Prunus* Flowering Cherries 
Prunus subhirtella pendula. Weeping 
Japanese Flowering Cherry. As a lawn 
tree this can hardly be excelled. Its sweep¬ 
ing, pendulous branches are literally 
studded with pink bloom early in spring. 
An ornament in any lawn. Grafted trees, 
5 to 6 ft., $3.50 each. 
P. serrulata. Japanese Flowering Cherry. 
Blooming in April, they are the earliest trees 
in blossom. No other flowering tree has the 
beauty of these wonders of the Orient. As 
the demand increases our variety list will 
grow, but the ones named here are the 
choicest. Like all Cherries, they are shallow- 
rooted and do not necessarily have to have 
rich ground in which to thrive. 
Naden. Large, double, blush-pink variety. 
Midseason. Tree of medium growth. 
Shirofugen. Very large, double, pinkish 
white flowers. 
Kanzan. Deep pink, shading into old- 
rose; late; very double. 
7 to 8 ft., S3.50 each, $15.75 for 5. B &B. 50c. extra 
5 to 6 ft., $2.50 each, $11.25 for 5. B&B. 25c. extra 
Quercus • Oak 
Quercus alba. White Oak. One of the 
grandest of all the Oaks. Rather difficult 
to transplant and of slow growth, but 
“ Patience brings a perfect reward.” Leaves 
silver to purplish red in autumn. 
Q. macrocarpa. Burr or Mossy-Cup Oak. 
A native variety of slow growth, but be¬ 
comes a stately tree well covered with 
thick, dark green foliage of heavy texture. 
For permanency it has no superior. Pre¬ 
fers a moist or deep soil. 
Q. nigra. Water Oak. A round-topped tree 
of good form. Will grow in either moist or 
dry soil. Foliage green until late fall. 
Q. palustris. Pin Oak. Of all the Oaks this 
is preferred. Perfectly symmetrical from 
the base branches up. Foliage a shining 
green, deeply cut, and in fall of wondrous 
colors, a combination for beauty, sym¬ 
metry and durability not found in any 
other tree. It is the easiest of the Oaks to 
transplant, more rapid of growth, and may 
be used in any capacity, whether shade, 
specimen, avenue, cemetery, or park tree. 
If one is a little patient the reward is 
commensurate. We are very partial to it, 
and when a hardwood tree is wanted 
for any location we unhesitatingly 
recommend the Pin Oak. If you knew 
it as we do you would be equally enthused. 
Pin Oak (Quercus palustris ) 
Quercus, continued 
Q. rubra. Red Oak. Not as compact nor 
does it color as brilliantly as the Pin Oak. 
Somewhat more difficult to transplant but 
will grow in almost any soil when once 
established. One of the fine Oaks.

Salix • Willow 
Salix babylonica. Babylon Weeping Wil¬ 
low. One of the most graceful of all the 
Willows. Makes a round-topped tree, and 
when it attains some size its long, pendent 
branches are most effective. 
S. elegantissima. Thurlow Weeping Wil¬ 
low. Of rather upright growth when young 
but as it attains height and age its long, 
drooping silvery branches make it the 
most effective of all the Willows. Rapid 
grower in either moist or other good soil. 
Fine for specimens or screen. Best of the 
Weeping Willows.

S. caprea. Pussy Willow. See page 8 for 
description and price. 
Sorbus • Mountain-Ash 
Sorbus aucuparia. European Mountain- 
Ash. While this tree naturally does better 
in cooler climates, it will, in our latitude, 
grow 20 to 30 feet in height. Almost every¬ 
one has seen and admired the Mountain- 
Ash with its great clusters of scarlet berries 
that appear in summer and early fall. The 
leaves are small, somewhat resembling the 
locust. But when the tree is full of bright 
red fruit it affords a magnificent display. 
10 to 12 ft., $2.50 each. 
Taxodium • Bald Cypress 
Taxodium distichum. The great lumber 
tree of the Far South, but native and per¬ 
fectly at home here. Will grow in dry or 
wet soil and blends well in either deciduous 
or evergreen plantings. The light green 
foliage is needle-like and the general shape 
of the tree resembles a spruce. Considered 
slow-growing, but very symmetrical and as 
durable as an oak, in fact the lumber is 
called the “wood eternal.” Each Five

Tilia • Linden 
Tilia americana. American Linden. Some¬ 
times known as Basswood. This native 
tree is very attractive and will grow rapidly 
when planted in low ground. The leaves are 
distinctly larger than other varieties. 
Branches pendulous in habit of growth. 
Makes an excellent shade tree under 
favorable conditions. Each Five

American Elm 
Tilia, continued 
T. vulgaris. European Linden. Similar to 
the American Linden, except the leaves are 
smaller, and the tree is more compact, 
developing into a more shapely specimen.

Ulmus • Elm 
Ulmus americana. American Elm. A 
vigorous native tree. It is rapid in growth, 
with long, spreading, and pendent branches 
forming giant arches over roads and 
streets; as a lawn tree is quick to make a 
marked effect. The wood is tough, the 
leaves are moderate in size, and make a 
permanent tree for shade. The beetle that 
defoliates the European Elms usually 
avoids these. E ach Five

U. foliacea suberosa. Cork-barked Elm. 
Except for the interesting cork formation 
on every branch, this tree in growth, foli¬ 
age, and general characteristics is exactly 
like any American Elm. If an odd or special 
tree is desired this may be used. Prices 
same as American Elm. 
U. americana moline. Moline Elm. We 
graft this type because its singular upright 
characteristics make it invaluable in nar¬ 
row spaces where a slender yet vigorous 
tree is wanted. Its clean growth, large, 
deep green, heavily plaited leaves, added 
to its sturdiness and solidity, will make it 
increasingly popular when it becomes 
known. We have a fine stock and invite 
your inspection. Each Five

U. pumila. Chinese Elm. A new, rapid¬ 
growing tree that does especially well in 
difficult situations, like city soot and 
gasses, dry and poor ground, narrow street 
plots, etc. Leaves smaller than our native 
Elm, habit more pendent and, of course, 
much more rapid. Only drawback possible 
is sleet-damage and Elm-beetle injury. 
Plant for twenty to thirty years’ duration. 
We have the North China strain only and 
it will make up as quickly as a willow.
