Carpinus. Hornbeam 



THESE medium-sized trees, resembling the 

 Beech, are valuable for shady places, as 

 undergrowth, or for other natural effects. 

 Both species are remarkably free from attacks of 

 insects. The leaves are tenacious, remaining until 

 Winter, making them well suited for many plantings, 

 particularly screens and hedges. The fact that they 

 stand close pruning without injury to the tree makes 

 them desirable for formal work. 



American Hornbeam. Carpinus Americana; 

 syn. Caroliniana. (S). A small tree or shrub. 

 Will thrive in almost any soil and has good Autumn 

 foliage.

Celtis 



Celtis occidentalis. Nettle Tree, or Hack- 

 berry. (L). A highly ornamental native tree that 

 is similar to the Elm. Characteristic bunches of 

 little twigs, like birds' nests, are conspicuous among 

 the leafless branches of Winter. The value of this 

 tree is most realized in the Southern States, where 

 it has proven to be a most popular and desirable 

 tree for street planting.

Cerasus 

 The Flowering Cherries 



In the Spring these trees are buried under a 

 wealth of bloom, which is strung along the branches. 

 All the stories of the regard for cherry blossoms by 

 the Japanese seem probable when one sees one of 

 these little flowering cherry trees a mass of deli- 

 cate bloom. In addition to the flowers, the young 

 wood of many varieties is noted for its beautiful bark. 



Double White-flowering Cherry. Cerasus 

 Avium, var. alba flora plena. (M). Numerous 

 white flowers conceal the branches in May. One 

 of the most attractive flowering trees. 



4 to 5 ft $1 50 



Double Pink-flowering Cherry, var. Rosea 

 Plena. (M). Beautiful pink flowers make this a 

 very ornamental tree for lawn decoration.

Japanese Weeping Cherry. Cerasus Japonica 

 VAR. Rosea Pendula. (D). Makes a beautiful 

 lawn specimen, and is so small that it can be used 

 in very limited areas. The drooping branches 

 almost touch the ground, and when, in May, they 

 are clothed with innumerable delicate pink flowers, 

 there is nothing that surpasses it in beauty. At 

 other seasons the foliage is good and the tree presents 

 a very attractive appearance. ^^^^i Per 10

Cladrastis 



Yellow Wood. Cladrastis Tinctoria; 

 syn. Virgilia Lutea. (M). A pretty tree, 

 with smooth, light bark and graceful branches, 

 that bear drooping racemes of sweet-scented 

 white Wistaria-like flowers in June. An un- 

 common but very attractive tree for lawn 

 decoration. It generally branches close to 

 the ground. On this account it is best suited 

 for .simply producing ornamental effects, al- 

 though in time it assumes the proportions of 

 a shade tree.
