SHADE TREES—Continued 
Chinese Elm 
THE ORNAMENTAL PLUMS 
PBTTNUS TRILOBA. (Double Flowered 
Plum.) Early in the spring before its 
leaves appear, the whole tree is decked in 
a fleecy cloud of double light pink blos¬ 
soms, on long slender branches. These are 
very useful for bouquets. Hardy most 
everywhere. I recommend to grow these 
in bush form, especially if wanted for cut 
flowers. One of the prettiest of the early 
flowering shrubs or trees. 
HANSEN PURPLE-LEAVED PLUM. A 
new, very hardy variety. Has prettier red¬ 
dish-purple leaves; more red than any other 
of the purple-leaved plum I know. Really 
a wonderfully pretty tree. 
Prices on Hansen and Purple-Leaved Plum 
—2 to 3 feet, each, 25c; postpaid, 30c. 3 to 4 
feet, each, 30c; postpaid, 35c. 
ASH. American White (Fraxinus Ameri¬ 
cana). A medium grower and valuable for 
planting in the streets or in parks; may 
be extensively planted for timber.

CHINESE ELM. (Ulmus Pumila.) A 
native of China. A noble, rapid-growing 
tree. Forming a very dense head, with 
smaller, darker leaves than the American 
Elm. Leaves stay on the tree much longer 
in the autumn. The branches project from 
the trunk almost at right angles. In 
some localities this Elm grows better than 
our native. In my nursery they grow fast 
and seem to stand the cold and dry weather 
well. Really a beautiful shade tree for 
lawn and street planting.

LINDEN or BASSWOOD. A very pretty 
pyramidal tree with large leaves and 
fragrant flowers. A valuable tree for 
street or lawn planting, developing into 
beautiful specimens. Extensively planted 
for ornamental purposes and for bee cul¬ 
ture. Rapid growth, not particular as to 
soil, and perfectly hardy. 5 to 6 feet, each, 
$1.00; 10 for $9.00. 
BLACK WALNUT. A native of Ne¬ 
braska. Of large size and majestic form, 
with beautiful foliage. Grows best on low 
ground, bears very freely. The most valu¬ 
able of all trees for timber, which enters 
largely into the manufacture of furniture 
and cabinet work and brings the very 
highest price in the market. Tree is a 
fairly rapid grower, and also makes a fine 
shade tree. The large, oily nuts are of fine 
flavor and marketable at a fair price. 
Black walnuts are getting very scarce. 
Our government has bought up thousands 
of walnut logs, using them for gun stocks 
and in the manufacture of aeroplanes. The 
price of walnut logs is very high now.

HACKBERRY (Celtis Occidentalis). 
American Nettle Tree. A native tree with 
slender branches spreading horizontally, 
apple-like foliage, bright shiny-green. Ow¬ 
ing to the fact that it is extremely hardy, 
deep-rooted and very drought resisting it is 
a most desirable tree for general street and 
park planting. This tree is clean, I have 
never seen it attacked by an insect or a dis¬ 
ease. In every respect an excellent tree.
