 Flowers small yellowish white. Well-known 

 in the South for its fruit. 



EUONYMUS. See Shrubs. 



Specimen Fern-leaved Beech surrounded by Border of 

 Hardy Rhododendrons 



FAGUS. Beech. 



We especially commend the Beeches for 

 lawn and ornamental planting because of their 

 great beauty and enduring character. When 

 transplanting, be careful to prune severely and 

 judiciously, leaving a good supply of strong, 

 well-developed buds. Beeches branched to the 

 ground are in that shape the best trees for 

 screens. 



— f erruginea. American Beech. 40 feet. A noble 



tree of large size and round spreading habit. 

 Attractive at all times, but markedly so in 

 Winter and early Spring on account of its light- 

 colored bark. 



— sylvatica. English Beech. 50 feet. Of more 



dense habit than the American, and without its 

 light-colored bark. Makes a handsome, long- 

 lived tree of sturdy and robust character. 



heterophylla. Fern-leaved Beech. 25 feet. 



Leaves very much dissected and fern-like. 

 Habit dense and symmetrical. One of the 

 very best forms. 



— ■ — pendula. Weeping Beech. 40 feet. Most 

 unique in habit and form of all weeping trees, 

 and where it has sufficient room for develop- 

 ment, the best. Makes a large, handsome tree, 

 conspicuous anywhere. 



purpurea. Copper Beech. 40 feet. In 



character and habit like the English Beech. 

 Foliage of copper color, and not so large as the 

 Rivers. 



pendula. Purple-leaved Weeping Beech. 



40 feet. A recent acquisition of merit. Similar 

 in form and appearance to the Weeping Beech 

 except in color of foliage, which is deep purple. 



Riversii. Rivers' Beech. 40 feet. Where a 



large and enduring tree of purple foliage is 

 wanted, no mistake will be made in planting 

 this. Needs full exposure to sunlight for best 

 development and enduring color. 



FRAXINUS. Ash. 



— Americana. American Ash. 50 feet. A tree 



of rapid growth and large size. An excellent 

 shade and ornamental tree. Valuable for 

 timber. 



— Excelsior. European Ash. 60 feet. A rapid- 



growing tree with spreading head and pinnate 

 f oliage. Timber less valuable th an the American 

 species. 



aucubsefolia. _ Aucuba-leaved Ash. 30 feet. 



The leaves of this variety are golden blotched. 

 The variegation is permanent and the tree is 

 valuable for grouping with purple-leaved trees. 



— Ornus. European Flowering Ash. 40 ft. A 



native of the south of Europe, with greenish 

 white fringe-like flowers early in June, in large 

 clusters at the end of the branches. 



— quadrangulata. Blue Ash. 65 feet. A lofty 



and handsome tree, widely distributed through 

 the central United States. Bark of the young 

 shoots angular and winged.
