AGAWAM, MASS. 
MAGNOLIA. Soulangeana, 15 -20'. This is 
probably the best known of the early flowering 
Magnolias. The flowers are some three inches 
across, white, shaded pink and purple, and 
cover the tree in early spring before the leaves 
appear. The foliage is large, glossy green, and 
very attractive. Magnolias should not be 
planted in very exposed places, and the young 
trees should be protected in winter for the first 
two or three seasons. 
Soulangeana Nigra. Similar to the above but 
with deeper colored flowers. 
NORWAY MAPLE 
MAPLE. Norway, 50 -70'. A large tree with 
compact, rounded head and large, handsome 
deep green foliage. When young the trunk is 
usually more or less crooked, the crooks disap¬ 
pearing as the tree becomes larger. One of our 
best shade trees. 
Schwedler’s (Purple Norway), 40 -60’. A 
beautiful variety of the Norway Maple, the 
foliage for several weeks in the spring being of 
a bright purplish crimson, changing to a deep 
bronze green as the season advances. 
Silver, 60 -80'. A very rapid grower of irreg¬ 
ular rounded form. Foliage bright green 
above and silvery white on the underside. One 
of the best, if not the best, of rapid growing 
shade trees. 
Sugar or Rock, 50'-75'. Our native hard 
maple. An upright grower of handsome, sym¬ 
metrical shape, the foliage turning to gorgeous 
scarlet, yellow, and crimson in the fall. One 
of the finest shade trees for street or lawn. 
Weir’s Cut-leaf, 60 -80'. Of the same class 
as Silver Maple but with graceful, drooping 
branches and deeply cut foliage. A rapid 
grower and should be severely pruned when 
transplanted and for two or three years there¬ 
after. 
Japan, Red Leaf, 6 -8'. Foliage blood red in 
spring and purplish red all summer. Attrac¬ 
tive and beautiful, but should be planted in a 
sheltered location and given winter protection 
the first two or three seasons. Does best in the 
sun. 
MOUNTAIN ASH. European, 20 -25'. A 
handsome tree of medium size, with attractive 
pinnate foliage and large clusters of bright red 
berries from August to late November. 
MULBERRY. Teas Weeping, 6 -8'. Grafted 
into stems about five feet high, the branches 
droop gracefully to the ground. Foliage a 
beautiful glossy green. We consider this the 
finest tree of its shape. 
OAK. Pin (Palustris), 70 -80'. A good 
grower of broadly pyramidal shape, the 
branches drooping slightly below the horizontal. 
Foliage deeply cut, bright glossy green, chang¬ 
ing to red in the fall. A very desirable and val¬ 
uable lawn tree. 
Red, 70'-80'. A native variety with large 
rich green foliage that turns to purplish crimson 
in the fall.
