AMERICAN WHITE BIRCH (Betula alba)— 
The White Birch is a medium sized tree native 
in Minnesota. The bark is particularly inter¬ 
esting and attractive when planted near ever¬ 
greens and red barked shrubs. 
BUTTERNUT (Juglans cinerea)—A well 
known, hardy, nut-bearing tree. 
CATALPA—This tree is especially attractive 
with its immense dark green leaves. Is not ex¬ 
ceptionally hardy and should be planted in a 
somewhat protected location. 
BECHTEL DOUBLE FLOWERING CRAB 
(Malus ioensis flora plena)—A large shrub 
or small tree, attaining a height of about 10 
feet. Produces an abundance of double pink

crab producing an abundance of brilliant red 
fruits that stay on late in the fall. 
ASH, GREEN (Fraxinus lanceo- 
lata)—A tall rapid grower with 
smooth gray bark and glossy 
fern-like leaves. A very good 
shade tree.

ful lawn tree which is very attrac¬ 
tive the latter part of the summer, 
when it is covered with masses of 
red berries. Height 15 to 20 feet. 
WEEPING MOUNTAIN-ASH

reach the ground. Well developed 
heads. 
CUTLEAF WEEPING BIRCH 
(Betula pendula gracilis)—An 
elegant, erect tree with slender 
drooping branches and finely cut
