American Sweet Chestnut. This is the "Spreading 

 Chestnut Tree"' of our youth, which is at home from 

 the Lakes to the Gulf. It is a most valuable shade tree, 

 and is not excelled by any in imposing effect. Growth 

 is very rapid and very sturdy. Large, thick limbs

 tree, with bright green leaves soon fading to handsome 

 yellow. In June there are showy flowers, and in the 

 fall many large nuts. 6 to 7 ft., 7.S cts. 



American Elm. Grows wild over the United 

 States, but is a great deal finer when cultivated. With 

 their wide-spreading, gracefully curving branches 

 growing up in a form which is like the outline made 

 by a bunch of long-stemmed flowers in a tall vase, they 

 are perhaps the handsomest American lawn trees. 

 6 to 8 ft., 60 cts. each. $6 for 10, S45 per 100; 8 to 10 ft.,

 streets and lawns. White and red flowers in eight- to 

 twelve-inch clusters, in May. Large, attractive, prickly 

 nut cores. 4 to 5 ft. 50c. each. S5 for 10, S35 per 100.

 graceful tree which is handsome enough to adorn any 

 surroundings. Leaves heart-shaped and dark from 

 above, pale from beneath. They bear creamy white 

 flowers in graceful clusters very early in the summer, 

 and these are very popular with the bees. 5 to 6 ft., 

 60 cts. each, S5 for 10, S40 per 100 ; 6 to 8 ft, 75 cts. 

 each, S~ for 10, S50 per 100. 



Honey Locust. A handsome tree for planting 

 singly or in a hedge. It naturally grows large and 

 spreading, but if' kept trimmed will be close and thick. 

 It has dark green leaves, fading yellow in early autumn, 

 and fiat, dark brown pods, 18 inches long, hanging 

 downward. Hardy and good. 2 to 3 ft., 15 cts.; 3 to 

 4 ft., 20 cts.; 5 to 6 ft., 25 cts. 



Red Colchicum Maple. A spreading but regular 

 and even-growing tree which never gets very large 

 and does not grow very fast. It is a native of the Orient, 

 and is chieflj' valued — wisely, too — for its gorgeous, 

 oriental leaves. They are dark blood-red color when 

 coming out, then green, and last, in the fall, they are 

 yellow and orange. 4 to 5 ft., 75c. each, S~ for 10. 



Sugar Maple. Not far from the head of the list of 

 handsome and all-round good shade trees for street and

 tiful, in autumn scarlet and orange. Growth thick and 

 dense. Gets very large and stately.

is purple and crimson; that of summer months dark 

 green, and when fall comes the tree dons tones of brown 

 and yellowish-red. It certainly is a fashion-following 

 member of the maple family, and, while in no way 

 ignoring its relationship, it insists on all the latest 

 styles in cut of leaves and growth of branches besides 

 harmonizing colors. 5 to 6 ft., 75 cts. each, S6 for 10. 



Carolina Poplar. This has been the most popular 

 park and street tree during the last generation. It 

 grows a symmetrical, pyramid-shaped head and has 

 glossy leaves. We have extra-good young trees this 

 year. 5 to 6 ft., 25 cts., each, S2 for 10, $15 per 100;
