Wouldn't You Rather Live on the Side of the Street 

 Moons' Trees Are On? 



This street in Philadelphia is planted with shade trees from our nurseries. The usual bareness and 

 sunny glare have vanished on the tree side; houses there will rent for more and tenants stay longer. 

 It pays to plant trees — in money returns as well as in the pleasure one gets from their shade and beauty. 



DECIDUOUS ORNAMENTAL TREES 



SHADE trees are of universal appreciation and of 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 Ameri- 

 can traveler. Our cities can be made just as beautiful 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 

 varieties 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 j 

 "Every Place and Purpose." 



All have been grown with care to make them straight, stocky, well-headed and sup- 

 plied with fibrous roots. They have been frequently transplanted, and are prepared 

 for moving. 



"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 I 

 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; (Sj 20 to 30 feet; (D) 10 to 20 feet; (VD) less than 10 feet.
