RED BUD, Judas Tree. A very orna¬ 
mental native tree of medium size, with 
perfect heart shaped leaves and hardy even 
in Canada. Blooms early in the spring, 
before the leaves appear, covering the 
branches with small reddish purple flow¬ 
ers. Hardy; does well also on wet land. 
Price 5 to 6 feet trees.$1.00 
PIN OAK (Quercus Palustrls). An up¬ 
right. vigorous growing variety, forming 
a stately round topped tree, with long, 
slightly pendulous branches. The dark 
green, deeply cut foliage turns to brilliant 
yellow and crimson shades in autumn, 
forming one of the best of our fall colored 
trees. Grows faster than other Oak, 
often making shoots of 2 feet or more in 
one season. 5 to 6 feet, each, $1.50; 10 for 
$14.00; 6 to 8 feet, $1.75 each. 
CHINESE ELM. (Ulmus Pumila.) A 
native of China. A noble, rapid-growing 
tree. Forming a very dense head, with 
smaller, darker leaves than the American 
Elm. Leaves stay on the tree much longer 
in the autumn. The branches project from 
the trunk almost at right angles. In 
some localities this Elm grows better than 
our native. In my nursery they grow fast 
and seem to stand the cold and dry weather 
well. Really a 
beautiful shade tree for 
lawn and street 
planting.

LINDEN or BASSWOOD. A very pretty 
pyramidal tree with large leaves and 
fragrant flowers. A valuable tree for 
street or lawn planting, developing into 
beautiful specimens. Extensively planted 
for ornamental purposes and for bee cul¬ 
ture. Rapid growth, not particular as to 
soil, and perfectly hardy. 5 to 6 feet, each, 
$1.00; 10 for $9.00. 
BLACK WALNUT. A native of Ne¬ 
braska. Of large size and majestic form, 
with beautiful foliage. Grows best on low 
ground, bears very freely. The most valu¬ 
able of all trees for timber, which enters 
largely into the manufacture of furniture 
and cabinet work and brings the very 
highest price in the market. Tree is a 
fairly rapid grower, and also makes a fine 
shade tree. The large, oily nuts are of fine 
flavor and marketable at a fair price. 
Black walnuts are getting very scarce. 
Our government has bought up thousands 
of walnut logs, using them for gun stocks 
and in the manufacture of aeroplanes. The 
price of walnut logs is very high now.
