SALZER’S SHADE TREES 
Not only may much comfort as well as beauty be derived from shade 
trees but they help to retain the moisture in the ground. They per¬ 
form a real service for man. When planting trees, use fine compost 
or top soil for filling in around the roots, plant deeply and firm well. 
Cut away any broken or bruised branches or roots. Never use manure 
unless it is thoroughly rotted. It is also important that there be proper 
drainage. Water should never stand in the hole where the tree is to 
be planted. 
We offer the following trees in five to six foot and six to eight foot 
size, for shipment by express not prepaid. Salzer’s trees are hardy and 
grow everywhere, but in those exceptional instances where a tree should 
not grow, we will replace such trees at half price. 
CUT LEAF WEEPING BIRCH—Its tall, slender, but vigorous growth, 
graceful drooping habit, silvery white bark, and its deeply, yet delicately 
cut foliage make it one of the most distinctive trees grown. Each, 6 to 
8 feet, $1.95; 3 for $5.50; 6 for $10.25, 
not prepaid. 
CATALPA BUNGEI or UMBRELLA 
CATALPA—A very striking tree for 
the lawn. The low spreading head is 
four to six feet from the ground, flat 
and rather roof-shaped, leaves large 
and dense, and deep green in color. 
One or two of these Catalpa Bungei, 
planted as specimens in front of the 
home, give that formal touch that can 
be attained in no other way. Requires 
no trimming unless it is desired to keep 
the head to a certain size. Each, 5 foot 
trunk and 1 year head. $1.45; 3 for $4.15; 
6 for $7.95, not prepaid. 
RUSSIAN MULBERRY —Low growing 
trees 12 to 15 feet high, ornamental and 
fruit bearing, not well suited for the 
boulevard but ideal for the yard. Thrives 
everywhere. The fruits are 
small, reddish-blackish, resem¬ 
bling blackberries, edible, be¬ 
ing soft and sweet, and are 
eagerly eaten by birds. If you 
love birds, find a place in your 
yard for a Russian Mulberry. 
It is very hardy and has a 
very bushy, symmetrical, orna¬ 
mental top. Each, 6 to 8 feet, 
65c; 3 for $1.80; 6 for $3.50, not 
prepaid. 
WISCONSIN WEEPING 
WILLOW-The best of all 
Weeping Willows and famous 
for its ability to resist severe 
cold. Its fresh, bright green 
tint, long wavy branches and 
immense broad top make it a 
fine specimen for the lawn. 40 
feet. The branches are long, 
slender and pendulous. Does 
not assume its “weeping” form 
until it reaches a sufficient 
height, usually requiring 114 
to 2 years. Each, 6 to 8 feet, 
$1.25; 3 for $3.50; 6 for $6.00, 
not prepaid. 
Euro pc an Mountain Ash 
Norway Maple 
Catalpa Bungei 
Lombardy Poplar 
EUROPEAN MOUNTAIN ASH—One 
of the finest ornamental trees grown. It is 
of erect growth, 20 to 30 feet high, with 
smooth bark and beautiful dark green 
foliage, and is fairly covered with large 
clusters of bright orange berries in Au¬ 
tumn. A vigorous grower. Each, 6 to 8 feet, 
$1.45; 3 for $4.15; 6 for $8.00, not prepaid. 
CHINESE ELM —A fine Elm of recent 
development, exceptionally hard y and

NORWAY MAPLE—A large, 
handsome tree, with broad, deep 
green, shining foliage. Very 
hardy; its growth is compara¬ 
tively slow. This is the variety 
of Hard Maple that thrives so 
well along city streets where oth¬ 
ers are often killed out by smoke, 
drought, etc. Foliage has Fall 
colorings of scarlet and yellow. 
Each, 8 to 10 feet, $1.95; 3 for 
$5.60; 6 for $10.50, not prepaid.

bright red foliage in the spring. 
Reaches a height of 40 to 50 feet, 
symmetrical and well formed. In 
midsummer the handsome leaves 
are purplish green and in autumn, 
golden yellow. The finest of all 
Maples. Each, 6 to 8 feet, $2.50; 
3 for $7.15; 6 for $13.85, not pre¬ 
paid. 
Wisconsin Weeping Willow 
NIOBE WEEPING WILLOW—Slender leaves, 
green above, silvery beneath; twigs and bark a 
strong golden yellow; when young, slightly tinged 
dark red. Of Russian origin, it is the hardiest 
golden-barked Willow, sturdily upholding its long, 
lacy streamers, which decidedly “weep.” Weeps 
while still a young tree. Each, 6 to 8 feet, $1.25; 
3 for $3.50; 6 for $6.50, not prepaid. 
LOMBARDY POPLAR—The selective apprecia¬ 
tion of trained landscape builders is getting this 
fine type into wide use. Old trees which were 
thoughtfully placed are outstanding landmarks to¬ 
day, their great height, dense slenderness, and 
sombre silhouette against the skyline creating an 
impressive, picturesque effect. Especially suitable 
for accentuated rear planting. Each, 6 to 8 feet, 
75c; 3 for $2.10; 6 for $3.95, not prepaid. 8 to 
10 feet, each, $1.00; 3 for $2.65; 6 for $5.00, not
