HARDY FLOWERING AND SHADE TREES 



WHAT a part the tree has played in our American life! Every State, and nearly every town has its historic 

 tree, to which the casual visitor is immediately and proudly directed. Charter Oak, the Elms of Connecticut, 

 all of the lovely trees in history have their potential duplicates in our nursery, ready to be transplanted to 

 your lawn, where they may grow to the size of their forefathers. We can recommend especially our flowering trees 

 this season, which combine the comforts of shade with their blooming periods of astounding beauty.
