Ash. White (Frasinns Americana) — 
50' to 60'—One of the most desirable 
trees for landscape and street planting. 
The trunk is straight and smooth. Ex¬ 
ceptionally clean and rapid growing, 
with handsome foliage which in 
autumn colors a mellow gold tinged 
with bronzy purple. It is easily trans¬ 
planted and prefers a rich loamy soil 
with sunny exposure but grows well in 
any well-drained location. 
The pleasing p a I - 
terns of interlacing 
houghs anil leaves 
form a picture of 
never-ending charm, 
while cool shade af¬ 
fords restful c o n- 
tentment.

60'—Shapely, round headed trees with 
slender, spreading branches. Rapid 
growing. 
Ash, Mountain, European (Sorbus 
Aucuparia) — 20' to 30' — Handsome 
foliage turning to orange-scarlet in 
fall. The white flowers appearing in 
May are followed by large clusters of 
red fruits which remain most of the 
winter. 
Birch, White (Betula Alba) —30' to 50' 
—The old wood is white. Effective as 
lawn specimen. 
Birch, Cutleaf Weeping (Betula Laci- 
niata Pendula) —30' to 40'-—White bark,

Elm. American (Ulmus Americana) — 
SO' to 100'—A noble native tree of ma¬ 
jestic height and graceful drooping

in the yard. Indispensable for park and 
avenue plantings.

50'—A very fast grower, enduring 
drought and extremes of temperature, 
very free from diseases and insect in¬ 
jury. Leaves out early in spring and 
sheds them late in fall. Leaves smaller,

of shade trees. Straight and symmetri¬ 
cal, resistant to diseases and long lived.
