ORIENTAL PLANE 



(Platanus orientalis). A rapid, upright, 

 clean growing shade tree, long lived, beau- 

 tiful dense foliage. A superb tree of gigantic proportions, which is very hardy. 

 The Oriental Plane, being originally an imported tree during the past genera- 

 tion, has rapidly won high popularity in recent years due to its many merits, 

 which have made it the most useful and the most sought for shade tree for 

 lawns, parks, streets and highway plantings. Harrisons' Nurseries are special- 

 izing in growing Oriental Planes and we are the largest growers in America. 



^11 VFR AAA PI F '^*^®'' dosycarpum). The name comes from the 

 "^■^■▼^■^ IYl>\a LiC color of leaves. Underneath, these are the same 

 shade as new, bright silver; on top they are light green. Many of them are 

 carried on their edges, and when wind blows the trees are alive with silver and 

 green flashes. In the fall the leaves fade to pale yellow. Growth is faster than 

 that of any other Maple, and probably faster than that of any other shade 

 tree. Branches ore slim and dainty rather than heavy, and the form of 

 growth is spreading. Gets very large eventually — as high as 120 feet some- 

 times — and does well over, nearly all the United States. Makes splendid 

 quick screens or quick shade. On streets and in parks is extensively planted, 

 and is very fine. 



AMERICAN ELM 



(Ulmus omericana). A noble native tree of 

 great size, wide spreading, gracefully curving 

 branches, growing up in a form like the outline of long-stemmed flowers in 

 a tall vase. The handsomest American tree for lawns, avenues and parks. 



AMERICAN PLANE 



(Platanus occidentalis) . A very rapid grow- 

 ing tree for yard and street planting. The 



bark is grayish green and peels off during the winter. Not as desirable as 



the Oriental Plane, bu^ is a much more rapid grower. 



CATALPA SPECIOSA
