves appear. 75c. and $1 each. LARCH. A pyramidal tree of beautiful shape, with branches spreading out straight from the trunk. Fine for the lawn, and, being a rapid grower, de- sirable where immediate effects are wa»ted. 50 cts. eacii,
