GOLDENRAIN-TREE 
(Koelreuteria) 
Also known as Varnish-tree. Beautiful 
medium-sized lawn tree. Handsome, 
light green compound leaves turning to 
a rich golden brown; golden yellow 
flowers in clusters followed by large, 
balloonlike ornamental seed pods which 
remain on until late Fall. 25 ft. 
JAPANESE FLOWERING 
CHERRY 
A gift of a few hundred trees made by 
Japan to the District of Columbia has 
possibly given Japan more publicity and 
done more to establish goodwill than any 
other ambassador ever sent this country. 
These trees are living monuments and 
become more popular and more talked 
of each year. 
Up until recent years the excessive cost 
of Japanese Cherries has prevented their 
extensive use, but now the price has been 
reduced to within reach of every one. 
Even the Weeping varieties may be had 
for less than half what they once cost. 
We offer the following two most popular 
standard varieties: 
Fugenzo (Kofugen) (James H. Veitch). 
30 ft. Double pink. One of the latest to 
bloom; the unusually large, double pink 
flowers expand with the coppery young 
foliage, a nice contrast. Probably one 
of the most popular and reliable sorts. 
Kwanzan. 30 ft. Double pink. Large, 
very double deep pink flowers, almost 
red in bud, and bronze young growth 
coupled with its rapid growth justify 
the highest rating to this good form. 
Well formed, vigorous. 
Double Weeping Cherry. Deep pink, 
double blossoms, very much like Kwan¬ 
zan but trees are weeping in form in¬ 
stead of being upright like Kwanzan. 
Weeping Willow Tree 
LARCH (Larix) 
Larix europaea (European Larch). 
Low branching, deciduous, evergreen¬ 
like tree; branches slender, tips pendu¬ 
lous. Very attractive in early Spring, 
when the bright green, needlelike foli¬ 
age is studded with purplish pistillate 
flowers; rapid growing. 
LINDEN (Tilia) 
American Linden (Tilia americana). 
One of our most attractive and fast 
growing shade trees for lawn, park or 
avenue planting. Of fine, straight 
growth and symmetrical outline. State¬ 
ly tree with round, dense head. Large, 
smooth, glossy, rich green leaves with 
yellow twigs; fragrant, yellow flowers. 
MAIDENHAIR-TREE 
(Ginkgo Tree) 
Ginkgo biloba. Picturesque, pyramidal, 
tree with clean, straight trunk, and fan¬ 
shaped, Maidenhair Fernlike leaves; 
immune from insects. 
MAPLE (Acer) 
Ashleaved Maple (Box Elder) (Acer 
negundo). A rapid growing variety 
with handsome light green foliage and 
spreading head, very hardy. Succeeds 
in many sections where other varieties 
do not thrive. 
Norway Maple (Acer platanoides). 
It is true that the Norway Maple 
is not as rapid a grower as the Pop¬ 
lars, or even the Silver Maple, but 
it continues to be one of our most 
popular shade trees. For a few years 
we were living too fast for this favorite 
tree and were planting more vigorous 
growing varieties. We could not grow 
enough Silver Maple and Chinese Elm, 
but again we are having more calls 
than ever for the Norway Maple. 
Scarlet Maple (Acer rubrum). A well 
loved native so nbticeable in Spring, 
when the fiery red blossoms cover the 
branches, and again in Autumn, when 
the vivid scarlet dress is a high spot. 
Ordinarily found in low places but suc¬ 
ceeds well in high land, too. 
Schwedler’s Maple (Acer platanoides 
schwedleri). Leaves bright reddish 
purple in Spring toning into a deep, 
purplish green later in the season. A 
splendid lawn variety, has all the good 
qualities of the Norway and in addition 
the beautiful red foliage in early Spring 
and late Fall. 
Silver Maple (Acer dasycarpum). The 
most rapid grower and most generally 
planted of the Maples. Suitable for 
parks, lawns, street and high plantings. 
Adapted to most all kinds of soil. 
Sugar Maple (Acer saccharum). This 
is a universal favorite for lawn and 
street planting. It makes a very beau¬ 
tiful and compact growth, hence a good 
shade. 
MIMOSA 
Mimosa (Albizzia). A rapid grower, 
spreading branches, low, flat-topped 
head, feathery leafage, pink flowers in 
large heads borne at branch tips. Be¬ 
gins blooming the middle of May and 
continues for several weeks. Truly a 
Southern tree; not hardy north of 
Washington, D. C. 
OAK (Quercus) 
Oak, Chestnut (Quercus montana). 
The Oaks are especially useful in parks 
where assortments of large trees are 
used in groups. Not as popular as the 
Pin Oak for street planting due to being 
a straggly grower but is desirable for 
scattering about through the campus 
and in groups with other Oaks. 
Pin Oak (Quercus palustris). Although 
Oaks have long been considered hand¬ 
some, symmetrical trees, many peo¬ 
ple have fought shy of them because 
of their seemingly slow development. 
In reality, the Oaks grow almost as 
rapidly as other deciduous trees, and 
the Pin Oak in particular makes a very 
rapid growth. 
Oak, Red (Quercus rubra). Long-lived. 
Rather slow grower, being used chiefly 
in parks and on large estates. Desirable 
on account of Fall coloring of foliage. 
Oak, White (Quercus alba). Most valu¬ 
able for its timber. Also valuable 
as a shade and ornamental tree when 
given space and time for develop¬ 
ing. Grows to a tremendous size and 
lives to be several hundred years old. 
Plant Oaks for permanent trees.

Norway Maple 
PLANETREE (Platanus) 
Plane, American (Sycamore) (Pla¬ 
tanus occidentalis). Is useful as a 
shade tree because of its hardiness, 
growing in almost any kind of soil and 
under most unfavorable conditions. 
Easily transplanted and a rapid grower. 
Oriental Planetree (Platanus orien- 
talis). A large, massive tree with very 
wide, round topped head. Native of 
Europe and India. Bark whitened, ex¬ 
foliating, lending a picturesque aspect, 
especially in Winter. 
POPLAR (Populus) 
Lombardy Poplar (Populus nigra). 
Tall, slim, formal—the most striking 
tree on the landscape. It makes a per¬ 
fect background tree, and its symmetri¬ 
cal, columnar shape brings out the 
rounded beauty of other trees and 
shrubs. One of the most popular for 
screens; use them singly to accent shrub¬ 
bery groups or in connection with 
architectural features. See page 30. 
Simon Poplar (Populus simoni). A 
very rapid growing tree but does not 
attain very large size. The attractive 
foliage is large and dark green. Tree 
pyramidal in shape. Longer-lived than 
Lombardy. 
SWEETGUM (Liquidambar) 
Liquidambar styraciflua. Symmetrical 
tree with conical crown, leaves Maple¬ 
like and glossy, fragrant when bruised, 
changing to brilliant crimson in Fall. 
TULIP POPLAR 
(Liriodendron) 
Tulip Poplar (Liriodendron tulipi- 
fera). A large and stately rapid grow¬ 
ing tree with a narrow pyramidal crown. 
Flowers are cup-shaped, resembling a 
Tulip, greenish yellow blotched with 
orange. 
WILLOW (Salix) 
Weeping Willow (Salix babylonica). 
Most familiar and beautiful of all Wil¬ 
lows, and one of the finest of the droop¬ 
ing trees. 
I got from you 2 Chinese Elms about two 
years ago and they have proven very satisfac¬ 
tory. They are fairly large trees now and are of 
a very pretty shape as well as fast growers.
