 drooping branches of this tree present a ver\- pic- 

 turesque effect. In a fully developed tree they 

 look almost like a waterfall. A desirable tree, par- 

 ticularlv for large lawns.

 dividual planting. Useful for producing color con- 

 trasts. Of rather slow growth, but in time develops 

 into a fine specimen. The trees we offer are fine 

 and bushy, being branched to the ground.

River's Purple Beech, var. Riversii. (M). 

 This variety assumes rather more the proportions 

 of a shade tree and is not branched so closely to 

 the ground as most kinds. The color is retained 

 during the Summer months. When \oung it is 

 usually somewhat open and of a spreading nature 

 but eventually it develops into a symmetrical 

 round-headed tree of great beauty. The best 

 purple-leaved tree for lawn planting.

Fraxinus: Ash Trees 



Quick-growing trees which possess many merits 

 commending them for general planting. Being of 

 a broad, spreading nature makes them better suited 

 perhaps for large lawns or park planting. As the 

 shade is not dense a greensward is more easily 

 maintained under them than some trees, and this 

 has a value in many places. 



American White Ash. Fraxinus Alba. (L). 

 This grand old native is quick in growth, with mas- 

 sive trunk and broad, spreading limbs. It is valued 

 for timber, shade or street planting.

One of the distinguishing features of our nursery is that we 

 raise nearly all the stock we sell and dig it freshly for each 

 order, and do not carry it in storage cellars. Another advan- 

 tage is that our stock for the most part is acclimated and more 

 likely to endure our American climate than imported plants.
