Hardy Shade and Ornamental Trees 
NORWAY MAPLE 
This section of our nursery business requires a great 
many acres of land distributed in immense blocks to what¬ 
ever variety of soil is adapted to each peculiar kind of tree. 
In various latitudes, different climatic conditions prevail 
and accordingly affects vegetation so that it should be 
borne in mind to consult those who have had experience as 
to what is likely to thrive in a given locality rather than 
to plant trees at random. Our list of trees is not a large 
one, but we prefer to name only those that are certain to 
thrive within a reasonable distance of Chicago, and have 
always this in mind, and shall be pleased to advise at any 
time as to the best kind to use for a given purpose in any 
locality. 
We wish to call particular attention of our friends and 
customers to two latest introductions, the Klehm’s Moline 
and Klehm’s Vase-Shaped Elms, which are probably the 
finest trees for street, park and lawn planting that have 
ever been introduced. You will find full descriptions of 
these under the heading Ulmus (ELMS). 
We are always pleased to allow personal selection by our 
customers for particular ornamental trees, but in no such 
case will list apply, extra charges will be made for such 
service.
