Lombardy Poplar 
Tall, slim, formal—the most striking tree on the landscape. It makes a perfect 
background tree, and its symmetrical, columnar shape brings out the rounded 
beauty of other trees and shrubs. One of the most popular for screens; use them 
singly to accent shrubbery groups or in connection with architectural features. 
50 to 75 feet at maturity.

Bolleana Poplar 
Very much like the Lombardy Poplar in appearance, having the same narrow, 
symmetrical top, but is a hardier, longer lived tree than the Lombardy. Leaves 
gracefully cut, light green above and clear white beneath, flashing beautifully in 
the breeze. Splendid for special landscape effects. 60 to 80 feet at maturity.

Sycamore - Plane Tree 
An excellent tree for street and park planting because of its very rapid growth, 
lofty, spreading branches, and large, handsome, deeply lobed leaves. The bark 
is grayish green which sheds a trifle during the winter, revealing the smooth, 
creamy trunk beneath, and giving it an interesting mottled appearance. Plant in 
deep, rich soil and prune closely. 100 feet at maturity.

FERRIS’ NURSERY STOCK A GENUINE 
IMPROVEMENT TO ANY PLACE 
Stockton, 111. 
Mr. Earl Ferris: March 25, 1933. 
I got quite a lot of stock from your nursery a number 
of years ago, and it has all done so well that we had 
no occasion to order any more. I wish you coutd see 
the Norway Spruce now that I got from you about 21 
years ago. There were 175 trees, 1 to IV 2 feet high. and 
now would average over 30 feet in height. I planted 
them in a double-row windbreak north and west of the 
farm buildings. We also got about 75 fruit trees from 
.you of different kinds, and an assortment of other 
trees, grape vines, and shrubs. This has not only added 
value to my farm, but it has also beautified it, and I 
am sure that the money this stock cost me is the best 
investment I ever made. We are more than pleased 
■with it, and it is there to be seen. 
Yours truly, ELMER L. NADIG. 
Roadside Planting and Reforestation 
The Roosevelt Administration has urged a program 
for roadside planting and reforestation throughout the 
United States. We are co-operating in this great work 
by offering to planters and farmer friends a splendid 
lot of evergreens and shade trees at rock bottom prices—- 
ideal trees for the wood lot, shelter belt, roadside, or 
reforestation. Especially do we call your attention to 
the amazing low price for American Elms on page 47, 
as well as the bargain prices on evergreens given on 
pages 12 to 17.
