Ornamental Shade Trees 



Of the larger growing varieties, such as Maples, Elms, Poplars, Lindens, etc., I carry a full stock, 

 but because they are difficult to pack for shipment in small quantities, I list and quote prices upon 

 those of somewhat dwarf habit or slow growth only. 



ACER MAPLE 



PLATANOIDES. Norway Maple.— A round- 

 headed tree with broad top, dense leafage and 

 straight stem, holding its large palmate leaves

 but attains large proportions with age, upon fer- 

 tile soil. The most popular and the best of all 

 the Maples. 8 ft., 75c.; 10 ft., $1.00 each. 



NEGUNDO. Ash-leaved Maple or Box Elder. 



— A spreading tree of rapid growth, with com- 

 pound ash-like leaves. Extremely hardy and suc- 

 ceeds near the sea. Desirable for producing shade 

 quickly at low cost. 8 ft., 50c.; 10 ft., 75c. each.

CORNUS (Dogwood) 



FLORIDA. White-flowered Dogwood or Cor- 

 nel. — Of upright habit, becoming a small tree with

Bergen Co., N. J., Aug. 11, 1913. 

 I might say that the name of Lovett has been 

 synonymous for a great many years to me with 

 the best in your line and the fairest business treat- 

 ment, as I have known of you ever since you 

 were a boy.

MAGNOLIA 



MAGNOLIA SOULANGEANA 



Few objects can be planted upon the lawn that 

 are more interesting, striking or beautiful than 

 the hybrid Magnolias. They form, in time, low, 

 spreading trees, and their conspicuous large flow- 

 ers, which literally cover the tree with a mantle 

 of bloom before the leaves appear, arrest the 

 attention of everyone. 



CONSPICUA. — A strong growing variety with 

 conspicuous large, pure white flowers. 



LENNEI. — The large flowers are very -fragrant 

 and rich purple-plum Avithout and silvery-rose

 tumn. Large handsome foliage.

 inches in diameter, pearly white, marked with 

 lilac. Large, glossy, massive foliage.
