We have many fine blocks oj mature, well developed shade trees 
ORNAMENTAL fe? SHADE TREES 
These trees may be used as lawn specimens or combined with tall evergreens and shrubs. They 
are indispensable to any pleasing planting. Picture your home grounds without shade trees to 
give height and at the same time frame the picture. The flowering trees furnish the most striking 
and gorgeous floral display of the year. First the Redbud, or Judas-tree, and the Magnolia— 
then the Japanese Cherries, White- and Pinkflowering Dogwood, Hawthorns and Flowering 
Crabs. Then in Fall come the bright red berries of the Dogwood and the Hawthorn: the Crabs 
loaded with little yellow or red apples and the clusters of orange berries on the Mountain-ash. 
May we offer our twenty-five years experience in helping you to make a selection ? 
The ultimate height under normal conditions is indicated by the dimensions after each variety. 
The number on each variety has a corresponding number in the price list on the green pages. 
ARALIA spinosa. 15'-18'. Devils Walking Stick. 
134 Tropical appearance. Spiny branches. Fine for 
Fall coloring. Very graceful. 
MAPLE 
ACER dasycarpum. 50'-75'. Silver Maple. Good for 
135 Fall coloring. Will grow in moist soil. 
A. palmatum atropurpureum novum. 8'-10'. 
Purple Japan Maple. The characteristic wine red 
Acer 
A. platanoides schwedleri. 60'-80'. Schivedler Maple. 
The young leaves are bright red, but as Summer ap- 
140 proaches turn to a rich, dark green with a suggestion 
of purple in them. This brightens up again in Autumn. 
A. rubrum. 80'-100'. Red Maple. A well-loved native 
so noticeable in Spring, when the fiery red blossoms 
141 cover the branches and again in Autumn, when the 
vivid scarlet dress is a high spot. Ordinarily found 
in low places but succeeds well in high land too. 
LEWIS & VALENTINE Our Mature Nursery Stock Can Save You 20 Years 
136 coloring is persistent throughout Summer in this 
improved form. Makes a well shaped, compact bush, 
and improves with age. Are very bushy plants. 
A. palmatum dissectum. 5'-6'. CutleaJ Japanese Maple. 
Deeply cut leaves impart a lacy, soft appearance to 
137 the flat topped, low spreading bush. Grows very 
slowly, but at maturity is a characterful billowy 
mound of fresh green. 
A. palmatum dissectum purpureum. 5'-6'. Purple 
138 CutleaJ Maple. Differs from the green only in having 
wine-stained foliage. 
A. platanoides. f>0'-80'. Norway Maple. Probably 
the easiest tree to transplant successfully. Throws 
139 a dense shade, so must be trimmed high if grass is 
to grow under it. Holds its green foliage well until 
late in the Fall. 
A. saccharum. 100'. Sugar Aiaple. Quite a princely 
tree dissatisfied with city life, but assumes noble 
142 proportions in clear atmosphere. The Autumn colors 
ranging through all the fiery tones make this, for spec¬ 
tacularly beautiful foliage effects, the most glorious 
of all trees. 
AESCULUS hippocastanum. 60'-80'. White Horse- 
chestnut. A very symmetrical tree. Very showy 
143 when its large, lilac white flowers appear against its 
dark green leaves. 
A. hippocastanum rubicunda. 40'-50'. Pink Horse- 
chestnut. Great trusses of deep pink flowers are held 
144 aloft each Spring decorating the formal roundish 
pyramid like a Christmas tree. 
AMYGDALUS persica rubra. 12'-15'. Double flowering 
145 Peach. Really a glorious flowering form of our plain 
garden Peach.
