MAPLES 
Lombardy Poplar 
MAGNOLIA 
SOULANGEANA. One of the hardiest and fin¬ 
est of all the magnolias. Its blooms are 
from three to five inches across, cup shaped, 
white and rosy violet, opening- before its 
leaves which are massive and gdossy green. 
LENNEI. Very rich in color, the outside be¬ 
ing- rosy purple with the inside white. Of a 
very bushy habit and often flowers twice. 
Foliage a rich dark green and retains its 
ornamental value throughout the summer. 
MOUNTAIN ASH, AMERICAN. A small na¬ 
tive tree, similar in all respects to the 
European type but smaller in size, flower 
and fruit. The leaves are glabrous beneath 
and hardy in the far north. 
EUROPEAN. A beautiful broad topped small 
tree which is always attractive either as a 
lawn specimen or when planted in a group. 
The foliage is rich, dark green and very 
shiny. In late summer and through the win¬ 
ter its great beauty is in its large clusters 
of brilliant red fruit which shows off well 
against the bright green foliage or reddish- 
brown bark. 
OAKS 
PIN OAK. Almost a perfect pyramid and 
described as half weeping when old as the 
lower branches often touch the ground. It 
grows faster and develops the family char¬ 
acteristics earlier than the other oaks. Its 
leaves are a dark glossy green, finely di¬ 
vided and turn to an orange-scarlet in 
autumn. 
RED,. Usually large in size and rapid in 
growth. The young stems and leaf stalks 
are red and the foliage a purplish crimson 
in the fall. 
JAPAN RED LEAVED. Rounded, dwarf trees 
seldom maturing over ten feet in heighth. 
Densely covered to the ground with leaves 
of an unequaled bright crimson brilliancy. 
With the advent of autumn the leaves turn 
a bronze purple red. 
NORWAY. A large tree with dense dark 
green foliage. It develops into a formal 
round head and produces very dense shade. 
A very slow grower but one is well repaid 
for waiting. 
SCHWEDLER’S. The purple leaved Norway. 
Its dark leaves attract attention at all times 
but are unusually fine in spring, when their 
unusual color contrasts beautifully with the 
green of other trees. In autumn they gradu¬ 
ally turn to a golden yellow. 
SIBERIAN. More like a large shrub with 
three lobed leaves and flowers in long pan¬ 
icles. Foliage turns bright red in autumn 
and is often substituted for the true Japanese 
maple. 
SILVER, or SOFT. A hardy rapid growing, 
beautiful native tree. Its rapid growth and 
large size is valuable for producing shade. 
Its leaves are good sized, bright green above 
and silvery beneath, turning to bright yellow 
and bronze in the fall. It produces shade 
quicker than any other variety. 
SUGAR OR ROCK. This is a great tree 
spreading, symmetrical and of grand pro¬ 
portions. Very long lived and does well in 
most soils except wet and soggy soils. It 
roots very deep, allowing grass to grow un¬ 
derneath. Its rich green leaves turn to a 
scarlet and yellow in the autumn. 
WEIR’S CUT LEAF. A silver maple with 
beautifully dissected foliage. A rapid grow¬ 
er with its long graceful branches often 
touching the ground. This tree develops in¬ 
to a lawn specimen of such beauty that it 
is in great demand.

RIGHT AND WRONG PLANTING 
Always set the plant about two inches 
deeper than it was growing in the nursery. 
If the plant was budded or grafted be sure 
that it is planted so that the union is two 
or three inches below the surface of the 
ground.
