Cedrus deodara. (See page 25.) PIN US, continued P. Halapensis. The Aleppo, or Jerusalem Pine. This is the most common Pine of Palestine. The tree is low and spreading, growing about 20 to 30 feet high. Leaves are in twos, deep green, 2 or 3 inches long, thickly clothing the younger branches. The Greeks throughout Attica use its resin to pre- serve their wine f rom becoming sour, and also use the cones for the same purpose. Nice 1-year pot- grown trees, 10 cts. each, $1 per doz., $7 per 100. P. Massoniana. Japan Pine. Leaves stiff and straight, about 6 inches long. The tree attains a height of 40 or 50 feet, but becomes a mere shrub at an elevation of 3,500 feet, or in exposed situations. The Japanese consider the timber most excellent, which is of a deep red color. Fine 1-year pot-plants, 10 cts. each, $1 per doz., $7 per 100. RETINOSPORA plumosa. Japan Cypress. This is an interesting, small, dense tree, with pretty, plumy foliage. The finest of the genus. Does fairly well this far South, but prefers stronger soil and higher altitude. Nice plants, 25 cts. and 40 cts. each. THUYA (or Biota). The Arborvit^e. We offer some of the best species of this well-known genus, and au immense stock of splendid trees. They are easily transplanted, like other evergreens, from the open ground, but prefer autumn and winter. The Arborvitae is especially suited for making hedfrrs, and may be grown on any land not too excessively wet, or dry. The young plants should be set about 18 to 24 inches apart, in a properly prepared soil; we think deep digging and thorough manuring to be essential for all ordinary lands. The best hammock or loamy soil may not need manure, but should be spaded and well pulverized before planting. Topping and shearing the plants may begin at the option of the grower. T. compacta. Conical in form, dark green, dense habit. A grand tree for cemetery use, single speci- mens, or to line out by roads or avenues. Half- dwarf. Fine stock, 6 to 10 inches high, 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz., $10 per 100. Large specimens, 25 cts. to 50 cts. each. T. compacta aurea. Golden tinted foliage; listed by some firms as T. nana aurea, A grand species; more dwarf than the type, and not likely to ever reach a height exceeding 5 or 6 feet. Fine stock, 50 cts. each, $5 per doz. T. occidentals. American. A large bush 5, or tree, extensively used for hedging. Very ^ hardy, and suitable for the middle and northern jj> states. Has a more spreading habit than the orientalis type. An excellent stock of plants at 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz., $10 per 100; larger at 25 cts. each. T. orientalis. Chinese. Succeeds everywhere. Is especially suitable for hedges in the South and the middle states, and is of much quicker growth s than T. occidentalis. We have a grand stock in various sizes. 8 to 12 inches high, 10 cts. each, $1 per doz., $7 per 100; 18 to 24 inches, 20 cts. each, $1.50 per doz., $8 per 100; 24 to 36 inches, 20 cts. each (unmailable), $2 per doz., $10 per 100; 36 to 48 inches, 25 cts. each, $2.50 per doz., $12 per 100. Larger, 30 cts. to 75 cts. each. i I I
