IMORUS • The Mulberries 
Morus alba tatarica (Russian Mulberry). Probably the only tree 
that will grow under any condition, even the most unfavorable. Pleasant 
green foliage. The fleshy, sweet fruits are a great attraction to birds.

M. alba pendula (Teas’ Weeping Mulberry). One of the prettiest

value. Grafted stock. 5 to 6 ft., 2-year heads, $1.50; 6 to 7 ft., 2- to 
3-year heads, $ 2 to S3. 
PAULOWINIA 
Paulownia imperialis (Empress Tree). Certainly the most con- 
spicuous and tropical-looking of all shade trees. A rapid grower, 
satisfied with any soil. The enormous leaves often measure 1 8 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. Larger specimens, 
$2.50 to $10. 
PLATANUS Buttonwood 
Platanus occidentalis (Buttonwood). This is the native Plane, one 
of the grandest and most massive of American trees. A useful tree and 
exceedingly pretty in winter, when the vari-colored bark shows effect- 
ively. 10 to 12 ft., Si. 25 to $2. 
P. orientalis (Oriental Plane). Although similar to the above, yet 
it is a better and cleaner tree, especially for street and city planting. 
We recommend it as one of the very best trees for street and avenue 
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.,

Inexpensive, hardy, rapid-growing trees, very much in use for quick 
or temporary effects. Easy to transplant, thriving under almost every 
condition.

to the Lombardy Poplar, but the bark is grayish green and the leaves 
arc dull green above and beautiful, silvery white underneath. Very 
effective. 6 to 8 it.. $1.25 each, $10 for 10; 8 to 10 ft.. St. 75 each, $15

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 hardiest 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 10. 
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;

RED CEDARS IN QUANTITY 
Ask for prices on any quantity. We know how to handle these 
trees and can make prompt delivery. 
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., $1.50; 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., $1.50; 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., $1; 8 to 10 ft., $2; 10 to 12 ft., $2.50; 
Heavier trees, from $3 up.

in winter. 6 to 7 ft., $1; 8 to 10 ft., $1.50.

with stout branches; the rich, dark green foliage turns to a bronze-red

ROBIINIA • The Locust 
Robinia pseudacacia (Black Locust). This is a familiar tree of rapid

foliage is light green and airy. The extremely fragrant white flowers 
appear in June. 6 to 8 ft., 75 cts.; 8 to 10 ft., $1. 
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 io ft., Si. 50; 10 to 
12 ft., S2 to $3.

growing form; similar to the former. 6 to 8 ft., $1; 8 to 10 ft., $1.25.

tall shrub, a native of Europe. It is very popular here carrying 
the first message of spring to us with its numerous catkins ap- 
pearing long before the leaves show sign of budding. Hne and easy 
lor midwinter forcing. Should be in every garden. Easy to grow. 
Fine strong bushes, ready to bloom. 3 to 4 ft., 35 cts. each, $3
