grower, and when planted alone it grows into a 
beautiful shade tree. One of the best shaped of 
any of the hardwood trees which stands any

• KENTUCKY COFFEE TREE 
A perfectly hardy tree, medium rapid in 
growth, attaining a height up to 100 feet. Pods 
often ten inches long cling to trees throughout 
the winter. Leaves similar to the Black Walnut. 
Easily transplanted. 1 yr. old. 6 for $1.00, $1.50 
per 10, $4.00 per 100. 
• TREE OF HEAVEN-Chinese 
(Ailanthus)—A beautiful tree that is a very 
rapid grower. The foliage is a rich green, very 
much resembling the leaf arrangement of the 
Black Walnut. It is used very extensively in 
some cities because it resists smoke better than 
many other trees and is not attacked by insects. 
If plants are cut back to the ground after they 
have become established they will throw up 
strong shoots and make an excellent screen.
