SHADE TREES 
w Rosedale we grow especially good Shade Trees. The soil insures good root-systems, which are retained when the trees are dug. 
We allow room in the nursery for proper development of trunk and top, and grow only the trees that succeed under conditions in our 
selling territory. Our list of varieties includes trees for almost every purpose. 
ACER • Maple 
The Maples are universally popular. They 
are regular in outline, vigorous growers, beau¬ 
tiful in foliage, and adapt themselves to 
almost any soil. The Norway Maple is es¬ 
pecially desirable for street planting, and 
thrives well near the sea. 
Palmatum atropurpureum (Red-leaved 
Japanese Maple). A comparatively dwarf 
Maple, slow in growth and attaining ulti¬ 
mately about 20 feet in height. Bright 
red foliage and branches. These are excep¬ 
tionally well-grown specimens. Each

Each 
10 to 12 ft.$7 50 
12 to 14 ft..10 00 
FAGUS • Beech 
Sylvatica (European Beech). For screen or 
hedge, this Beech is ideal among deciduous 
trees. It gives nearly as much screen in 
winter as in summer, owing to the fact that 
the dead leaves persist in winter. As it 
bears the shears well, it. may be kept within 
bounds for hedge purposes and grows as 
dense as any hedge. We have a fine lot of 
these trees, about 12 to 14 feet high, that 
would give an immediate effect. They may 
be handled with ball and burlap, although 
it would not be as necessary as the roots 
have been well developed from occasional 
root-pruning. Specimens, $10 to $65 each. 
LARIX • Larch 
Decidua (European Larch). One of the most 
handsome trees in spring. Foliage like a 
soft evergreen. Loses its needles in winter.

LIQUIDAMBAR • Sweetgum 
Styraciflua. A most interesting and satis¬ 
factory shade tree. It likes moisture and 
grows to immense size. The star-shaped 
leaves are blazing scarlet in fall. Very 
resistant to insects. Each

POPULUS • Poplar 
Fastigiata (Lombardy Poplar). Each 
8 to 10 ft.'.$1 50 
10 to 12 ft. 2 00 
Quantity prices on application. 
QUERCUS • Oak 
The Oaks, especially when they attain 
size, are the most picturesque of all trees, 
symbolizing strength and durability. Their 
reputation as slow growers is not warranted, 
for, when once established, they will make a 
yearly growth equal to that of almost any 
ot her species. 
Palustris (Pin Oak). A superb and distinct 
tree. The Pin Oak’s graceful, drooping 
branches support a mass of deeply Iobed, 
sharply pointed leaves, changing to deep 
red in autumn. Jack Frost has never 
shown greater skill than in the coloring he 
produces in the Pin and Scarlet Oaks.

brilliant fail coloring. Each

SALIX • Willow 
Babylonica (Weeping Willow). Long, 
stringy branches droop vertically to the 
ground, and with the narrow light green 
leaves create a soft, velvety texture. Grows 
rapidly, especially when close to water. 
Each 
8 to 10 ft.$5 00 
10 to 12 ft. 4 50 
TILIA • Linden 
Extensively planted as an ornamental tree. 
Nearly all the species are of rapid growth and 
not very particular as to soil. They are 
handsome, upright, and regular in shape. 
The pleasant odor of the flowers is an addi¬ 
tional recommendation. 
Americana (American Linden). Especially 
noted for its great vigor, large, heart- 
shaped leaves, and very fragrant flowers 
in June. No flowers produce so delicious 
a honey as those of the American Linden. 
Each 
12 to 15 ft.$8 00 
1 5 to 18 ft..1 5 00 
Large specimens.$25 to 100 00 
Argentea (White-leaved or Silver Linden). 
Beautiful as lone specimens. Broad, 
shapely habit; leaves almost white beneath. 
A native tree not of the largest size but 
with the most beautiful flowers of all the 
Lindens. Specimens, $10 to $100 each. 
Vulgaris (European Linden). Generally 
conceded the best form for street planting 
as the dark green leaves remain good until 
late autumn. The compact, low-branched 
head is particularly fitted to lawn purposes 
where the branches make a natural canopy. 
Fragrant flowers in June. Each 
10 to 12 ft.$6 00

Large specimens, 25 to 50 ft.

ULMUS • Elm 
Americana (American Elm). As the oak is 
preeminent in dignity and majesty, the 
Elm is preeminent in grace and elegance. 
The graceful umbrella-shaped top, borne 
high above the other trees, always adds to 
the landscape picture. It is not particular 
as to soil and makes a delightful shade as 
it does not branch low, thus allowing the 
breezes free play. Each 
8 to 10 ft.. .'.$2 00 
10 to 12 ft. 3 00 
2 x /2 to 3-in. caliper. 4 00 
3 to 3^-in. caliper. 5 00 
3fi£ to 4-in. caliper. 7 50 
Pumila. A rapid-growing tree with slender, 
drooping branches. Fine for street plant¬ 
ing, and thrives in barren positions in both 
drought and heat. Probably one of the 
best of the very fast-growing varieties. It 
will attain sufficient size to provide real 
shade in just a few years. Each 
2 to 2^-in. caliper, 8 to 10 ft.. . .$4 00
