Deciduous Trees 
HE ornamental shade trees that we recommend for their landscape value as fine 
lawn specimens and avenue trees are the Beech, Catalpa, Elm, Linden, Liquidam- 
bar, Maple, Oak, Poplar and Tulip. Most of these are available to our patrons in 
sizes ranging from the ordinary nursery tree of 6 to 14 feet, to specimens up to 
40 feet or more in height and 30 feet spread of branches. 
Having the advantage of soil that causes a tree to produce a compact mass of 
fibrous roots and giving them special culture, the large trees we offer are in per- 
fect condition for successful transplanting. 
We invite a personal inspection of our blocks of large trees, especially during the summer, to 
make selections that will be reserved till the planting season. 
For extensive street planting we call attention to the Norway and Silver Maples, 
In the following pages it is our aim to so describe the different trees that the purchaser may 
readily decide upon the best trees for his purpose, considering climate, fertility and moisture of the 
soil, and exposure. 
The system of nomenclature is to give the common or English name whenever that is best 
known, followed by the Latin or botanical name as given in the Cyclopedia of American Horticul- 
ture, and such botanical synonyms as have been in recent use. 
We have developed a method of producing numerous fine flexible feeding-roots close to the stem, 
and a method of digging and carrying which preserves them. For shipment by rail we offer trees 
thus prepared, up to 35 feet high, loaded on open cars and boxed over. 
Price, 50 cts. to $1 each, and upward. Trees of extra size and quality, $1 to $3 each, and upward. 
Quick-growing trees, such as Silver Maple, Catalpa and Poplar, 20 to 50 cts. each. Prices are subject to 
change according to quality, size and quantity.
