SHADE TREES 
. . your finest legacy 
to future generations 
BIRCH, SILVER (Cut Leaf Weeping) —Considered the most beauti¬ 
ful of all trees. Delicately cut leaves on graceful drooping branches, 
with the gleaming white bark, make it beautiful summer and winter. 
Especially fine for lawns as it will not kill grass under tree. 
BIRCH, PYRAMIDAL— A rare tree which is fine for background, 
screen or accent effects. It forms a narrow, columnar tree, very 
symmetrical. Has the lovely white bark and birch leaves. We like 
it better than Lombardy Poplar. 
ELM, MOLINE— This is a 
selected budded type of 
the American White Elm. 
Grows in a broad pyr¬ 
amidal shape, making a 
large tree. Rapid grower. 
Large handsome leaves. 
MAPLE, NORWAY— Very 
fine tree for lawn plant¬ 
ing. Rather slow growing, 
but it lasts for genera¬ 
tions. Worth waiting for. 
MAPLE, PURPLE 
(Schwedler) — A mag¬ 
nificent tree for lawn and 
parking. In the spring, 
the foliage is reddish-pur¬ 
ple; in midsummer, it is 
purplish-green; in the fall, 
it is golden yellow. As the 
picture shows, it makes a 
perfectly shaped tree. 
MAPLE. SILVER LEAF —A 
well-known rapid-growing 
tree with silver colored 
foliage. 
MAPLE, SUGAR (Hard)— 
This is the maple which 
colors so beautifully in the 
fall, orange-yellow tinged 
scarlet. Our trees are the 
northern type which col¬ 
ors much better than the 
southern variety. Slow- 
growing, but your grand¬ 
children’s grandchildren 
will play beneath it.

Our shade trees are grown especially for lawn and parking planting. They have good root 
system and well developed tops. Shade trees will give you more beauty and comfort per dollar 
than anything else you can buy. Nothing looks more desolate or barren than a house without trees 
around it. 
POPLAR, LOMBARDY —Everybody knows the striking appear¬ 
ance of this tall, narrow-growing tree, like a church spire. Fine 
for screens and background. 
WILLOW, WISCONSIN WEEPING— This is the popular green- 
barked weeping willow with its graceful drooping branches; 
gives an effect no other tree can give. 
WILLOW, NIOBE —This is a weeping willow also, but the bark 
is a golden yellow. Beautiful summer and winter. 
DOLGO FLOWERING CRAB —This tree is both beautiful and 
useful. In spring, it is just full of beautiful blush-colored flowers. 
Then the fruit comes in clusters, hanging all over the tree, and 
it becomes a brilliant red. Fruit hangs on for a very long time. 
Makes the finest flavored and most beautiful jelly even after the 
fruit is dead ripe. This tree is beautiful in its growth, beautiful 
in its flowers and beautiful in its fruit. It can be planted right 
in your front lawn and you will be mighty proud of it. Gener¬ 
ally blooms and bears next year after planting. Very easy to grow.
