ORNAMENTAL TREES, continued 
MAPLE, Silver. A native variety. Is the 
most rapid growing of the Maples, a habit 
which, combined with size, form, grace 
and beauty, gives it great value. The 
foliage is light green, with silvery white 
reverse. It is a very graceful tree, hardy, 
and is valuable for street planting, or in 
locations where a rapid spreading tree 
is needed. Specimen trees set out here 
on our grounds 8 years ago are 25 feet 
high and measure 6 to 7 inches in 
diameter at the butt. We have an ex- 
ceptionally fine stock of these trees, 
trim, straight, clean-bodied, which we 
offer in several sizes to fit the need. 
5 to 7 ft., 35 cts. each, $3 for 10 ; 6 to 8 
ft., 50 cts. each, §4.50 for 10; 8 to 10 
ft., 75 cts. each, $7 for 10. 
Weir’s Cut-Leaf. A variety of the silver. 
One of the most remarkable and beauti- 
ful of trees, with lance-cut leaves, about 
as rapid of growth as the Silver, with 
new shoots slender and drooping, giving 
it a wonderfully graceful appearance. 
An abundance of the slender-lobed 
leaves, set on stalks tinted with red on 
the upper side, gives a rich light green 
ground in which an occasional dash of 
red is seen, making the whole decidedly 
attractive. We are enabled to offer this 
variety in the same sizes and at the 
same prices named on the Silver Maple. 
5 to 7 ft., 35 cts. each, $3 for 10 ; 6 to 8 
ft., 50 cts. each, $4.50 for 10; 8 to 10 
ft., 75 cts. each, $7 for 10. 
POPLAR, Carolina. The most rapid grower 
of them all. Makes good shade in three 
years. Foliage a beautiful, glossy green. 
Valuable for street or lawn ; also excel- 
lent for screen or wind-break. 50 cts. 
each. 
Lombardy. A well-known variety, remark- 
able for its tall spire-like form, and erect, 
rapid growth. Grows to height of 100 
to 150 feet. 50 cts. each. 
Tulip. Like all the family, a rapid grower. 
Broad, light green leaf gives it a very at- 
tractive appearance, which is enhanced 
during the early spring by its variegated 
orange and yellow flowers. 50 cts. each. 
PRUNUS PISSARDI (Purple- Leaved Plum). 
A distinct and desirable ornamental. 
Dwarf habit, well shaped, an attractive 
sight on any lawn. Foliage a dark 
purple, and unlike most of the purple- 
leaved trees, it is easily grown in the 
South. Holds its color during the entire 
season. 4 to 5 ft., 40 cts. each. 
Triloba (Double- Flowering Plum). Flowers 
semi-double, delicate pink, closely set 
along the slender branches. Blooms in 
the early spring. Very desirable and 
very attractive. 3 to 4 ft., 25 cts. each. 
PEACH, Double-Flowering. Red and White. 
Flowers very double and produced in 
great profusion. Blooms very early. 
25 cts. each. 
RED BUD, or JUDAS TREE. Medium in 
growth and size ; very ornamental ; with 
deep, glossy green, heart-shaped leaves. 
Before the leaves appear the tree is 
hidden in a wealth of delicate pink 
flowers, from which fact is derived the 
name, Red Bud. 50 cts. each.
