Fagus sylvatica (European Beech). A highly ornamental, long- 
lived, compact tree. If planted as a specimen the Beech will develop 
into a mighty, spreading tree of stately appearance, but if treated as a 
screen or hedge it will form a powerful windbreak because of its dense 
growth and its persistent foliage. Requires great care in transplanting.

foliage, profusion of large, beautiful, fragrant flowers, hardiness and ease 
of culture place them first in the line of flowering trees.

handsome foliage; the fruit, when green, resembles a cucumber, but 
turns deep scarlet when ripe. 5 to 6 ft., Si; 6 to 8 ft., Si. 50 to S2.50.

branches clear to the ground. Ornamentals of the highest value. 
Magnolia conspicua, or Yulan (Chinese White Magnolia). One of 
the showiest Magnolias on account of its numerous large, white flowers, 
appearing in April. i>2 to 2 ft., Si; 2 to 3 ft.. Si. 50.

remarkable — deep rose-colored without and pearl-white within. 3 to 
4 ft., S2.50; 4 to 5 ft., S3 to S5 •

cover the tree. 2 to 3 ft., Si. 50; 3 to 4 ft., S2.50 to S3. 50. 
MORUS • The Mulberries

any soil. The enormous leaves often measure 18 inches across; the very 
fragrant flowers appear in June, in long, purplish panicles. 6 to 8 ft., 
strong, Si. 50; 8 to 10 ft., $2. 
PLATANUS • Buttonwood 
Platanus occidentals (Buttonwood). This is the native Plane, one

exceedingly pretty in winter, when the vari-colored bark shows effect- 
ively. 10 to 12 ft., Si. 25 to $2.

it is a better and cleaner tree, especially for street and city planting.

plantings as well as for general purpose. Extremely hardy, thrifty and 
free from insects and disease. 8 to io ft., Si each, S7.50 for 10; 10 to 12 ft..
