C. W. ATWATER & SON 
Deciduous Ornamental Trees 
BIRCH. Canoe, or Paper, 50 -60'. A native 
tree, hardy and of vigorous growth, with very 
white bark. This is the variety from which the 
Indians obtained bark to make their canoes. 
Cut-leaf Weeping, 30'-40'. A beautiful lawn 
tree, with deeply cut foliage and silvery white 
bark. As the tree matures, the branches have a 
graceful, drooping appearance. 
CATALPA. Bungei, 6'-10'. A dwarf form 
usually grafted on stems five or six feet tall, 
where it makes a dense, roundish head. Very 
desirable for its formal effect. 
Speciosa, 30'-40'. A rapid growing tree from 
the West, with large heart-shaped leaves and 
clusters of small white and purple flowers in 
June. 
CRAB, FLOWERING. Bechtel’s, 10 -15'. 
Double flowers like small roses, of a delicate 
pink. Fragrant and very free blooming. 
Redvein (Niedzwetzkyana), 15'-20'. Deep 
pink flowers; while the leaves and even the 
bark have a purplish cast. A larger grower 
than most Crabs and improves in appearance 
with age. 
Scheideckeri, 10'-15'. The double pink flow¬ 
ers of this variety last a long time and are fol¬ 
lowed by waxy, yellow fruits. 
DOGWOOD. White Flowering (Cornus 
Florida), 15'-25'. A native tree with large, sin¬ 
gle white flowers in early spring and brilliantly 
colored foliage in autumn. Can be grown in 
shady places. 
Pink Flowering (Cornus Florida Rubra), 15'- 
20'. A choice variety, producing pink flowers. 
ELM. American, 80 -100'. The well-known 
native tree, largely used for street and park 
planting. 
Moline, 80'-100'. A distinct strain of the 
American Elm, conical in shape as a young tree 
but more spreading with age. 
Siberian, or Chinese (Ulmus pumila), 60 -80'. 
Comparatively new in this section. Claimed 
to be of very rapid growth and to do well on 
wet or dry soils. The leaves are much smaller 
than those of our native Elm and the top is 
usually quite dense and bushy. 
BECHTEL’S FLOWERING CRAB 
HORSE CHESTNUT. White, 50 -70'. A 
handsome, symmetrical tree with large clusters 
of single white flowers in May. Slow in growth. 
JUDAS TREE (Red Bud), 12-18'. A small 
growing tree of irregular shape, covered with 
small, delicate pink blossoms before the leaves 
appear. 
LILAC. Japan Tree, 18'-20'. A small tree 
producing very large clusters of creamy white 
flowers late in June. Hardy and desirable. 
LINDEN. American (Basswood), 60'-80'. A 
native tree, with large heart-shaped leaves, pro¬ 
ducing small white fragrant flowers in June.
