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.

(orse Chestnuts endure well the condi tions of city and suburban streets. Tojthe advantage^of ^dense, cooling 

 shade they provide, is added the attractiveness in June of abundant flowers. We have an exceptionally fine stock of 

 Horse Chestnut this year. See prices on opposite page.
