Carpinus • Hornbeam 
Carpinus caroliniana. Hornbeam or Blue Beech. This attractive, 
slow-growing tree deserves wider planting. In foliage it resembles 
the native Beech but is much more compact and graceful in habit 
of growth. The terminal growth has a reddish cast, and foliage 
colors scarlet to orange-yellow in the fall. Fine where a small, 
compact specimen is wanted.

Pink-flowering Dogwood. No other spring-flowering tree is 
quite so boldly beautiful 
Cornus • Dogwood 
Cornus florida. White-flowering Dogwood. A native tree 
well known to everyone. It is beautiful all the year, and there is 
hardly a woody plant quite as useful as our native Dogwood. Its 
blossoms are conspicuous, coming early in the spring. The foliage 
is attractive all summer, and in the fall colors beautifully, with 
red berries that hang on' most of the winter. It can be used as a 
specimen, or in groups as a background for shrub borders. In 
contrast with bright, flowering plants like redbud, it is especially 
showy. Each Five

C. florida rubra. Fink-flowering Dogwood. This is not a new or 
uncommon tree but one too often overlooked as a means for 
beautifying home-grounds. Dogwood blossoms are everywhere 
loved for their fresh beauty and welcomed as one of the earliest 
signs of spring. The common white variety may be better known, 
but this pink-flowering type affords the loveliest display. Our 
trees are shipped balled and burlapped to insure safe and sure 
growth. Once started, they need but simple care. Like the white- 
flowering kind, the leaves of this Dogwood color attractively in 
the fall. Each

Ginkgo • Maidenhair Tree 
Ginkgo biloba. A deciduous, cone-bearing tree allied to the pine 
family. On close examination of the leaves, one will note the 
aborted pine needles bound together into a solid leaf. It is of 
Asiatic origin and carries with it the indescribable oriental appear¬ 
ance in the shape and position of its branches, leaves, character of 
growth and color of bark. Perfectly hardy, and here and in the 
East is largely used for avenue tree . Large sizes available also.
