Nursery Grown—Heavy Roots. 
The outstanding tree today. The Chinese Elm is the fastest growing 
and the fastest selling tree offered today and all for very good reasons. 
In five years a Chinese Elm makes a beautiful shade tree. For wind¬ 
break it is unsurpassed, both because of the thickness of its growth and 
because of the quick results that it gives. 
Chinese Elms are especially good in dry soils. They thrive anywhere 
and are long lived. The U. S. Department of Agriculture recommends 
them as adapted to any part of the United States. They originated in 
Asia where the conditions are very difficult. They thrived there where 
other trees could never exist. They’ll stand cold, drouth and heat.

Henry Field Shade Trees 
Big well shaped shade trees. All are express size 
trees. We prepay all orders for $10.00 or more. 
AMERICAN ELM. Here is one of our most popular hardy native trees. Grows 
very tall and graceful and spreading with beautiful drooping foliage. An avenue 
of Elm trees with their branches reaching together over the street gives luxuri¬ 
ous shade and beauty to any town or grandest street. Some towns are famous 
for their beautiful avenues of Elms. Big 5 to 6 ft. trees, 35c each. 
CHINESE ELM. Transplanted trees that in a few years w r ill give shade and 
coolness to your lawn. All are strong, well rooted nursery grown. 4 to 5 ft. 
trees 55c each; 5 to 6 ft. 70c each. 
HOPA RED FLOWERING CRAB. A glory of lovely rosy red blooms in May. 
Beautifully shaped tree and a real pleasure. 3 to 4 ft. 70c each. 
SILVER MAPLE. Sometimes we call this one Soft Maple. It grows exception¬ 
ally rapid, is perfectly hardy in all soils and under all conditions. The foliage 
is bright green with a lighter green underneath. Big 5 to 6 ft. tree 35c. 
POPLAR CAROLINA. This is the most rapid growing shade tree of all. The 
foliage is a bright glossy green. Give it plenty of room and it will soon give 
you adequate shade. 5 to 6 ft. 30c each; 6 to 8 ft. 40c each. 
LOMBARDY POPLAR. This is the tall, 
picturesque, slender tree that makes 
beautiful backgrounds. They can be 
planted very close together to give a 
screen effect and they make a beautiful 
skyline effect. Though not permanent 
trees, they are very effective right from 
out. If you are putting in new plantings and want to get away from 
that “raw” look, nothing can help more than graceful Lombardy 
Poplar. 5 to 6 ft. 30c; 6 to 8 ft. 45c. 
UMBRELLA CATALPA. Very popular trees for small planting. They 
give a very formal effect and are often used for entrances and park¬ 
ing plantings. The round umbrella head forms naturally without 
pruning and they maintain their dwarf size. Effective for both pub¬ 
lic grounds and the home yard. 5 ft. stem $1.00 each; $1.75 a pair. 
MULBERRY RUSSIAN. A very rapid growing shade tree. Loads of 
fruit. Plant one wuth your cherries. 5 to 6 ft. tree, 50c each. 
RED BUD or JUDAS TREE. After the drabness of winter, red bud 
is a solid mass of color of rose red blossoms tight along the stem. 
The large heart-shaped leaves that come later are handsome too. 
American Elm 3 to 4 ft. 50c each.
