Beautify Your Home Grounds 
Trees for Shade and 
Ornamental Purposes 
W HAT is more pleasing than a proper 
planting of Shrubbery, Evergreens and 
Shade Trees around a home. They beautify 
and make it more attractive. Have you not 
noticed the shrubbery and evergreens around 
the homes of a number of your friends, how 
they add to the appearance, and how you 
were attracted to them? An investment of a 
few dollars will bring about the desired results. 
Deciduous Trees 
American Elm. A natural spreading and droop¬ 
ing tree of our own American meadows and forests. 
It is very attractive in any suitable location, is 
entirely hardy and easily transplanted. There are 
more Elm trees planted along our streets and high¬ 
ways than any other variety. 8 to 10 ft., $1.00 
each. 
Ash, Mountain. A very beautiful tree for orna¬ 
mental planting. In the early fall it bears clusters of 
bright red berries. 6 to 8 ft., $1.50 each. 
Bechtel’s Crah. When in bloom appears to be 
covered with delicate pink, perfectly double small 
roses of delicious fragrance. 3 to 4 ft., 75c each. 
Catalpa Bungei (Umbrella Catalpa). Grafted 
on stems 5 to 6 feet high, it makes an umbrella 
shaped top without pruning. Perfectly hardy, and 
flourishes in almost all soils and climates. Leaves 
large, glossy, heart-shaped. A very desirable orna¬ 
mental. 5 to 6 feet, $1.00 each. 
Catalpa Speciosa. One of the most rapid grow¬ 
ers. Large, heart-shaped, downy leaves, and com¬ 
pound panicles of white flowers. 8 to 10 ft., $1.00 
each. 
Cut-Leaved Weeping Birch. This noble tree is 
not only the most popular of the weeping trees, but 
it is decidedly the best. Its tall, slender, yet vigorous 
growth, graceful branches, silvery white bark and 
delicately cut foliage, present a combination of 
attractive characteristics rarely met with in a 
single tree. 6 to 8 ft., $2.00 each.
