POPULUS The Poplars 
Inexpensive, hardy, rapid-growing trees, very much in use for 
quick or temporary effects. Easy to transplant, thriving under almost 
every condition. 
Populus alba Bolleana (Bolle’s Poplar). In habit and growth similar 
to the Lombardy Poplar, but the bark is grayish green and the leaves 
are dull green above and beautiful, silvery white underneath. Very 
effective. 6 to 8 ft., Si. 25 each, Sio for 10; 8 to 10 ft., Si. 75 each, S15 
for 10; 10 to 12 ft., S2 to S2.50. 
P. monilifera, or deltoides (Carolina Poplar). We do not recom- 
mend this tree for street or lawn plantings, except in places where no 
other tree will grow. The hardest and easiest tree to transplant; the 
pleasant green leaves are never troubled with disease and seldom with 
insects. 8 to 10 ft., 75 cts. each, S5 for 10; 10 to 12 ft., Si to Si. 50 each, 
S7.50 to Sio for ro. 
P. nigra fastigiata (Lombardy Poplar). One of the most character- 
istic trees in the landscape, valuable as well for formal as for natural 
plantings. For quick effect, such as screening, it stands first. Of distinct, 
upright, pyramidal growth. Introduced from Lombardy, Italy. Our 
stock is large and splendidly grown. 5 to 6 ft., 75 cts. each, S6 for 10; 
6 to 8 ft., Si each, S7.50 for 10; 8 to 10 ft., Si. 25 each, Sio for 10. 
Larger trees from Si. 50 up. 
QUERCUS The Oaks 
Probably no other class of trees includes so many native varieties as 
the Oaks. The tree stands as a symbol of vigor, hardihood, strength and 
majesty. A hundred-year-old Oak tree is a picture never to be forgotten. 
Yet the belief that only the next generation can enjoy the beauty of an 
Oak tree we plant is erroneous, because after once established, they push 
forth in a fast and vigorous growth. 
Quercus alba (White Oak). One of the noblest native Oaks of the 
northern states and a lawn tree of great beauty. Bark light gray; 
leaves bright green above, bluish white beneath; fall tint, deep purple. 
6 to 8 ft., Si. 50; 8 to 10 ft., $2; 10 to 12 ft., $2.50. 
Q. coccinea (Scarlet Oak). A valuable Oak for lawn and street 
planting; the deeply cut, bright green foliage turns to a brilliant scarlet 
in fall. 6 to 8 ft., Si. 50; 8 to 10 ft., $ 2 . 50. 
Q. palustris (Pin Oak). Probably the most distinct and most valuable 
of all the Oaks; a tree known for its grace and beauty. The growth is 
erect and symmetrical, the long branches being slightly pendulous. The 
healthy, dark green foliage is deeply cut. A range of colors between 
orange-gold and crimson shades are the autumn tints of this splendid 
Oak. Easy to transplant. Our Pin Oaks have the finest fibrous roots 
that can be produced. 6 to 8 ft.. Si; 8 to io ft., S2; 10 to 12 ft., $2. 50. 
Heavier trees, from S3 up. 
Q. Robur (English Oak). A long-lived tree of spreading habit. The 
leaves are smaller than on our native Oaks, but are retained very late 
in winter. 6 to 7 ft., Si; 8 to 10 ft., Si. 50. 
Q. rubra (Red Oak). A beautiful, broad-spreading fast-growing tree, 
with stout branches; the rich, dark green foliage turns to a bronze-red 
in fall. 6 to 8 ft.. Si; 8 to 10 ft.. Si. 50 to $ 2 . 
ROBIINIA • The Locusts 
Robinia Pseudacacia (Black Locust). This is a familiar tree of rapid 
growth, thriving well in almost any soil and location. The pinnate 
foliage is light green and airy. The extremely fragrant white flowers 
appear in June. 6 to 8 ft., 75 cts.; 8 to 10 ft., Si. 
SALISBURY 
Salisburia adiantifolia (Ginkgo, or Maidenhair Tree). Botanically 
and otherwise perhaps the most interesting of all shade trees. Coming 
to us from China, it is considered the link between conifers and deciduous 
trees. The bark is beautiful and clean; the leathery, pleasant green foli- 
age has the shape of maidenhair fern leaves. 8 to 10 ft., Si. 50; 10 to 
12 ft., $2 to S3. 
SALIX The Willows 
Salix Babylonica (Weeping Willow). Our popular Weeping Willow, 
whose graceful, hanging branches droop clear to the ground or surface of 
water if planted near the water's edge. 6 to 8 ft.. Si; 8 to io ft., Si. 25. 
S. Babylonica dolorosa (Wisconsin Weeping Willow). A very strong- 
growing form; similar to the former. 6 to 8 ft., Si; 8 to 10 ft., $1.25. 
S. pentandra (Laurel-leaved Willow). A desirable small tree or 
bush for screen and group planting. The green shining leaves resemble 
in shape and size those of a sweet bay tree. 3 to 4 ft., 50 cts. each, $4 for 
10; 4 to s ft., 75 cts. each, $5 for 10; 5 to 6 ft., Ji each, $7.50 for io. 
SOPHORA 
Sophora Japonica (Japan Pagoda Tree). This is a perfect lawn 
tree, quite distinct. The foliage is soft and delicately colored; the clusters 
of creamy white blossoms are very conspicuous in August. 4 to 5 ft., 
Si. 50; 6 to 7 ft., Si. 75 to S2. 
SORBUS • Mountain Ash 
Sorbus, or Pyrus aucuparia (European Mountain Ash). A very 
hardy, small, ornamental tree of symmetrical, round form. The leaves 
are compound, dark green, turning a striking yellow in fall. Broad, flat 
corymbs of white flowers appear in early summer, followed by huge 
clusters of bright red berries; these are eagerly sought by birds. A few 
Mountain Ash trees around the house will provide much pleasure to 
bird-lovers. 6 to 8 ft., Si; 8 to 10 ft., Si. 50. 
TAXODIUM • The Cypress 
Taxodium distichum (Deciduous or Bald Cypress). This is a 
highly ornamental tree that should be more planted. It is of a stately, 
pyramidal shape, the foliage having a light green, fleecy, cheerful ap- 
pearance. It is probably the most remarkable tree in so far as it will thrive 
in dry soil as well as in swampy places. If actually growing in the 
water, the roots will form peculiar-shaped knobs or knees, through which 
air is provided for the roots. 3 to 4 ft., 75 cts; 4 to 5 ft., Si to Si. 50. 
TILIA The Linden 
Tilia Americana (American Linden). A fine tree for lawn and avenue 
planting. The leaves are heart-shaped, dark green above, lighter below; 
the small yellow flowers, opening in spring, are very fragrant. 8 to 10 ft., 
Si. 50 each, S12.50 for 10; 10 to 12 ft., S2.50 each, S22.50 for 10. 
T. argentea, or tomentosa (Silver-leaved Linden). A shade tree of 
distinctly ornamental value. A vigorous grower, of pyramidal form; the 
large leaves have an effective silvery sheen beneath. 8 to 10 ft., Si. 75; 
10 to 12 ft., S2.50 to S4. 
T. Europaea (European Linden or Lime Tree). A very hardy, adapt- 
able shade tree, with plenty of foliage; very fragrant when in bloom. 
8 to 10 ft., Si. 25 each. Sio for 10; 10 to 12 ft., Si. 75 to S2.50 each, 
S15 to S20 for 10. Prices for large specimens of Lindens on application. 
ULMUS The Elms 
A desirable class of trees, equally useful for landscape work as well as 
for street and avenue planting. The finest specimens and the grandest 
avenues of Elms are found throughout the eastern states. 
Ulmus Americana (American Elm). One of our best-known native 
trees. Extremely thrifty, hardy and satisfied with almost any soil. 
Our transplanted Elms are unsurpassed for vigor and root-system. 
8 to 10 ft., Si each, S7.50 for 10; 10 to 12 ft., Si. 50 to S3 each, S12.50 to 
S25 for 10. Large specimens, from S5 up. 
U. campestris (English Elm). As good as our native Elm, but holds 
its leaves longer in autumn. 8 to 10 ft., Si; 10 to 12 ft., Si. 50 to $ 2 . 50. 
U. latifolia. A splendid variety, with large leaves and fine, smooth 
trunk. 8 to 10 ft., Si; 10 to 12 ft’., Si. 50; 12 to 14 ft., $ 3 .
