Trees are the framework of a landscape design; 
shrubbery “ties” the house to the grounds, defines 
boundaries and forms backgrounds. Your invest¬ 
ment in these is a “long-term” one, possibly only 
one in a lifetime, a thoughtful selection of varieties 
will give you ever-increasing satisfaction. Let me 
help you plan your plantings for an interesting 
year-’round landscape. There is no charge for this 
service. Descriptions in this list are necessarily con¬ 
densed but I am only too glad to help in any possi¬ 
ble way to make your garden a better garden. 
Let’s talk it over—before the Spring rush begins. 
SHADE AND ORNAMENTAL 
TREES 
Numerals following the name is approximate 
height at maturity in feet. 
MOUNTAIN-ASH. 25-40. Upright tree of symmet¬ 
rical habit with rich green fern-like foliage. Many 
large clusters brilliant orange-red berries in late 
summer and autumn eagerly sought by birds. 6-8 
ft., ea., $2.10; 8-10 ft., ea., $2.90. 
SCHWEDLER’S RED-LEAF MAPLE. 50-60. Glori¬ 
ous deep crimson early summer color gradually 
changes to a beautiful very dark green as the sea¬ 
son advances. Round, spreading form. 6 ft., ea., 
$2.50. 
CUT-LEAF WEEPING BIRCH. 3 0-40. Graceful and 
attractive pendulous branches, leaves deeply and 
irregularly cut, creamy white bark. 8 ft., ea., $3.00. 
FLOWERING CRAB. 12-15. Bechtel’s bears many 
rose-like double pink flowers in May. 2-3 ft., ea., 
$1.00. 5 ft., ea., $2.0 0. Scheideckeri has semi- 
double flowers, bright carmine-red in bud fading to 
blush white as they open in May. 5 ft., ea., $1.80. 
HONEYLOCUST. 70-8 0. The one best shade 
and parking tree for this part of the country. 
Absolutely hardy, no insects infest it, no 
snows ever break it down. Broadly rounded 
form. General summer effect of its handsome 
fern-like foliage is one of delicacy; while its 
irregularly branching habit gives it a rugged, 
picturesque appearance through the winter. 
Moderately rapid grower sending strong roots 
down deep but few in the topsoil. Easier to 
grow a good lawn beneath its branches than 
under other trees. My special thornless strain: 
6-8 ft., ea., $1.50. 8-10 ft., ea., $2.20. 
Thorny type: 6-8 ft., ea., 9 0c. 8-10 ft., ea., 
£1.20. Honeylocust stands considerable drouth 
and is widely used on the drylands for shade 
and windbreaks. See page 7 for special quan¬ 
tity prices for windbreaks.
