CATALPA BUNGEI 



CATALPA BUNGEI 



'OTHIXG can be planted which will 

 grow so well and with so little atten- 

 tion 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 fre- 

 quently 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. 



" Var." indicates a variety of the last mentioned species. 



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 indespensable in all 

 lawn, park or avenue plantings. In Autumn, the brilliant coloring of their leaves is everywhere commented 

 upon. The Silver jMaple (Acer dasycarpum) and the Ash-leaved Maple (Acer Negundo) are the most 

 rapid-growing; but for permanency the Sugar Maple (Acer saccharum) and the Norway Maple (Acer 

 platanoides) are usually preferred. The other varieties are more or less distinct, and each useful in its 

 place. 



European Cork Maple 



Acer campestris. European Cork Maple. 

 (S) Attractive and hardy, growing slowly into a 

 small, handsome tree, with thick, rounded head of 

 small, elegant leaves. The bark is corky. Valuable 

 for planting on high, dry ground.
