THE ELM CITY NURSERY COMPANY, 
No rare exotic has greater beauty of growth, bloom or Autumn coloring than 
our native white flowering Dogwood. In the last of May its showy bloom 
lends its own peculiar charm to our woodland borders and an occasional 
isolated tree or group of them will stand out boldly and command our admiration. 
While this dogwood will thrive under the greatest variety of exposures and soil 
conditions it is most happy in association with other trees, which is fortunate, as 
there are many times in the evolution of a landscape scheme where the use of tree- 
like plants which are naturally suited for planting in the partially shaded fore- 
ground of larger trees is important. We offer two marked varieties as well as 
the native white type, one quite a deep rosy red (Rubra) and the other a light 
pink (Rosea). The latter originated at our nurseries.

i^LBeautiful maples. 
MS a shade and ornamental tree the Maple is to-day one of the most popular, the 
/a Sugar, Norway, Silver, Sycamore and Ash-leaved Maples all being very 
l\, desirable in their many ways. We wish to call special attention to the two 
following which are very marked varieties of striking ornamental character -while 
preserving all the desirable features characteristic of the types: 
Curner's guMcavea Silver maple 
(Acer Saccbarinum or 
Dasycarpum var. Turnerii). 
This new tree originated here at the nursery some years ago appearing among 
a block of several thousand seedlings. It first attracted our attention by its very 
interesting deeply laciniated or fern-like foliage, which was in marked contrast to 
its neighbors. It was later removed to a favorable spot where it had a chance to 
develop and where we could watch it. Since then it has developed rapidly (for 
the Silver Maple is one of our fastest growing shade trees). The tree has a fine 
symmetrical habit, its outer branches are somewhat spreading while the young 
bark, stem and mid-rib of the leaf are of a most brilliant crimson. 
We consider it a most distinct variety and as a specimen lawn tree it surely is 
an acquisition. 
We have worked up a nice stock of the Maple and offer the following sizes.

Scftwedler's flmUer-leawed norway maple '\'i^.%'o'^^TA 
This splendid variety originated in Europe some years ago and will be very 
popular in this country as soon as better known. 
The ordinary form of the Norway Maple, of which this is a variety, is to-day 
a strong competitor for popular favor with the native hard or sugar Maple, it has 
so many merits to recommend it. This dee^ amber- leaved ( Schwedler s ) 
has all the merits of the type together with this special feature of its beautiiul 
foliage which, when it first develops in the Spring, is the most intense amber red 
imaginable, slowly changing as the season advances to a deep rich green mticli 
the same as the copper beech. 
We cannot too strongly recommend this beautiful tree where a mass of bril- 
liant color is wanted through the Spring and early Summer and at the same time 
desire it in the form of a Maple tree. It will thrive almost anywhere and is very 
suitable for planting near the seashore.
