in the world. It is a hang-over from prehistoric 
ages and has no relatives in the plant king¬ 
dom. A tall, picturesque, hardy tree with hori¬ 
zontal branches and small maiden-hair fern 
like leaves which usually hang in clusters of 
three or more from the branches. The foliage 
changes to golden yellow in the fall. A unique 
tree which is worthy of a place on any lawn.

getting immediate effect, consult us. 
Ginkgo Tree 
BETULA — Continued 
Betula alba pendula gracilis. Cut-Leaf Weep¬ 
ing White Birch. Those who know and ad¬ 
mire the distinctive characteristics and beau¬ 
ty of the White Birch know it is unusual and 
do not expect to find it among ordinary 
listings of popular trees. It forms a pyrami¬ 
dal tree of moderately rapid growth, and as 
it grows older the younger branches become 
pendulous, drooping decidedly toward the 
ground. We have splendid specimens that 
ere offered at a very low price. Each 
6 to 8 ft.$3.00 
8 to 10 ft. 4.00 
10 to 12 ft. 5.00 
B. nigra. River Birch. This is a native tree with 
darker bark but in foliage and general char¬ 
acteristics resembles the other Birches. 
B. populifolia. American White Birch. A me¬ 
dium sized tree with papery white bark and 
slender, pendulous branches. More vigorous 
than the European form and will grow in 
almost any soil.

Cladrastis - Yellow-Wood 
Cladrastis lutea. So called because the wood 
was formerly used to make a yellow dye. A 
native tree of spreading habit with foliage 
generally resembling the ash. It produces 
great drooping panicles of white pealike 
blossoms not unlike wisteria. Foliage bril¬ 
liant yellow in autumn. Each 
6 to 7 ft.$3.00 
7 to 8 ft. 4.00

Carpinus betula pyramidalis. Pyramidal Euro¬ 
pean Hornbeam. A narrow stately tree of 
columnar habit with Beech-like foliage. For 
a formal specimen or making an alley if is 
of much value. Each

C. caroliniana. Hornbeam or Blue Beech. This 
attractive, slow growing tree deserves wider 
planting. In foliage it resembles the native 
Beech but is much more compact and grace¬ 
ful in habit of growth. The terminal growth 
has a reddish cast, and foliage colors scarlet 
to orange-yellow in the fall. Fine where a 
small, compact specimen is wanted. Each 
5 to 6 ft.$2.50

Celtis - Hackberry 
Celtis mississippiensis. The Hackberry is one 
of our best trees. It is not rapid in growth, 
but is comparatively free of disease and 
reaches a height of 40 to 60 feet. Grows 
on either dry or wet soil, and the fruits are 
attractive to birds and children. Each

Cornus - Dogwood 
Cornus florida. White-Flowering Dogwood. A 
native tree, well known to everyone. It is 
beautiful all the year, and there is hardly a 
woody plant quite as useful as our native 
Dogwood. Its blossoms are conspicuous, com¬ 
ing early in the spring. The foliage is at¬ 
tractive all summer, and in the fall colors 
beautifully, with red berries that hang on 
most of the winter. It can be used as a spe¬ 
cimen, or in groups as a background for 
shrub borders. In contrast with bright, flow¬ 
ering trees like redbud, it is especially showy.

Cornus florida rubra. Pink-flowering Dogwood. 
This is not a new or uncommon tree but one 
too often overlooked as a means of beauti¬ 
fying home grounds. The common white va¬ 
riety may be better known but this pink¬ 
flowering type affords the loveliest display. 
Our trees are shipped balled and burlapped 
to insure safe and sure growth. Once started, 
they need but simple care. Like the white¬ 
flowering kind, the leaves of this Dogwood 
color attractively in the fall.
