TREES 



ACER platanoides. Norway Maple. For street and lawn planting these Norway 

 Maples, lp0 in. in diameter, 12-20 ft. high are in the best possible condition to give 

 you a large quantity of health, beautiful foliage and cool shade. They have five 

 points of a good tree: 



First: Good roots, to make the tree grow vigorously. 



Second: Straight trunks. 



Third: High branches, to let the breeze and light under and clear the traffic. 

 Fourth: Single leaders, so that the branches can be trimmed still higher as the 

 trees grow and not, as frequently the case, hang down to hit the tops of automobiles. 

 Fifth: Broad, symmetrical tops. 



Just right for high-grade real estate developments that want shade now, not 

 future promises and not trees with lop-sided, narrow tops which take several years 

 to grow into good shape. In the old days any sort of a tree would do for a real es- 

 tate development just so the auction announcement could say: "Street trees planted." 

 Now the people want shade and these trees will give it economically. These trees 



were grown in a new way and planted in 

 squares, getting twice as much room at the 

 start, then alternate trees have been taken out.

 we offer 200 trees, 2y 2 -^y 2 in. in diameter at 30
