Bechtel's Double 
Flowering Crab 
I have the trees of 5 to 6 ft. size which 
will always stay at that height, the crown 
developing densely branched and sending 
slender, vine-like branches drooping down 
to touch the ground. This is an elegant 
tree with a dark green foliage. Mv trees 
have good two-year-old grafted heads. 
$2.20 each or $4.00 per pair. 
Cutleaf Weeping Birch 
slender growth with gracefully drooping 
branches. This, together with the white 
bark of the tree, puts the Cutleaf Weep¬ 
ing Birch in the finest class of ornamen¬ 
tal trees. 
Thornless Honey Locust f s hi | 
clean tree of the hardwood type, yet a 
rapid grower. Will never make root 
sprouts, in fact a lawn or flowers can be 
grown under this tree with extra good 
results. For street and lawn planting it 
is one of the best long-lived hardy trees 
you can plant. The tree came through 
the dry years as good as Chinese Elm 
and Hackberry, which were not damaged 
by heat or drought, but of the three the 
Thornless Honey Locust will be the long¬ 
est lived and require the least care in 
pruning in years to come. 
(Pyrus Coronaria) Large double fragrant 
flowers of delicate pink. Makes a won¬ 
derful dwarf tree, one of the finest for 
flowers, which can also be used in 
bouquets.

kins in early spring which are used for 
bouquets.

= PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS .. = 
These trees should be planted deeper than fruit trees. Depending on the size tree you plant the depth will vary. Up to 5 to 6 ft. 
trees plant them about 2 inches deeper than grown before; 6-8 ft. trees should be planted 3 inches deeper, and anything larger 
than 8 ft. plant 3 to 4 inches deeper than grown before in the nursery. Prune the limbs of the tree right after planting. The 
tree will start easier when this is done, and the wind will not rock the tree while it is making new roots. For the first growing 
season keep your young trees well watered during dry weather to keep them growing.
