White Birch. 
CRAB, RED SILVER. Is a beautiful orna¬ 
mental tree. It is red all over the tree, in leaf, 
bark, and wood. The under sides of the leaves 
are of a silvery color, the blending of which 
with the rich maroon-red of the upper surface, 
makes a beautiful combination. The leaves hold 
their rich red color throughout the summer to 
a much better degree than any other similar 
plant. The somewhat cut-leaf character of the 
foliage, the very dark red blossoms followed by 
the abundant dark red fruits, makes a most 
strikingly beautiful combination that puts the 
Red Silver Crab in a class by itself. We paid 
$10.00 for a small one-year-old tree less than 
3 feet high. 
MAPLE, HARD. One of the most sym¬ 
metrical and well rounded trees native to 
America. A straight grower, vigorous, stately, 
inclined to form a spreading head when given 
plenty of room. A regal tree for the avenue, a 
iife-long friend on the home grounds, and a 
specimen for the parks. Deeply lobed dark 
green foliage, changing to orange and red tints 
in autumn. 
MOUNTAIN ASH, EUROPEAN. Very 
beautiful, with straight, smooth trunk. Foliage 
deep green, turning yellow in autumn. Erect 
growth, 20 to 30 feet high. White flowers in 
May, followed by bright orange-red berries 
which cling all winter. Interesting for lawn or park 
Start this year at these low prices. The varieties listed here are dependable, they have 
good tops and good roots. 
BASSWOOD (American Linden). A well known, stately tree with large, heart- 
shaped leaves of a pleasing green color. A vigorous grower, forming a large, round- 
headed tree. 
BIRCH, WHITE. A beautiful graceful upright tree with white or cream-colored bark 
which makes pleasing contrast with the dark trunks and limbs of other trees. Very effec¬ 
tive among evergreens in clumps of 3 or 5 trees. 
BIRCH, WEEPING CUT-LEAF. One of 
the most beautiful trees for the lawn, with 
delicately cut foliage. The bark is silvery 
white, forming a beautiful contrast with the 
foliage. It makes a rapid growth. 
CRAB, BECHTEL’S DOUBLE FLOW¬ 
ERING. Is very showy in May when covered 
with the double pink blooms. The foliage re¬ 
sembles that of the wild Crab. 
CRAB, DOLGO. A most beautiful and 
useful lawn tree, has a profusion of white 
flowers in spring and loads of fiery red crab 
apples in fall. Unexcelled for jelly. 
CRAB, HOPA. The deep pink blossoms 
are followed by bright red fruits that hang 
to the tree for weeks, making a very showy 
appearance. The leaves on tips of twigs have 
a reddish color. 
ELM, AMERICAN. Our noblest shade 
tree, large and spreading, combining strength 
and grace. There is no better street tree and 
nothing finer for large lawns. The charm of 
the old New England village is proverbial, 
but it is something always identified with its 
Elms. They grow anywhere and are very long 
lived. We grow our Elms by budding and 
grafting. This insures uniform habit of 
growth. There is just as much difference 
between our budded Elms and the common 
seedling Elms, which are ordinarily sold, as 
there is between the tame Plums and the 
wild ones. For street planting, it is especially 
desirable to have all the trees of uniform size 
and shape. This can only be obtained by 
using the budded or grafted Elm. We offer 
the Minneapolis Park Board Elm, selected by 
Supt. Theodore Wirth, as being the best for 
form and hardiness.

Shade and Ornamental Trees 
Are a Sound Investment 
POPLAR, BOLLEANA. Smooth gray bark; leaves dark green above and 
snowy white beneath. Useful to break the sky line of plantings. 
POPLAR, LOMBARDY. General effect a darker green than Bolleana. It may 
be used as a tall background screen, or in small clumps or singly to break the 
sky line. 
HAWTHORN. The hardy native Hawthorn with 
characteristic thick set tops is beautiful in spring when 
white with fragrant blossoms and again in autumn when 
full of bright red fruit which clings for weeks to the 
trees. 
WILLOW, NIOBE GOLDEN WEEPING. Golden bark and graceful habit 
make this a very useful and attractive tree especially for background and screen 
planting.
