DECIDUOUS TREES 
Our list of this very important class of ornamentals has been carefully 
selected, and includes only such trees as arc of real value and use- 
fulness for general use, such as street and avenue plantings, for specimens 
on the lawn, for shade, and for grouping and mass effects. They com- 
prise only the hardiest varieties and best growers. Owing to the peculiar 
nature of our soil a better and more fibrous root-system could not be 
produced anywhere. 
ACER The Maples 
The Maple is probably the best known and most popular of our shade 
trees. It is a hardy, vigorous grower, usually free from insect and 
fungous attacks, and thrives in any kind of soil and under almost any 
condition.

growth, with interesting, corky branches and dull green leaves. 5 to 6

A. dasycarpum (Silver Maple). This is a very popular Maple; a 
very rapid grower, therefore much in demand for quick effect. The light 
green, deeply cut leaves are silvery white underneath. We have a 
fine stock of this variety. 8 to 10 ft., 75 cts. each, $6 for 10; 10 to 12 ft.,
