CiIJ^NWOOD ISUR^fCRTV 
MOUNTAIN ASH, SHOWING 
CLUSTERS OF SCARLET BERRIES 
M. a. pendula (Teas 
We e p i n g Mulberry) 
One of the finest, most 
graceful and satisfactory 
weeping trees, form¬ 
ing an umbrella-shaped 
head, with slender, wil¬ 
lowy branches drooping 
to the ground. It has 
beautiful, glossy foliage, 
handsomely cut or di¬ 
vided into lobes. It is 
perfectly hardy. $1.50 
each. 
NYASSA multiflora (Tu¬ 
pelo, or Sour Gum). Of 
medium size and a mod¬ 
erate grower; leaves 
small, shiny, green, turn¬ 
ing to bright crimson in autumn. $1 
each. 
OXYDENDRUM arboreum (Sorrel Tree; 
Syn., Andromeda arborea). A beau¬ 
tiful, medium-sized flowering tree, with small 
white flowers, borne in great profusion. Its 
foliage assumes the brightest shades of scarlet 
and crimson in autumn. 4-5 ft., $2.50 each. 
PLATANUS orientalis (Oriental Plane , Eastern 
Buttonwood). This tree is fast becoming popu¬ 
lar for street planting. Few trees thrive as 
docs this variety under adverse conditions and 
where the air is filled continually with coal 
smoke. Free from insects and almost as rapid 
a grower as the Carolina Poplar, but, unlike 
the Poplar, has a clean habit of growth with 
beautiful dense foliage, is longer lived and holds 
its leaves late in autumn. 6-8 ft., $1.25 each; 
$12 per doz. 
POPULUS: 
THE POPLARS OR ASPENS 
Easiest of all the trees to grow and the cheapest. 
Much used for temporary effect. Their rapid 
growth gives shade long before most trees get 
fairly started. The Lombardy is the most striking. 
All of them will thrive under the most unfavorable 
conditions. 
(See Sorbus, Page 30 ) 
MAGNOLIAS (Continued) 
of a lighter color than those of Soulangeana, 
and produced in wonderful profusion. This is 
one of the best varieties. $2 each. 
Magnolia acuminata (Cucumber Tree). A beau¬ 
tiful pyramidal-growing native species, growing 
to the height of 60 or 70 feet, with large glossy 
leaves; flowers yellow, tinted white bluish pur¬ 
ple. $1 each. 
M. tripetala (Umbrella Tree). Of medium size 
with immense leaves, and white flowers nearly 
6 inches across. Flowers in June. Entirely 
hardy and vigorous. $1.50 each. 
MORUS alba tartarica (Russian Mulberry'. A 
hardy rapid-growing treer foliage abundant. 
Fruit of no value, but birds love it. 50 cts. each. 
M. downingii (Downing Everbearing Mulberry). 
The beauty of this as a lawn or street tree is 
quite enough to commend it; but in addition it 
yields an abundant supply of its large refreshing 
berries for about three months. 50 cts. each. 
POPULUS alba (Silver-leaf Poplar). A tree of 
rapid growth and spreading habit; leaves large 
lobed, dark, rich green above, and white as snow 
beneath; succeeds anywhere. 6-8 ft., 75 cts. each. 
P. a. bolleana. An upright, compact grower, 
similar to Lombardy; leaves glossy green above 
and silvery beneath. Best of the poplars. 8-10 
ft., $1 each. 
P. balsamifera (Balsam Poplar , Balm of Gilead). 
In habit more spreading than Carolina. Both of 
these varieties are valuable where shade is 
wanted as soon as possible, as they are of most 
rapid growth. 8-10 ft., $1.50 each. 
P. nigra italica (Lombardy Poplar). Well-known 
for its erect, rapid growth and commanding 
form. Very desirable in large grounds and 
along roads to break the average height and 
forms of other trees. 8-10 ft., 50 cts. each; 
$5 per doz.; $30 per 100. 
P. deltoides carolinensis (Carolina Poplar). A 
very rapid grower, of erect habit, for this reason 
planted extensively. 8-10 ft., 50 cts. each; $4 
per doz.; $25 per 100.
