growing variety, with handsome, light green foliage

planting and succeeds in many sections where other 
varieties do not thrive. 8 to 10 ft., $1.00 each.

remarkable and beautiful trees, with cut or dis¬ 
sected foliage. Its growth is rapid, shoots slender 
and drooping, as graceful as cut-leaved birch.

ers among shade trees, frequently growing eight 
feet during one season and thus making fine shade 
in two or three years. It has an advantage over 
other shade trees because it will grow in any kind 
of soil. 8 to 10 ft., 75c each. 
Poplar, Lombardy. A well-known variety from 
its tall spire-like form. Where it is desired to mark

are attractive and desirable. 8 to 10 ft., $1.00 each.

weeping variety; forms a large round-headed, grace¬ 
ful tree; requires plenty of room, and where space 
can be spared, is quite desirable. 8 to 10 ft., $1.25 
each. 
Willow, Golden. This willow is especially desir¬ 
able on account of its golden colored bark with 
light green leaves. A splendid grower. 6 to 8 ft., 
$1.00 each. 
Gentlemen; Bad Axe, Mich., March 24, 1936 
Always wanted to write you that the trees arrived in 
good shape and that each one grew just fine. Those trees 
were about the best I ever saiv and at so low a price that 
it is hardly believable what I paid for them. Kindly send 
me your price list as I would like to buy more trees this 
spring. Yours truly, REV. ELMER C. STEIG. 
SILYERLEAF MAPLE 
FRESHLY DUG TREES GIVE THE BEST RESULTS.
