Henry Clay's Monument 
Magnolia 
Magnolia acuminata. Cucumber Tree. A well- 
known native of our mountains, conical in 
shape and with large, glaucous leaves, mak¬ 
ing it attractive. The flowers are fragrant, 
usually a dull white color, followed by elon¬ 
gated green seed-clusters which later turn 
coral. Very satisfactory. Each Five

M. grandiflora. Southern Magnolia. This is a 
purely Southern Magnolia and while it usual¬ 
ly reaches a medium height it does not do 
well on limestone soil. It seems to thrive 
best in moist, porous soils, and demands an 
abundance of fertility. Where it does suc¬ 
ceed, planters are well repaid, the white 
flowers being especially large, attractive, 
and very fragrant. They are followed by 
scarlet seeds. Each Five

M. glauca. Sweet Bay. See page 6 . 
Nyssa - Sour Gum 
Nyssa sylvatica. Tupelo Gum. One of the fin¬ 
est trees known for fall coloring. It has long, 
narrow, glossy leaves and is rather slow- 
growing. Very attractive at dll seasons. Not 
often offered nursery grown, and these are 
bargain prices.

OXYDENDRUM. See page 6 . 
Platanus - Sycamore 
Platanus occidenfalis. A native sometimes 
thought too common to plant. However, 
where a tree for quick effect is wanted, one 
clean in habit of growth, luxuriant of foli¬ 
age and easy to transplant, this lesson of 
Nature in distributing it so liberally should 
be accepted. The bark is silvery or grayish 
in winter; the leaves hold on well, and for 
avenue, street, lawn, and paddock shade the 
Sycamore can be used satisfactorily.

Populus - Poplar 
Populus nigra italica. Lombardy Poplar. A 
tall, slender tree of rapid growth, reaching 
great height, and not to be confused with 
Carolina Poplar. Specimens often reach 50 
feet, with a spread of less than 10 feet, and 
for this reason when trees are needed for 
narrow places, between buildings, congested 
lawns, narrow avenues, Lombardy Poplar 
may be used to advantage. Because of its 
great height and quick growth it is com¬ 
mendable for backgrounds of buildings, to 
add character to plantings or to offset 
straight or bare lines; for screening unsight¬ 
ly views, fire protection from close buildings, 
or windbreaks—and for all quick effects we 
unhesitatingly recommend this variety. A 
false impression prevails that it sheds its 
leaves early, but this is a misapprehension, 
as the tree is healthy in growth and foliage.

P. bolleana. Bolleana Poplar. Just because the 
Carolina Poplar is an enormous weed and 
nothing else, one should not discriminate 
against all of the Poplar family. Bolleana 
Poplar has glittering green leaves, silvered 
underneath, and makes an attractive display 
against the sky when they are set in motion 
by a gentle breeze. The bark is gray, giving 
a pleasing winter effect. It is a swift-grow¬ 
ing, slender, columnar tree, a little wider 
than Lombardy Poplar, which it resembles at 
a distance and for which it should be used 
as a substitute.

Pin Oak 
Prunus - Flowering Cherries 
Prunus subhirtella pendula. Weeping Japanese 
Flowering Cherry. As a lawn tree this can 
hardly be excelled. Its sweeping, pendulous 
branches are literally studded with pink 
bloom early in spring. An ornament in any 
lawn. Grafted trees, 5 to 6 ft., $3.50 each. 
P. serrulata. Japanese Flowering Cherry. 
Blooming in April, they are the earliest trees 
in blossom. No other flowering tree has the 
beauty of these wonders of the Orient. As 
the demand increases our variety list will 
grow, but the ones named here are the 
choicest. Like all Cherries, they are shallow- 
rooted and do not necessarily have to have 
rich ground in which to thrive. 
Noden. Large, double, blush-pink variety. 
Midseason. Tree of medium growth. 
Shirofugen. Very large, double, pinkish 
white flowers. 
Kwanzan. Deep pink, shading into old rose; 
late; very double. 
Prices for all varieties of Prunus: 
5 to 6 ft., $3.00 each; $13.50 for 5. B&B, 
50c extra. 
4 to 5 ft., $2.50 each; $11.25 for 5. B&B, 
50c extra. 
Quercus - Oak 
Quercus alba. White Oak. One of the grand¬ 
est of all the Oaks. Rather difficult to trans¬ 
plant and of slow growth, but "Patience 
brings a perfect reward." Leaves silver to 
purplish red in autumn. 
Q. macrocarpa. Burr or Mossy-Cup Oak. A na¬ 
tive variety of slow growth, but becomes a 
stately tree well covered with thick, dark 
green foliage of heavy texture. For perma¬ 
nency it has no superior. Prefers a moist or 
deep soil. 
Q. nigra. Water Oak. A round-topped tree of 
good form. Will grow in either moist or dry 
soil. Foliage green until late fall. 
Q. palustris. Pin Oak. Of all the Oaks this is 
preferred. Perfectly symmetrical from the 
base branches up. Foliage a shining green, 
deeply cut, and in fall of wondrous colors, 
a combination for beauty, symmetry and 
durability not found in any other tree. It is 
the easiest of the Oaks to transplant, more 
rapid of growth, and may be used in any 
capacity, whether shade, specimen, avenue, 
cemetery, or park tree. If one is a little 
patient the reward is commensurate. We are 
very partial to it, and when a hardwood tree 
is wanted for any location we unhesitatingly 
recommend the Pin Oak. If you knew it as 
we do you would be equally enthused. 
Q. rubra. Red Oak. Not as compact nor does 
it color as brilliantly as the Pin Oak. Some¬ 
what more difficult to transplant but will 
grow in almost any soil when once estab¬ 
lished. One of the fine Oaks.
