Sali.x babylonica 
Prunus 
P. subhirtella pendula. 12'-15'. Weeping Japan Cherry. 
Is it possible to adequately describe those gossamer 
185 pink fountains that come from fairyland each Spring? 
And yet, they are sturdy trees that need little atten¬ 
tion beyond a well-drained place in the sun. These 
are the popular tall-stemmed kind. 
P. triloba plena. 7'-8'. Doubleflowering Plum. Larger 
and still more gorgeous than cousin “Almond.” 
186 The bright pink double flowers thickly stud each 
branch and twig. 
OAK 
QUERCUS palustris. 70'-80'. Pin Oak. Trim, 
187 pyramidal head, good for avenue planting or as 
specimen; good Fall coloring. 
LINDEN 
TILIA americana. S0'-90'. American Linden. In a 
fairly moist location this native Basswood will, once 
192 started, quickly develop into a large limbed, round- 
topped tree, handsome in its dress of great, heart- 
shaped leaves, conspicuous in June when the fragrant 
flowers attract bees. 
T. vulgaris. 70'-80'. European Linden. Generally 
conceded the best form for street planting as the dark 
193 green leaves remain good until late Autumn. The 
compact, low branched head is particularly fitted to 
lawn purposes where the branches make a natural 
canopy. Fragrant in June. 
Sorbus ( Mountain-ash ) 
Designing and Building of Beautiful Roc 
0- rubra. 70'-80'. Red Oak. Wide spreading habit, 
188 needs plenty of room; large leaves turn red in Fall. 
WILLOW 
SALIX babylonica. 30'-40'. Babylon Weeping Willow. 
Long, stringy branches droop vertically to the ground, 
189 and with the narrow, light green leaves create a soft, 
velvety texture. Grows rapidly especially when close 
to water. 
MOUNTAIN-ASH 
SORBUS aucuparia. 25'-30'. European Mountain-ash. 
Ideal lor the small lawn, the Rowan tree is extremely 
190 popular in Europe, where the great clusters of orange 
red fruits figure in song and story, but here they serve 
the more practical purpose of food for robins. Good 
drainage is a necessity. 
S. aucuparia pendula. 6'-8'. Weeping Mountain-asb. 
191 Orange fruit with slender, pendulous branches. 
Gardens LEWIS & VALENTINE 
ELM 
ULMUS americana. 100'. American Elm. Almost 
wherever you go the lofty arching branches silently 
194 pronounce a benediction on the traveler. No tree it 
would seem can be more majestic than our dear old 
American Elm, a tower of strength, grace and beauty. 
It s a Real Joy 
to Develop
