CERCIS canadensis (Redbud). Spring’s early har¬ 
binger, blooming in April, and literally covered with red 
or pink blooms before the leaves appear. It is a small, 
shapely tree, with large, deep green leaves. May be used 
in heavy mass-planting of shrubs, with white-flowering dog¬ 
wood or against evergreens or white birch, to furnish con- 
trast. Eac h p e r 10

CORNUS florida (White Flowering Dogwood). A 
native tree well known to everyone. It is beautiful all 
the year, and there is hardly a woody plant quite as useful 
as our native Dogwood. Its blossoms are conspicuous, com¬ 
ing early in the spring. The foliage is attractive all sum¬ 
mer, and in the fall colors beautifully, with red berries that 
hang on most of the winter. It can be used as a specimen, or 
in groups as a background for shrub borders.

CORNUS florida rubra (Pink Flowering Dogwood). 
This is not a new or uncommon tree but one too often 
overlooked as a means for beautifying home grounds. 
The common white variety may be better known but this 
pink-flowering type affords the loveliest display. Our trees 
are shipped balled and burlapped to insure safe and sure 
growth. Once started, they need but simple care.

CHINESE ELM (Ulmus pumila). A new, rapid-growing 
tree that does especially well in difficult situations, like city 
soot and gases, dry and poor ground, narrow street plots, 
etc. Leaves smaller than our native Elm, habit more pen¬ 
dent and, of course, much more rapid. Only drawback pos¬ 
sible is sleet-damage and Elm-beetle injury. Plant for 
twenty to thirty years’ duration. Each Per 10 
5- 6 feet .$0.75 $6.00 
6 - 8 feet. 1.00 8.00 
HACKBERRY (Celtis occidentalis). Its light green 
leaves are glossy, pointed; the branches spread horizontally, 
forming a wide, elm-shaped head of medium size. Vigorous, 
hardy and healthy, thriving in all soils. Each Per 10 
5-6 feet.$0.75 $6.00 
HAWTHORN (Crus-Galli) . Cockspur Thorn. 12 to 15 
feet. Thorn is covered with a mass of white blooms in 
spring, and in fall with clustered red fruits amid orange- 
scarlet foliage. Sharp thorns and glossy leaves give all- 
season interest. Each Per 10 
3- 4 feet.$0.50 $4.00 
4- 5 feet.75 6.00 
SOURWOOD (Oxydendrnm arboreum). 10 to 12 feet. 
The white flowers resemble those of the Lily-of-the-Valley, 
but are borne in panicles in July and August. Its foliage 
is particularly brilliant in fall. Each Per 10 
2- 3 feet.$0.50 $4.00 
3- 4 feet.75 6.00 
SWEET GUM (Liquidambar styraciflua). Another native 
tree not appreciated. It is not of rapid growth nor espe¬ 
cially easy to transplant, but the glossy foliage in summer, 
the brilliant color in the fall, and the unusual appearance 
of the young branches with corky bark in the winter are 
considerations that make it especially valuable.

5- 6 feet.$0.75 $6.00 
6 - 8 feet. 1.00 7.50 
TULIP TREE (Liriodendron tulipifera). Tulip Poplar. 
Belongs to the Magnolia family, and is one of the finest 
native trees, growing to be very large, and bearing tulip¬ 
shaped, yellowish blossoms. Its leaves are large and a very 
dark green. Grows quickly after it becomes established.
