VI. Introduced Trees. 
This is one of a series of check lists prepared especially for the 
flower lovers and garden enthusiasts of Cincinnati. The rest of the lists 
can be obtained from the presidents of the various chapters of the Federated 
Garden Clubs, from the president of the Ohio Nild Flower Preservation Society, 
or from the compiler. The cost of issueing these lists is defrayed by the sale 
of seeds of the plants listed. Fresh seeds of any of these plants are now in 
stock or can be collected. Orders can be given by mail or by telephone. 
Of the two hundred or so native and imported trees that are planted 
in the lawns and .along the streets of Cincinnati, only a scant score are 
common enough to be well known. The present list shows how much of beauty and 
variety is available but neglected. The seeds of the following rare or especial¬ 
ly beautiful trees are twenty five cents per packetj most of the rest are twenty 
cents per packet. 
36. AMUR CORK-TREE ( Phellodendrom amurense) : V/ide spreading and graceful 
lavaa tree with corky bark and abundant black berries. 
51. GINKGO, MA1DENHAR1-TREE ( Ginkgo biloba ): Remarkable tree with fern-like, 
fan-shaped leaves that turn a clear yellow in the fall. Easy to raise 
from seeds if protected the first winter. Can be started in flower pots 
where it makes an interesting specimen. The seeds of this and other trees 
should be given a chance to freeze thoroughly before they are planted. 
66. KATSURA-TREE, FALSE REDBUD ( Cercidi whyllum ,i aeonicum ): Small and slender 
tree with scalloped, heart-shaped leaves that turn brilliant colors in 
the fall. Of Oriental origin, like the two preceding. 
73. GREAT MAGNOLIA ( Magnolia grandiflora ): Magnificent evergreen tree 
from the Far South of which a strain is perfectly hardy in Cincinnati. 
The thick glossy leaves, large and fragrant flowers and bright red fruit 
combine to make this one of our most beautiful specimen trees. 
76. HARDY MAHOGANY ( Cedrela sinensis ): Tree somewhat resembling the Ailanthus 
but with shaggy, rustic-looking bark and large drooping clusters of fragrant 
white flowers. 
84. EUROPEAN MOUNTAIN ASH ( Sorbus aucuoaria j: Our seeds (from Piqua, Ohio) 
are from an unusually hardy and prolific strain which in late summer 
and fall becomes loaded down with brilliant clusters of orange fruit. 
91. TRIFOLIATE ORANGE ( poirilus (Citrus) trifoliata ): This is the only hardy 
relative of the Orange and the Lemon and makes a very novel and ornamental 
hedge of rugged appearance. The fruit is inedible but very fragrant. 
113. PRINCESS TREE (paulownia Tomentosa): Vory quick growing tree with larfee 
clusters of fragrant violet-colored flowers.
