THE SOUTH’S OLDEST NURSERY 
II 
PRUNUS . Flowering Cherry and Plum 
There is no group of exotic trees as handsome as the flowering 
cherries and plums. The Purple Leaf Plum is the handsomest of 
all the highly colored foliaged plants in the South. The Japanese 
Weeping Cherry is particularly beautiful planted at the end of 
walks or on the sidewalks. On page 7 you will find listed the 
Prunus mume, or Japanese Apricot, which is one of the earliest 
blooming of all the shrubs—frequently in full bloom in the coldest 
part of the winter. 
P. pendula rosea (Japanese 
Weeping Cherry). 10 to 20 
ft. In early April the pen¬ 
dulous branches are covered 
with single, rose-pink flow¬ 
ers in clusters, and the tree 
is literally a mass of 
blooms. The flowers appear 
before the leaves begin to 
unfold. A most desirable 
variety. 
5 to 6 ft., $3.00 each. 
QUERCUS . Oak 
All of our Oaks have been 
several times transplanted 
and, therefore, have a good 
root system. Oaks must be 
severely pruned when transplanted, otherwise there is danger of 
the tree dying. The average person considers the Oak a very 
slow-growing shade tree. Fortunately, this is not the case, as 
growth is as rapid on these trees, considering their longevity, as 
it is on the average shade tree. 
EVERGREEN OAKS. See page 20. 
P. cerasifera pissardi (Pur¬ 
ple-leaf Plum). 10 to 20 
ft. The most valuable of 
all purple-leaved trees. 
It retains its deep color 
throughout the warmest 
weather and its leaves 
last until mid-winter. We 
cannot endorse it too 
highly. 4 to 6 ft., 75c 
each; $6.50 for 10. 
Quercus alba (White Oak). 50 to 100 ft. A beautiful va¬ 
riety with spreading branches, broad, open head, and 
light gray bark. The foliage assumes a deep purple 
tint in fall. One of our finest Oaks, and very desirable 
for street and lawn planting. 
Chinese Magnolia 
Weeping Mulberry 
Q. nigra (Water Oak). 50 to 80 ft. Too well known to need 
description. 
Q. palustris (Pin Oak). 50 to 80 ft. Tree shapely and 
symmetrical. Leaves are a beautiful shade of green, in 
autumn turning to a brilliant scarlet. One of the most 
desirable trees for street and avenue planting. 
Q. phellos (Willow Oak) 50 to 80 ft. A graceful variety 
with narrow lanceolate leaves, resembling those of the 
willow. Well-known native tree, but extremely difficult 
io secure. 
Q. rubra (Red Oak). 50 to 80 ft. Hardy from New Jersey 
to Florida and Texas. 
All Quercus: Each 10 
8 to 10 ft.$2.50 $22.50 
6 to 8 ft. 1.50 12.50 
5 to 6 ft. 1.00 9.00 
SALIX . Willow 
Salix babylonica (Babylon Weeping Willow). 40 ft. Grace¬ 
ful, pendulous Chinese tree. More beautiful than 8. ja- 
ponica, but occasionally injured by late spring frost. 
S. japonica (Japanese Weeping Willow). 40 ft. An im¬ 
provement on S. babylonica, as it puts out its leaves about 
ten days later in the spring, thus protecting it from the 
injuries of late frost. 
All Salix: Each 10 
3 to 4 ft.$*.40 $3.50 
2 to 3 ft.25 2.00 
TAXODIUM . Bald Cypress 
Taxodium distichum (Bald Cypress). 80 ft. A tall-grow¬ 
ing native tree with a broad, pyramidal-shaped head and 
fine, feathery foliage. Each 10 
8 to 10 ft.$2.50 $22.50 
6 to 8 ft. 2.00 17.50 
5 to 6 ft. 1.50 12.50 
4 to 5 ft. 1.00 8.50 
TULIP TREE. See Liriodendron. 
ULMUS 
Elm 
Ulmus pumila (Dwarf Asiatic Elm). 50 ft. Introduced from 
China. Rapid grower and far superior to U. americana. 
Very hardy and disease-resistant. Each 
8 to 10 ft .$1.50 
6 to 8 ft. 1.00 
5 to 6 ft.75 
UMBRELLA CHINA. See Melia.
