NEGUNDO aceroides. See Acer Negundo. 
OSTRYA virginiana. Ironwood. 15-30 ft. Hard-wooded tree of small size; very attrac¬ 
tive elm-like foliage and large fruit-clusters resembling hops. Leaves clear yellow in 
fall. 1-2 ft., 20c. ea., $1.50 for 10; 2-3 ft., 35c. ea., £3 for 10. 
OXYDENDRUM arboreum. Tree Andromeda. 25-50 ft. One of our finest native 
trees, producing white fragrant flowers, borne on slender petioles in long panicled 
racemes and very graceful foliage that colors brilliantly in early autumn through 
shades of crimson. 1-2 ft., 20c. ea., $1.50 for 10; 2-3 ft., 30c. ea., £2.50 for 10; 
3-4 ft., 60c. ea., $5 for 10. 
POPULUS tremuloides. Quaking Aspen. 50-80 ft. The early drooping catkins of this 
really short-lived but quick-growing tree are conspicuous, but its greatest charm is in 
its tremulous leaves that are continually restless. 2-4 ft., 20c. ea., $1.50 for 10. 
deltoides. Carolina Poplar. 80-150 ft. The variety so much planted in the east and 
west for producing quick effect, and in cities it stands the smoke and soot well. The 
leaves of all Poplars cling till late in the season, turning bright yellow. 2-3 ft., 20c. 
ea., $1.50 for 10; 3-5 ft., 30c. ea., £2 for 10. 
PRUNUS pennsylvanica. Wild Red Cherry. 25-60 ft. Rapid-growing, short-lived 
tree with clean reddish bark. Fine for temporary plantings and quick effect. The 
light green foliage comes in early spring, and when half out the pure white flowers 
unfold in a perfect shower. Yellow in fall. 1-2 ft., 15c. ea.,£i for 10; 2-3 ft., 25c. 
ea., £2 for 10.

in May or June, the hop-like fruit which follows hanging till midwinter. 2-3 ft., 
20c. ea., £1.50 for 10. 
PYRUS coronaria. See Malus coronaria. 
QUERCUS alba. White Oak. 70-150 ft. The Oaks arc all in demand for use as lawn 
and street trees, being the most majestic of deciduous forest trees, and, almost without 
exception, very long-lived. None are of very rapid growth, though in good soil they 
keep pace with most other trees. Oaks hold their leaves late usually and the autumn 
hues are very brilliant and lasting. The White Oak is one of the best and is too well 
known to need much description. Bark gray-white. 1 ft., 15c. ea., £1 for 10. 
coccinea. Scarlet Oak. 75-160 ft. Of noble proportions and the finest perhaps of all, 
particularly in the fall, the finely cut foliage turning brilliant scarlet. 1-2 ft., 20c. ea., 
£1.50 for 10. 
catesbtei. Turkey Oak. 15-50 ft. Not so well known, but usually makes a pleasing 
large shrub. 6 in., 20c. ea., £1.50 for 10.
