BETULA—Continued 
B. alba pendula gracilis. Cut-Leaf Weeping White Birch. 
Those who know and admire the distinctive character¬ 
istics and beauty of the White Birch know it is unusual 
and do not expect to find it among ordinary listings 
of popular trees. It forms a pyramidal tree of moder¬ 
ately rapid growth, and as it grows older the younger 
branches become pendulous, drooping decidedly toward 
the ground. We have splendid specimens that are of¬ 
fered at a very low price.

B. populifolia. American White Birch. A medium-sized 
tree with papery white bark and slender, pendulous

Prices reasonable. 
Carpinus - Hornbeam 
Carpinus caroliniona. Hornbeam or Blue Beech. This attrac¬ 
tive, slow-growing tree deserves wider planting. In foliage 
it resembles the native Beech but is much more compact 
and graceful in habit of growth. The terminal growth has 
a reddish cast, and foliage colors scarlet to orange-yellow 
in the fall. Fine where a small, compact specimen is 
wanted. Each 
6 to 8 ft.$2.50 
5 to 6 ft. 2.00 
Cladrastis - Yellow-Wood 
Cladrastis lutea. So called because the wood was formerly 
used to make a yellow dye. A native tree of spreading 
habit, with foliage generally resembling the ash. It pro¬ 
duces great drooping panicles of white pealike blossoms 
not unlike Wisteria. Foliage brilliant yellow in autumn. 
Each 
5 to 6 ft.$2.00 
Celtis - Hackberry 
Celtis mississippiensis. The native Hackberry is one of our 
best trees. It is not rapid in growth but is comparatively 
free of disease and reaches a height of 40 to 60 feet. 
Grows on either dry or wet soil, and the fruits are attrac¬ 
tive to birds and children. Each Five

binger, blooming in April, and literally covered with red 
or pink blooms before the leaves appear. It is a small, 
shapely tree, with large, deep green leaves. May be used 
in heavy mass-planting of shrubs, with white-flowering 
dogwood or against evergreens or white birch, to furnish 
contrast.

Cornus - Dogwood 
Cornus florida. White-Flowering Dogwood. A native tree, 
well known to everyone. It is beautiful all the year, and 
there is hardly a woody plant quite as useful as our native 
Dogwood. Its blossoms are conspicuous, coming early in 
the spring. The foliage is attractive all summer, and in 
the fall colors beautifully, with red berries that hang on 
most of the winter It can be used as a specimen, or in 
groups as a background for shrub borders. In contrast with 
bright, flowering plants like redbud, it is especially showy.

CORNUS—Continued 
C. florida rubra. Pink-Flowering Dogwood This is not a new 
or uncommon tree but one too often overlooked as a means 
tor beautifying home grounds. The common white va¬ 
riety may be better known but this pink-flowering type 
affords the loveliest display. Our trees are shipped balled 
and burlapped to insure safe and sure growth. Once 
started, they need but simple care. Like the white-flower¬ 
ing kind, the leaves of this Dogwood color attractively in 
the fall. Each

Blue, Green, and American Ash. We offer these three varie¬ 
ties which are not unlike in appearance and which are all 
native. The whole group is desirably successful in dry, 
moist, and lime soils. These should be more generally 
planted, especially in the paddock and for reforestation 
purposes. Each Five

Ginkgo - Maidenhair Tree 
Ginkgo biloba. A deciduous, cone-bearing tree allied to the 
pine family. On close examination of the leaves, one will 
note the aborted pine needles bound together into a solid 
leaf. It is of Asiatic origin and carries with it the in¬ 
describable oriental appearance in the shape and position 
of its branches, leaves, character of growth and color of 
bark Perfectly hardy, and here and in the East is largely 
used for avenue trees. Large sizes available also.

Redbud or Judas Tree 
Koelreuteria - Varnish Tree 
Koelrcuteria paniculata. Frequently called "Golden Rain 
Tree" because of the many yellow blossoms. It grows 20 
to 30 feet high, and is of globular shape. In its young 
stages it is not so shapely but develops into an interesting 
specimen ' Each Five

Juglans - Walnut 
Juglans cinerea. Butternut. This native tree is perhaps the most 
precocious of the nut-bearing trees. It is rapid in growth, 
quickly making a round-headed tree. If you want nuts quickly, 
plant Butternuts.

Liquidambar - Sweet Gum 
Liquidambar styraciflua. Another native tree not appreciated. 
It is not of rapid growth nor especially easy to transplant, but 
the glossy foliage in summer, the brilliant color in the fall, 
and the unusual appearance of the young branches with corky 
bark in the winter are considerations that make it especailly 
valuable.

Morus - Mulberry 
Morus alba pendula. Weeping Mulberry. A very odd tree, made 
attractive by its long sweeping branches that touch the 
ground. It is grafted on its parent stock, Russian Mulberry, 
and is entirely free of all diseases. Bears some fruit. 2-yr. 
heads, $2.50 each; $11.25 for 5. 
Japanese Flowering Cherry 
MORUS—Continued 
M. tatorica. Russian Mulberry. This makes a round- 
headed tree, quick of growth and with profuse foli¬ 
age. It is wonderfully productive of fruit and for 
anyone wishing to attract birds, it cannot be sur¬ 
passed. If planted in chicken-runs it will produce 
fruit for several months. This fruit is considerably 
smaller than our native variety but the tree bears 
so profusely that it is visible for a considerable dis¬ 
tance.
