DECIDUOUS 
FLOWERING 
TREES 
Doubtless the two trees described 
are the most beautiful and out¬ 
standing in this class. Both well 
deserve to be classed among the 
Garden Aristocrats. 
LONG-CLUSTERED GOLDEN- 
CHAIN (Laburnum vossi). A small 
tree with green bark and foliage 
like exaggerated clover leaves. 
Flowers are pure golden yellow 
and formed exactly like those of 
Wisteria. The hanging clusters at¬ 
tain as much as 18 to 20 inches 
length and are borne very profuse¬ 
ly in late spring. Very beautiful 
and even the smallest size will usually bloom the first year. Bare roots: 8-10 ft. $3.50, 
7-8 ft. $3.00, 6-7 ft. $2.50, 5-6 ft. $2.00, 4-5 ft. $1.50, 3-4 ft. $1.25. 
Japanese Cherry 
ITO-SHIDARE 
SMOOTH ROSE-ACACIA (Robinia hispida macrophylla). Also called Large Flower¬ 
ing Pink Locust. To make a tree it has to be top-grafted on suitable straight stems. 
Bears a great profusion of large clusters of flowers in late spring. Individually they 
are exactly like large lavender-pink sweet peas. They always bloom the first season 
planted and every spring thereafter. When young the trees look somewhat artificial 
but as the head develops this effect entirely disappears and the result is a beautiful 
round headed tree with a perfectly straight trunk. We have them with heads of various 
ages and development and on stems of different 
height as shown in the following price schedule: 
specimen heavy regular 
top-grafted heads heads heads 
on 8 ft. stems . $6.00 $4.00 
on 7 ft. stems . 5.00 3.50 $2.50 
on 6 ft. stems . 4.00 2.50 2.25 
on 5 ft. stems 
At first the heads balance better with the shorter 
stems but this is only temporary and in the long 
BLIREANA Plum 
run the taller stems are far better.
