Juglans - Walnut 
Juglans cinerea. Butternut. This native tree is perhaps 
the most precocious of the nut-bearing trees. It is 
rapid in growth, quickly making a round-headed 
tree. If you want nuts quickly, plqnt Butternuts. 
J. nigra. Black Walnut. One of the noblest of our 
native forest trees and in great demand for plant¬ 
ing.

Koelreuteria - Varnish 
Tree 
Koelreuteria paniculata. Frequently 
called “Golden Rain Tree" because of M. 
the many yellow blossoms. It grows 
20 to 30 feet high, and is of globular 
shape. In its young stages it is not 
so shapely but develops into an inter¬ 
esting specimen. Each 
5 to 6 ft.$ 2.00

Liquidambar - Sweet 
Gum 
Liquidambar styraciflua. Another native 
tree not appreciated. It is not of 
rapid growth nor especially easy to 
transplant, but the glossy foliage in 
summer, the brilliant color in the 
fall, and the unusual appearance of 
the young branches with corky bark 
in the winter are qualities which 
make it especially valuable. Each

Liriodendron - Tulip 
Tree 
Liriodendron tulipifera. Tulip Poplar. 
Belongs to the Magnolia family, and 
is one of the finest native trees, 
growing to be very large, and bearing 
tulip-shaped, yellowish blossoms. Its 
leaves are large and very dark green. 
Grows quickly after it becomes es¬ 
tablished. Each

Magnolia 
Magnolia acuminata. Cucumber Tree. A well- 
known native of our mountains, conical in 
shape and with large, glaucous leaves, mak¬ 
ing it attractive. The flowers are fragrant, 
usually a dull white color, followed by elon¬ 
gated green seed clusters which later turn 
coral. Very satisfactory.

M. grandiflora. Southern Magnolia. While this 
grand southern evergreen attains great 
height in the South it grows to be only a 
medium size tree in Kentucky. The large 
waxy, evergreen leaves resemble the Rubber 
Plant. Has large white blossoms followed by 
scarlet seed. Sometimes a little difficult to 
get established, but well worth the effort.
