W HEN hot summer sun beats down you long for the welcome 
shade of a Maple, an Oak, or a broad-spreading Elm. But to 
have and enjoy such shade and shelter, you must plan ahead. The 
trees must be planted in fall or spring when the weather is cool. 
Then the roots take hold, the tree flourishes, and in a surprisingly 
few seasons the outspreading branches give the protection you 
desire. 
We can supply—at very low prices—large trees that will give 
immediate effect, as well as smaller specimens from 6 to 1 5 feet 
high, which need a little more time to develop after moving to your 
place. Our trees are well grown, root-pruned, and transplanted 
several times; they are truly Hillenmeyer standard. 
Acer - Maple 
Acer dasycarpum. Silver cr Water Maple. Because of its quick growth and good 
foliage, this tree is in great demand. The leaves appear early in spring, are light 
green on the upper side, silvery beneath, and remain until late fall. Small flow¬ 
ers open before the leaves appear. For planting as temporary trees—-that is, 
alternating between the hard-wooded and slower growers, as oaks, elms, sugar 
maples, gums, etc.—the Silver Maple is highly recommended. Each Five

normal weather conditions, and is adaptable to nearly all types of soil. The 
tree yields valuable timber, as well as maple sugar. Foliage is deep green, turn¬ 
ing in fall to indescribable colors.

Cut-Leaf Weeping Birch

terminal branches slightly drooping. Bark almost white. As a specimen, and 
especially contrasted with evergreens, it makes a valuable tree for the lawn.

A. platanoides. Norway Maple. Resembles the Sugar 
Maple in character but with darker and larger fo¬ 
liage, round and spreading in habit of growth. It 
is really the European Hard Maple and retains this 
character here. For lawn specimens or shade, to 
plant on streets, in parks, cemeteries, avenues, or 
arching over roadways, this tree is highly recom¬ 
mended. Sometimes the trunks are slightly crooked 
when young, but they overcome this unsightliness 
in a few years when planted in the open.

Acer platanoides schwedleri. Schwedler's Maple. 
Similar to the Norway Maple, except in early 
spring the foliage is a bright purple, 
changing to bronze and then to dull green. 
In the fall it turns bronze before de¬ 
foliating. 
A. rubrum. Red Maple. A native tree 
which is not appreciated and one of the 
most attractive as a lawn specimen. 
The young shoots are bright red in 
winter. Flowers red, appearing before the leaves, 
which in fall vie with the oaks, sassafras, gum, 
sumac, or sugar maples for magnificence in color.
