•i-j  MOON'S  TREES 
DECIDUOU>S  ORNAMENTAL 
The  trees  for  this  avenue  at  Wynnefield,  Philadelphia,  Pa.,  were  purchased  of  us  14  years  ago.  What  other  investment 
could  this  real  estate  promoter  have  made  that  would  add  greater  value  to  his  property  than  these  trees,  which  then  cost  him 
about  $1.50  each?  Sugar  Maples  (see  page  23)  are  planted  between  the  curb  and  sidewalk.  Oriental  Planes  (see  page  31) 
inside  of  the  walk. 
NOTHING  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  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  correspondence  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  tree.  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,  and  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  (Acer  dasycarpum)  and  the  Ash-Leaved  Maple  (Acer  Xegundo)  are  the  most 
rapid-growing;  but  for  permanency  the  Sugar  Maple  (Acer  saccharinum)  and  the  Norway  Maple  (Acer 
platanoides)  are  usually  preferred.  The  other  varieties  are  more  or  less  distinct,  and  each  useful  in  its 
place.
