V I IV Vjr I I\| JL Philadelphus 
Semi-Double. White. Everblooming. Everything 
considered this is the most sensational of all the 
Philadelphus. In fact, we regard it the most valuable 
acquisition to the flower garden of recent years. The 
bush is a moderately strong grower, with us attain¬ 
ing a height of 6 to 7 feet. Rather open, sparse foliage 
to make the wonderful blooms all the more conspicu¬ 
ous. Flowers pure white, semi-double, often 2 inches 
in diameter. Begins to bloom about June 15th with us, 
and blooms profusely for about 3 weeks. Then it 
rests a few weeks and starts to bloom again, con¬ 
tinuing with a small amount of bloom until frost.

ELM, CHINESE. (See opposite page.) 
MAPLE, Schwedler. This is the beautiful red maple. The trees have the same 
beauty of growth that our native Hard Maple has. But in the spring from the 
time growth starts and for about six weeks the tree is absolutely red. One of 
our hardiest and most beautiful trees. To 
grow a good Schwedler Maple the limbs 
should be allowed to grow close to the 
ground. Nice 5-6 ft., $1.50; pair for $2.75. 
Specimen Trees, 6 to 7 ft., $2.25; pair for 
$4.00. 
MOUNTAIN ASH, European. A fine orna¬ 
mental tree for the lawn. Almost without 
pruning, it forms a magnificent, fairly 
dense, well-shaped head, covered from 
midsummer until midwinter with large 
clusters of beautiful scarlet berries—a 
brilliant color for the landscape. 6 to 8 ft. 
Specimen Trees, $2.25 each; 2 or more, 
$2.00 each. 
POPLAR, Bolleana. (Silver Leaved). 
similar in growing habit to the 
popular Lombardy and used in 
similar planting situations. A very 
desirable, tall-growing, spire-like 
tree with beautiful dark maple¬ 
like leaves which are lined under¬ 
neath with silver. Often used to 
fill out as corner background and 
to blot out high blank walls of 
neighboring buildings. Nice 5 
to 6 ft., $1.35; 2 or more, $1.25 
each. 
Very 
European Mountain Ash 
WEEPING WILLOW, Niobe Golden. The golden weep¬ 
ing willow, the most beautiful in that species. Very 
appropriate to use in cemetery planting. Splendid as 
a lawn tree, for planting near pools or along the banks 
of streams. A graceful weeping tree with deep rich 
golden bark on trunk and along the long slender weep¬ 
ing branches. Hardiest of all the weeping willows. 
Nice 4- to 5-ft. trees, 75c. 
Ornamental Trees in Small Sizes 
JAPANESE WALNUT. One of the prettiest of trees to 
grow in the back yard. It develops into a broad spread¬ 
ing tree with dense green foliage and smooth clean 
grey bark. Bears heavy crops of nuts resembling but¬ 
ternuts in appearance and flavor. The nuts come in 
great clusters of from 12 to 16. which hang down like 
bunches of grapes. Shells are thin and easy to crack. 
Strong 2-3 ft., 75c; 3 for $2.00. 
KENTUCKY COFFEE TREE. A tall, fast-growing up¬ 
right tree often found native this far north, so it is 
perfectly hardy. A fine ornamental tree for the lawn 
or to grow in clusters. The foliage is 2 to 3 ft. long, of 
great grace and beauty. Greenish white flowers in long 
panicles come on the end of the current year’s growth 
and are followed by interesting clusters of large, flat, 
red seed pods which hang on all winter. Strong 2-3 ft., 
75c; 3 for $2.00. 
SALISBURIA (Ginkgo or Maiden Hair Tree). An odd 
but beautiful tree from Japan, with peculiar fernlike 
foliage which is entirely unlike that of any other tree. 
Beginning to be much used now as a new ornamental 
tree. A specimen of this tree is growing at Duluth, 
Minnesota, which speaks for its hardiness. Strong 
2-3 ft. trees, 75c; 3 for $2.00.
