Silver Maple (sec page 38) 
• Mountain Ash • Sorbus 
American {S. Americana). A tree of me- 
dium size, with clusters of orange-colored ber- 
ries, from midsummer until frost. It is highly 
ornamental, especially through the fall and 
winter. 
European (S. aucuparia). A more desirable 
variety than the American, of finer growth and 
form. It blooms during the early spring, after 
which the bright scarlet berries are formed in 
clusters and remain on the tree until late fall 
or winter. 
Oak-leaved (5. qucrcifoUa). A hardy tree of 
fine pyramidal shape. Foliage simple and 
deeply lobed, bright green above and downy 
beneath. A fine tree for the lawn. Grows from 
20 to 30 feet high. 
Peach • Persica 
Double Rose-flowering {P. rosea flore plena). 
I'lowers double; pale rose-colored, showy and 
beautiful in bloom. 
Double White-flowering (P. aiha Jlore plena). 
Very ornamental. Flowers pure white and 
double. Perfectly hardy. Should be planted 
with the rose-colored kinds for contrast. 
Plane Tree • Platanus 
Oriental Plane {P. oricntalis). Leaves heart- 
shaped at base, deeply cut. Is among our tall- 
est trees, growing rapidly into massive pro- 
portions. Hardy and free from disease. It does 
well in cities and near the seashore. 
Poplar • Populus 
Bolleana. Recently introduced and of much 
value. Habit similar to the Lombardy Poplar. 
Bluish gray bark; dark green leaves, which are 
white underneath. 
Carolina {P. monilifera) . A sure and rapid 
grower, with heart-shaped leaves that are 
glossy and fresh-looking. Largely planted in 
cities and for shade about new grounds. 
Lombardy ( P. fasligiala). A form which con- 
trasts nicely with the rounded outline of other 
trees. It branches from the ground, and is 
valuable for tree-hedge purposes. Attains a 
height of ICQ to 150 feet. 
Silver-leaved (P. alba). Of wide, spreading 
habit, growing rapidly, and nourishing any- 
where. Leaves large, lobed, glossy green above 
and white as snow beneath. 
Maidenhair Tree • Salisburia 
Ginkgo {S. adianlifolia). Remarkable in 
that it has the characteristics both of conifers 
and deciduous trees. Beautiful, rich, glossy, 
foliage, similar to the Maidenhair fern. Tall 
and upright, of raoid growth, rare and elegant. 
Your attention is called to the notes on mulching 
that appear in this bD^k. This is an important point 
in successful fruit-£r3wing.
