_ ORIENTAL PLANE (Platanus orientalis). A rapid, up- 
right, clean growing shade tree, long lived, beautiful 
dense foliage. A superb tree of gigantic proportions, 
which is very hardy. The Oriental Plane, being origi- 
nally an imported tree during the past generation, has 
rapidly won high popularity in recent years due to its 
many favorable merits, which have made it the most 
useful and the most sought for shade tree for lawns, 
parks, streets and highway plantings. Harrisons’ Nur- 
series are specializing in growing Oriental Planes and 
we are the largest growers in America. 
_ SILVER MAPLE (Acer dasycarpum). The name comes 
from the 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 yel- 
low. Growth is faster than that of any other Maple, 
and probably faster than that of any other shade tree. 
Branches are slim and dainty rather than heavy, and 
the form of growth is spreading. Gets very large 
eventually—as high as 120 feet sometimes—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. 
: eres ELM (UlImus americana). A noble Tae 
_ 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 (Platenus occidentalis). A very 
rapid growing tree for yard and street planting. The 
bark is grayish green and. peels off during the winter. 
Not as desirable as the Oriental Plane, but is a much 
more rapid grower.
