l^MOON'S TREES 



Avenue of Norway Maples at Princeton, N. J., where a quantity of Moon's nursery products are used. 



DECIDUOUS ORNAMENTAL TREES 



SHADE trees are of universal appreciation and almost as great applicability. They are in demand for 

 both city and country. Certain street trees in Paris and Berlin, for instance, are of world renown, 

 and help to invite to these places many an American traveler. Our cities can be made just as beau- 

 tiful with your co-operation. The initial cost of trees 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 vari- 

 eties best adapted for street and avenue planting. 



Trees can also be used as a background for other ornamental plantings, as screens for objectionable 

 views, or closely planted on steep hillsides to prevent erosion. 



Of course their value for decorating the lawn must not be overlooked, and in the assortment that 

 follows will be found 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; 

 in fact, something suitable for "Every Place and Purpose." 



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. If impractical to visit us 

 and make selection from the various sorts and sizes we will give careful attention to correspondence. We 

 send a booklet, "How to Plant a Tree," with every invoice. 



**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.
