Ailanthus 



Chinese Sumac, Tree of Heaven. Ailanthus 

 Glandulosa. (M). The hardships this tree en- 

 dures have brought it into greater prominence as a 

 tree for planting in built-up places in cities. Few 

 tpees endure, not to mention thrive, on streets with 

 asphalt surfaces and concrete sidewalks, and a dusty, 

 smoky atmosphere. The Ailanthus will grow in 

 just such places. It will ornament city backyards, 

 now adorned by drying clothes and ugly walls. 

 You also find the Ailanthus growing nearer to the 

 ocean than any other tree, The appearance is that 

 of a lofty, rapid-growing shade tree, with feathery, 

 tropical-looking foliage.

European, or Common Alder. Alnus Gluti- 

 NOSA. (M). Valuable for producing natural effects 

 and for water-side planting 



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.

The Horse Chestnut; one of the most showy flowering trees. Its 

 blossoms are borne in great quantities in June and later succeeded by 

 the familiar fruit or horse chestnut. These trees give cooling shade, and 

 in other respects are desirable. See prices page 40.
