Shenandoah—a Pioneer in Trees and Shrubs 
Trees 
All Shade Trees Shipped by Express. 
The lands of the Bible, once considered the finest in the 
East, flowing with milk and honey, now are mostly a barren 
wilderness, with the trees cut off. However, the Jews are 
now planting thousands of trees, the mountains and the 
hills are being terraced and vines adorn their sides. This 
planting has increased the average rainfall of Palestine fifty 
per cent. Take China, for instance, this year, where thou' 
sands are dying for lack of food. Their ancestors, genera' 
tions ago, cut off all the trees and the people are suffering 
for it. 
HOPA RED FLOWERING CRAB. A beautiful pyramidal growing tree 
with attractive foliage. Entirely covered with rose colored flowers in 
April. Fiuit red inside and out, hanging on until late autumn. Very 
hardy and free from disease. 3 to 4 ft., each 75c. 
BIRCH, CUT-LEAVED WEEPING. Not only the most popular of the 
weeping trees, but is indeed a picture of delicacy and grace. Its tall 
slender yet vigorous growth, graceful branches, silvery white bark and 
delicately cut foliage present a combination of attractive character* 
istics raiely met with in a single tree. Excellent for lawn and ceme- 
tery planting. 5 to 6 ft., #1.25 each. 
Catalpa Bungei. 2 for #1.70. 
New Chinese Elm. 
CATALPA BUNGEI (Umbrella Tree). Grafted on 
stems 4 to 7 feet high, makes an umbrella shaped 
top without pruning; perfectly hardy. Leaves large, 
glossy, deep green, heart-shaped. Very desirable tree. 
2-yr., 6 ft., 90c each; 2 for #1.70. 
MOUNTAIN ASH, EUROPEAN. A fine, hardy tree. 
The head is dense and regular, covered in June with 
a mass of white flowers, later with yellow berries, 
which turn into bright scarlet and last long into 
winter, very beautiful. 6 to 8 ft. #1.50 each. 
LOMBARDY POPLAR (Populus nigra italica). In 
shape this is the exclamation mark among trees. Its 
towering spire has an individuality all its own. For 
tall screens and backgrounds, this tree is admirable. 
6 to 8 ft., 50c each. 
POPLAR, CAROLINA. One of the most rapid grow* 
ing trees, with large, handsome, glossy, deep green 
leaves. Succeeds everywhere. Pyramidal in form, mak¬ 
ing a spreading head and dense shade when prop¬ 
erly trimmed. Grasshoppers will not eat the leaves. 
8 ft., 40c each, not prepaid. 
NIOBE WEEPING WILLOW. Much appreciated in 
landscape planting because of its golden bark. No 
other tree affords so brilliant a color. Rapid grower. 
6 to 8 ft., #1.25 each. 
SUGAR or HARD MAPLE. Chieftain of its clan, 
straight and spreading, of grand proportions, roots 
deeply, grows well. Leaves have rich autumn tints of 
clear yellow and scarlet. 6 to 8 ft., #1.50 each. 
MAPLE, SOFT or SILVER. The most rapid growing 
shade tree that you can plant. Leaves are finely cut, 
bright green on upper side and whitish on lower side. 
They are not a silvery white, though, as those of the 
Silver Poplar. For quick results, Soft Maple is one 
of the best trees. 6 to 8 ft., 50c each; 5 to 6 ft., 
35c each. 
CHINESE ELM. Will give luxuriant shade in 5 years. 
Stands more drought than any other tree known. It is 
the first shade tree to put out leaves in the spring and 
the last to drop them in the fall, adding 3 to 5 weeks 
to its usefulness. No other tree approaches this. It 
is a tree of rare beauty. It has dense, dark green 
foliage, with delicate, graceful sprays similar to the 
Cut-Leaf Birch.. 5 to 6 ft., 45c each; 6 to 8 ft., 
65c each. Seedlings, per 100, 12 to 18 in., #2.50; 
18 to 24 in., #3.50. 
MAPLE, NORWAY. One of the most beautiful and 
desirable trees known. Of large size, perfect outline, 
with deep green foliage, which turns to a pale, beau¬ 
tiful yellow in autumn. They are a faster grower than 
Hard or Sugar Maple. 6 to 8 ft., #1.50 each.
