Hardy Native Trees • Deciduous 
JOSIAH HOOPES takes strong grounds in favor of Native American Trees, 
for they are less liable to disease in our climate, longer lived, and more 
beautiful and useful as a class than their foreign relatives. 
The sizes following the names indicate the variation in heights 
attained by the trees in their wild state. Under cultivation they usually 
reach the lesser height given. 
For extensive plantings we make special prices for large quantities.
