CATALPA BUNGEI 
Beautify Your Home Grounds 
Trees for Shade and Ornamental Purposes 
W HAT is more pleasing than a proper planting of Shrubbery, Evergreens and Shade Trees around 
a home. They beautify and make it more attractive. Have you not noticed the shrubbery and 
evergreens around the homes of a number of your friends, how they add to the appearance, and 
how you were attracted to them ? An investment of a few dollars will bring about the desired results. 
Deciduous Trees 
American Elm. It is very attractive in any suit¬ 
able location, is entirely hardy and easily trans¬ 
planted. There are more Elm trees planted along 
our streets and highways than any other variety. 
8 to 10 ft., $1.00 each. 
Ash, Mountain. A very beautiful tree for orna¬ 
mental planting. In the early fall it bears clusters of 
bright red berries. 6 to 8 ft., $1.50 each. 
Bechtel’s Crah. When in bloom appears to be 
covered with delicate pink, perfectly double small 
roses of delicious fragrance. 3 to 4 ft., 75c each. 
Catalpa Bungei (Umbrella Catalpa). Grafted 
on stems 5 to 6 feet high, it makes an umbrella 
shaped top without pruning. Perfectly hardy, and 
flourishes in almost all soils and climates. Leaves 
large, glossy, heart-shaped. A very desirable orna¬ 
mental. 5 to 6 feet, $1.00 each. 
Catalpa Speciosa. One of the most rapid grow¬ 
ers. Large, heart-shaped, downy leaves, and com¬ 
pound panicles of white flowers. 8 to 10 ft., $1.00

Cut-Leaved Weeping Birch. This noble tree is 
not only the most popular of the weeping trees, but 
it is decidedly the best. Its tall, slender, yet vigorous 
growth, graceful branches, silvery white bark and 
delicately cut foliage, present a combination of 
attractive characteristics rarely met with in a 
single tree. 6 to 8 ft., $1.50, 8 to 10 ft., $2.00.
