AVENUE  OF  OAK  TREES  IN  FAIRMOUNT  PARK,  PHILADELPHIA,  PA. 
T)eciduous  Ornamental  ^rees 
OTHING  can  be  planted  which  will  grow  so  well  and  with  so  little  attention  and  care  as 
trees.  The  initial  cost  is  small  and  paid  for  many  times  over  by  the  beauty,  pleasure  and 
satisfaction  which  they  bring.  In  the  assortment  that  we  have  listed  will  be  found  the 
j  varieties  best  adapted  for  street  and  avenue  planting  ;  the  kinds  that  will  give  the  coolest 
shade  for  lawn  and  park  use  ;  species  of  rapid  growth  to  produce  quick  effects  ;  those  with 
gorgeous  and  showy  flowers  and  brilliant  autumnal  leaves  ;  kinds  with  graceful,  weeping  habit ;  large 
and  dwarf-growing  sorts.  Our  collection  includes  trees  adapted  for  all  locations,  climates  and  soils.  All 
have  been  grown  with  care  to  make  them  straight,  stocky,  well  headed  and  supplied  with  fibrous  roots. 
They  have  been  frequently  transplanted  and  are  prepared  for  moving.  Where  trees  are  wanted  in  large 
quantities  we  may  be  able  to  offer  greater  inducements  on  some  varieties,  so  that  we  solicit  correspon- 
dence from  persons  who  contemplate  purchasing  in  such  numbers.  That  the  unacquainted  may  have  an 
idea  of  the  height  to  which  each  tree  may  be  expected  to  grow,  we  have  marked  the  varieties  as  follows  : 
(L)  designates  trees  growing  to  60  feet  or  over  at  maturity.  (M)  from  30  to  60  feet.  (S)  20  to  30 
feet.    (D)  10  to  20  feet.    (VD)  less  than  10  feet. 
Acer  •  The  Maples 
Maples  are  planted,  perhaps,  more  largely  than  any  other  trees.  They  are  hardy  and  well  adapted 
to  almost  every  soil ;  are  attractive,  vigorous  growers,  and  remarkably  free  from  the  attacks  of  injurious 
insects.  Their  shade  is  cool  and  dense,  ;ind  for  this  they  are  indispensable  in  all  lawn,  park  or  avenue 
plantings.  In  autumn  the  brilliant  coloring  of  their  leaves  is  everywhere  commented  upon.  The  Silver 
Maple  is  the  most  rapid-growing,  but  for  permanency  the  Sugar  and  Norway  are  usually  preferred.
