A^OON'S TREES

A street planting of Moons' Plane Trees at Roebling, N. J. The right-hand picture taken in 1912 soon after the 

 trees were put out; the left-hand picture during the Summer of 1914. In two years' time these sturdy growing 

 trees wrought this improvement. With trees so inexpensive and results so quickly had there is no excuse for 1 

 treeless streets in residential sections. The 30,000 Plane trees that we offer below may be expected to give just as i 

 satisfactory results. 



Platanus: Plane, Sycamore or Buttonwood 



Oriental Plane. Platanus Oriextalis. (L). Many writers of the best authority state from ex- 

 perience that this tree comes more nearly filling all the requirements necessary for city planting than 

 any other shade tree. Grows in a great variety of soils and withstands the smoky atmosphere of 

 cities. Is hard\-, thrives near the seashore and is remarkably free from drsease and insect attacks. 

 Its rapid growth also adds to its value, making a most popular and satisfactory tree for avenue planting.

Wild Black Cherry. Prunus Serotina. (M).

hangs on for a long time.
