THE COE CONVERSE & EDWARDS CO. 
native trees. 
F. sylvatica Riversi (Rivers’ Purple' 
leaf Beech). 30 to 40 feet. The 
finest of all purpledeaf trees, as the 
foliage has fine coloring through' 
out the entire season. The habit of 
growth is compact and symmet' 
rical. 
Fraxinus - Ash 
Fraxinus americana (American White 
Ash). 50 to 60 feet. Probably the 
best of the Ash family. Valuable 
for timber or shade. Should have plenty of room 
to develop. 
F. lanceolata (Green Ash). 50 to 60 feet. A me' 
dium sized tree with slender spreading branches 
forming a round shapely head. 
Morus - Mulberry 
Morus tatarica (Russian Mulberry). 
Is largely planted for screens and 
windbreaks; also used for shade in 
hen yards. The fruit, which is 
rather small, is greatly appreciated 
by the birds and fowls. 
M. tatarica pendula (Weeping Mub 
berry). One of the most graceful 
weeping trees in existence, forming 
a perfect umbrella'shaped head, 
with long, slender branches droop' 
ing to the ground parallel to the stem. It has beautiful foliage, 
rather small, handsomely cut. Is grafted on stems 6 to 8 feet 
high. 
American Elm (See page 17) 
Fagus - Beech 
The Beeches are hardy and thrive 
best in a deep, rich clay soil. The 
glossy foliage and gray bark form a 
fine contrast. Best success will be ob' 
tained by planting small specimens 
and pruning severely at time of trans' 
planting. 
Fagus americana (American Beech). 
40 to 50 feet. One of our finest 
Gleditsia - Honey Locust 
Gleditsia triacanthos (Honey Lo' 
cust). 40 to 50 feet. A large, vig' 
orous growing native tree, with 
long thorns and delicate foliage. 
In many sections is used for 
hedges. 
G., Honey Locust. A variety of the 
above that has practically no 
thorns. 
Platanus - Sycamore 
As an ornamental tree for large grounds, or as a shade tree for 
street planting, this has no superior. The foliage is heavy, and 
not subject to the ravages of insects. 
Platanus occidentalis (American Plane; Buttonwood). 40 to 50 
feet. A large, rapid growing tree that is suitable for street or 
avenue planting. 
Populus - Poplar 
The Poplars are quick growing, upright trees with many ad' 
mirable features. All are useful in landscape work; the Bolleana 
and Carolina Poplars where quick shade is desired and the beau' 
tiful Lombardy Poplar on account of its tall pyramidal form 
which makes it ideal for windbreaks, for accent and for formal 
effects. 
Populus Bolleana. The compact, upright habit of growth com' 
bined with silvery foliage make this a very desirable addition 
to our ornamental trees. 
P. Eugenei (Carolina Poplar). 40 to 50 feet. We think this leads 
as a rapid growing tree. Needs some pruning back for a few 
years after planting; rarely produces suckers; also good for 
screens and shelter belts. Foliage large, glossy green. 
The well planted home grounds have trees on all sides 
of the property. The street and lawn trees frame the 
house and add wonderfully to its attractiveness and value. 
Flowering trees are used in the tall shrubbery border, and 
fruit trees in the rear yard also add beauty and give grate' 
ful shade while supplying the table with the finest of fruit 
—that grown at home.
