On*tam&*itai TREES 
We carry only a limited line of Ornamental Trees, but what we do carry 
are the very best in the grade quoted. If you wish nice trees to plant on 
your lawn or in front of your lot in the boulevard, send to us for them and 
we know our stock will please you. 
MAPLE, Schwedler 
This is the beautiful red maple. The 
trees have the same beauty of growth that 
our native Hard Maple has. But in the 
spring from the time growth starts and for 
about six weeks the tree is absolutely red. 
One of our hardiest and most beautiful 
trees. To grow a good Schwedler Maple the 
limbs should be allowed to grow close to 
the ground. Have low limbs on the south 
side if possible to shade the trunk and save 
the tree from sun-scald. Nice 6 to 8 ft., each, 
$2.25; $4.00 pair. Select trees, $3.00 each; 
$5.00 pair. 8 to 10 ft., $3.50 each; $6.00 
pair. 
POPLAR, Bolleana 
(Silver Leaved) 
Very similar in growing habit to the pop¬ 
ular Lombardy and used in similar planting 
situations. A very desirable, tall-growing, 
spire-like tree with beautiful dark maple-like 
leaves which are lined underneath with sil¬ 
ver. Often used to fill out as corner back¬ 
ground and to blot-out high blank walls of 
neighboring buildings. Can be planted 
within 3 feet of a tall building and it will 
grow right up the side of it. 4 to 5 ft., 
80c each; $1.50 per pair. 5 to 6 ft., $1.25 
each; $2.25 per pair. 6 to 8 ft., $2.00 each; 
$3.75 per pair. 8 to 10 ft., $3.00 each; 
$5.00 per pair. 
WEEPING WILLOW 
(Golden Niobe) 
The golden weeping willow, the most 
beautiful in that species. Very appropriate 
to use in cemetery planting. Splendid as a 
lawn tree, for planting near pools or along 
the banks of streams. A graceful weeping 
tree with deep rich golden bark on trunk 
and along the long slender weeping 
branches. Hardiest of all the weeping wil¬ 
lows. Very beautiful in the winter time 
because of its rich yellow bark, which 
makes it very conspicuous. Absolutely 
hardy here in Minnesota. 5 to 6 ft., $1.25 
each; $2.25 per pair. 6 to 8 ft., $1.50 each; 
$2.75 per pair. 8 to 10 ft., $2.00 each; 
$3.50 per pair. 
POPLAR, Lombardy 
(Green Leaved) 
Very similar in growing habit and ap¬ 
pearance to the Bolleana Poplar described 
at left except that the Lombardy is a green¬ 
leaved tree where the Bolleana is silver 
leaved. Both trees are used for similar pur¬ 
poses where a tall, upright growing very 
narrow tree is required. 5 to 6 ft., 75c; 
$1.25 per pair. 6 to 8 ft., $1.25 each; $2.00 
per pair; $8.50 per 10.

Small EVERGREENS 
We have a nice lot of little evergreens in 
the beds in the fields. They are just right to 
lift this coming spring. These small evergreens 
are sold very cheaply compared with the large 
trees. Many people buy them, plant them out 
in their back yards, grow them on for several 
years, replant what they need and sell the rest. 
In this way evergreens which run high cost 
comparatively little. All postpaid. 
COLORADO BLUE SPRUCE 
4 to 6 in., 50 for $2.75; 100 for $4.25 
6 to 8 in., 50 for $3.25; 100 for $5.25 
These Colorado Blues will generally run 50 
per cent real blue shiners. 
AUSTRIAN PINE 
4 to 6 in., 50 for $2.25; 100 for $4.00 
PONDEROSA PINE 
4 to 6 in., 50 for $2.25; 100 for $4.00 
Both these Pines have very long needles 
and make very striking trees when grown. 
They are both fast growers. 
Hill's Silver Moon Junipers 
This is the finest of all the Silver Junipers that we have tried out 
here in Minnesota. When kept sheared it is a most compact growing 
tree, extremely drought resistant, and a beautiful rich silver in color. 
Prices: 2Vi to 3 ft., $5.00 each if taken from the nursery;
