PLANTING 
Trees! What would our country be without them? While the 
magnificent specimens we now enjoy were planted many years ago, 
Barnes Bros, thrifty young trees will give generous shade within a 
few years. Think how little care a tree requires—how much it re¬ 
turns in shade, shelter and beauty, not only throughout your own 
life but for generations beyond. Look about your home now. Have 
you made full use of the possibilities of a stately Sugar Maple, a 
graceful, drooping, Weeping Willow, or a rare, bright yellow flow¬ 
ering Golden Rain Tree? Here are a few choice varieties which we 
have selected for you. Choose with assurance that you’ll receive 
expertly grown, well-rooted and trained specimens. They all must 
be planted in early spring or late fall. But let’s not forget to plant 
trees! 
Weeping Willow 
Norway Maple (Acer platanoides)—40-60'. Rapidly growing, sym¬ 
metrical in form with a compact, rounded head. The dark green leaves 
give dense shade and turn a brilliant yellow in the fall. It is one of the 
most popular trees for shade and street planting. 6-8', $1.50; 3 for 
$3.75; 8-10', $2.00; 3 for $5.40. 
Sugar Maple (Acer saccharum)—80-100'. A stately native tree, oval 
in form and very dense. Its dark green leaves become a mass of vivid 
reds and yellows in the fall. One of the finest street and shade trees. 
10-12', $3.25; 3for $8.75. 
Pin Oak (Quercus palustris)—80'. This very handsome tree is par¬ 
ticularly adapted to lawn and street planting because of its symmetri¬ 
cal pyramidal habit, its rapid growth and fine foliage which turns 
bright red in the fall. Moist soil is desirable but not essential. 6-8', 
$2.00; 3 for $5.40. 8-10', $3.50; 3 for $9.45. 
Flowering Dogwood (Cornus florida)—Handsome all the year 
around is this hardy native tree, growing 20-25' high and sometimes 
shrubby. In spring before leaves appear, large flowers transform it into 
a cloud of white. In summer its splendid foliage is dense enough to give 
generous shade. In the fall there are bright scarlet berries, and leaves 
turn red to match. Dogwoods will give much pleasure and will add 
much beauty to your lawn. 4-5', $1.50 each. 
Weeping Willow (Salix babylonica)—40'. Long, pendulous branches 
droop to the ground with matchless grace. They create exquisite ef¬ 
fects beside water but will thrive equally well in drier locations. You 
have always wanted to have one of these beautiful trees in your gar¬ 
den. Now don’t miss this opportunity to purchase some of these 
strong, thrifty young trees—they were grown especially for you. 
5-6' high, $1.00 each; 3 for $2.70; 6-8' high, $1.50 each, 3 for 
$3.75. 
Common Linden (Tilia vulgaris)—Tall and rapidly growing to about 
100'. It has a regular, pyramidal habit, large dark green leaves and 
small, fragrant, yellow flowers. It is not fussy about soil and is one of 
the best street and shade trees. 6-8', $2.00; 3 for $5.40. 
Golden Rain Tree (Koelreuteria paniculata)—This lovely small 
tree, a native of China and Japan, well deserves its name for during 
the summer its clusters of small yellow flowers shower the tree like 
raindrops of gold. It grows about 30' tall, its leaves are light green and 
finely divided. It is not particular about soil; likes a sunny location; 
is hardy through Mass.; and doesn’t mind hot dry weather. This is 
one of the most beautiful and unusual lawn trees. Don’t miss this op¬ 
portunity to add one to yours. 5-6', $2.25 each. 
White Flowering Dogwood 
Cutleaf Weeping White Birch (Betula 
alba laciniata pendula)—40'. This 
white barked, graceful tree is one of the 
most beautiful that can be planted on a 
lawn. Leaves are light green and finely 
cut. The branches are slender and pen¬ 
dulous. 9-10', $3.00 each. 
Plane Tree (Platanus orientalis)—80'. 
Considered by many the most successful 
shade tree for street plantings, as it is 
suited to a variety of soils, grows rapidly, 
withstands the smoky atmosphere of 
cities, and is remarkably free from in¬ 
sect pests. Symmetrical, graceful in con¬ 
tour. 6-8', $1.50; 3 for $3.75.
