BIRCH, Cut Leaf Weeping. The Cut Leaf Weeping Birch is the finest and 
most graceful of all the weeping* trees. A most beautiful tree with cut 
leaves- long, slender, pendulous, weeping branches; white bark. In ship¬ 
ping out Cut Leaf Weeping Birch trees, we take extra care by packing the 
roots with damp moss. Customers should have the hole all ready to 
receive the tree before removing the moss; then plant immediately and 
success is sure. Use plenty of water in the hole and tramp the ground 
solid about the roots. These are Minnesota grown Birch. They are hardy, 
pine 6-8 ft. trees, $2.00; $3.85 per pair. 
ELM, American White. The American Elm is probably our greatest street 
and ornamental tree. That is, it will adapt itself to and do well in more 
soils and locations than any other tree that we know of, and at the same 
time grow into an immense, beautiful, and graceful tree. Does well in 
heavy soils and light soils. The Elm, contrary to general belief, is a rapid 
grower and soon grows into a large tree. Specimen Trees Only. 6 to 8-ft., 
$1.25 each; a pair for $2.25. 5 or

ELM, Moline. This is a selection 
from the American white Elm. 
It grows to be just as large and 
as graceful a tree. It was se¬ 
lected because of its rapid thrif¬ 
ty growth, the rich dark look 
of bark and foliage, and because 
of its immense, rich glossy 
leaves. It is rather upright in 
growth, and, being a grafted 
tree, all of them look very much 
alike. Specimen Trees Only. 6 to 
8-ft., $1.50 each; $2.75 per pair. 5 or more at $1.25 each. 
ELM, Chinese. This is the new wonder tree from far northern China. No tree 
to our knowledge ever received a more enthusiastic welcome from the 
American people than the welcome received by the Chinese Elm. A very 
rapid growing tree, it very quickly grows into a large upright tree, with 
beautiful glossy leaves. The best tree for dry locations or sandy soils that 
we know of. Specimen Trees Only. 5 to 6-ft., 75c each. 5 or more at 60c. 
MAPLE, Hard or Sugar. Wherever this tree does well, it is the most beau¬ 
tiful, barring none, of all our great trees. It grows into a tree of great 
size, very symmetrical, pyramidal in form with dense, clean, beautiful 
foliage. It is indeed a thing of great beauty, either for a specimen lawn 
tree, or for a row along the boulevard. Foliage colors rich in the fall with 
orange and scarlet. Specimen Trees, 6 to 8-ft., $1.75; pair, $3.25. 5 or more 
trees at $1.50 each. 
MAPLE, Schwedler. This is the beautiful red maple. The trees have the 
same beauty of growth that our native Hard Maple has. But in the spring 
from the time growth starts and for about six weeks the tree is abso¬ 
lutely red. One of our hardiest and most beautiful trees. To grow a good 
Schwedler Maple the limbs should be allowed 
to grow close to the ground. Nice 5-6 ft., $1.50; 
4 or more at $1.35. Specimen Trees, 6 to 7-ft., 
$2.25; a pair for $4.00. 
MOUNTAIN ASH, European. A fine ornamental tree 
for the lawn. Almost without pruning, it forms 
a magnificent, fairly dense, well-shaped head, 
covered from midsummer until midwinter with 
large clusters of beautiful scarlet berries—a 
brilliant color for the landscape. Regular grade, 
6-8 ft., $1.00. Specimen Trees, 
6-8 ft., $1.50; 4 or more at 
$1.25 each. 
POPLAR, Bolleana. (Silver 
Leaved). Very similar in 
growing habit to the 
popular Lombardy 
and used in similar 
planting situations. A 
very desirable, tall- 
growing, spire-like 
tree with beautiful 
dark maple-like 
leaves which are lined 
underneath with sil¬ 
ver. Often used to fill 
out as corner back¬ 
ground and to blot 
out high blank walls 
of neighboring build¬ 
ings. Nice 5 to 6 ft., 85c; 2 or more at 75c. 
WEEPING WILLOW, Niobe Golden. The golden weeping willow, the 
most beautiful in that species. Very appropriate to use in cemetery 
planting. Splendid as a lawn tree, for planting near pools or along 
the banks of streams. A graceful weeping tree with deep rich golden 
bark on trunk and along the long slender weeping branches. Hardi¬ 
est of all the weeping willows. 4 to 5-ft., 75c; 5 to 6-ft., $1.00 each; 
2 for $1.90.
