MULBERRY 
TEA’S WEEPING. The most shapely and 
graceful of all our weeping trees. It forms 
a round well shaped head with long slender, 
leaf studded branches that often reach the 
ground. It has beautiful foliage is hardy 
and easy to transplant. Used either for a 
lawn specimen or is very attractive in a 
cemetery planting. Cutting back to the 
crown each year is very beneficial and pro¬ 
duces a much better plant. 
POPLARS 
BOLLEANA, Silver Leaved. Useful as an ac¬ 
cent tree. Developes into a tall spire with 
glossy green leaves which are silvery be¬ 
neath making a pleasing effect when blown 
by the wind. The smooth bark is a silvery 
grayish green. Often used against large bare 
walls. 
LOMBARDY. Often attains the heighth of 
100 feet. Old trees that were well placed 
when planted are today outstanding land¬ 
marks. The leaves are shiny rich green with 
the under side slightly lighter, which makes 
a striking effect when rustled by the winds. 
SIMONI. A very bushy poplar, and as rapid 
a grower as other varieties. Foliage small, 
very dark lustrous green. The bark is stain¬ 
ed with red on young trees and twigs, but 
old trees show up a very light bark similar 
to some varieties of the birches. 
SYCAMORES 
EUROPEAN, Oriental Plane. Used along new 
streets and new allotments where quick 
shade is required. A lofty wide spreading 
tree with deeply lobed leaves, valuable for 
its handsome foliage, hardiness and rapid 
growth. The bark is grayish green during 
the summer but it sheds its bark in spots 
giving it a mottled appearance as the spots 
of its trunk that are revealed are creamy 
white. 
TULIP TREE 
WHITEWOOD. One of the grandest of our 
native trees of tall rounded pyramidal 
habit, with broad glossy fiddle shaped leaves, 
and beautiful tulip shaped flowers. Leaf 
color is green which in fall turns brightest 
yellow.

WILLOWS 
BABYLONICA. A graceful tree of large size.

der leaves and hardier. This is the most 
popular variety and matures into a tall broad
