Pink Flowering Dogwood 
Populus - Poplar 
Populus nigra italica. Lombardy Poplar. A tall, slender tree of rapid growth, reaching 
great he.ght, and not to be contused with Carolina Poplar. Specimens often reach 
50 feet, with a spread of less than 10 feet, and for this reason when trees are 
needed for narrow places, between buildings, congested lawns, narrow avenues, Lom¬ 
bardy Poplar may be used to advantage. Because of its great height and quick 
growth it is recommended for backgrounds of buildings, to add character to plant¬ 
ings or to offset straight or bare lines; for screen.ng unsightly views, fire protection 
from close buildings, or windbreaks—and for quick effects we recommend it.

P. bolleana. Bolleana Poplar. Just because the Carolina Poplar is an enormous weed 
and nothing else, one should not discriminate against all of the Poplar family. 
Bolleana Poplar has glittering green leaves, silvered underneath, and makes an 
attractive display against the sky when they are set in motion by a gentle breeze. 
The bark is gray, giving a pleasing winter effect. It is a fast growing, slender, 
columnar tree, a little wider than Lombardy Poplar, which it resembles at a distance 
and for which it should be used as a substitute. Each Five

Prunus - Flowering Cherries 
Prunus subhirtella pendula. Weeping Japanese Flowering Cherry. As a lawn tree this 
can hardly be excelled. Its sweeping, pendulous branches are literally studded with 
single pink bloom early in spring. An ornament in any lawn. 
Double Weeping Cherry. A double form of the above with darker blossoms. 
Prices of above Weeping Cherries: Each 
Grafted 5 to 6 ft. from ground .$3.50 
Prunus serrulata. Japanese Flowering Cherry. No other flowering tree has the beauty 
of these wonders of the Orient. As the demand increases our variety list will grow, 
but the ones named here are the choicest. Like all Cherries, they are shallow-rooted 
and do not necessarily have to have rich ground in which to thrive. 
Naden. Large, double, blush-pink variety. Midseason. Tree of medium g.owth. 
Shirofugen. Very large, double, pinkish white flowers. 
Kwanzan. Deep pink, shading into old rose; late; very double.

Malus - Flowering Crab 
The Flower.ng Crabs have few rivals among the gor¬ 
geous spring-flowering trees. They are hardy, of easy 
culture and will thrive in almost any soil. They are avail¬ 
able in many shades and when used as specimen or mass 
plantings are most effective. Many kinds bear very orna¬ 
mental fruit. No lawn is complete without one of these 
gems. 
M. floribunda. Japanese Flowering Crab. 12 to 15 ft. 
A small, spreading tree with graceful arching branches. 
Buds rosy red changing to light pink. Fruit reddish and 
showy. One of the best. 
M. hopa. Hopa Crab. 18 to 20 ft. Strong, healthy tree, 
rose-pink flowers. Fruit red inside and out. 
M. ioensis plena. Bechtel's Crab. 12 to 15 ft. Rather 
slow grower with upright, spreading branches. Its dou¬ 
ble pink flowers resemble clusters of small roses. 
M. niedzwetzkyana. Redvein Crab. 15 to 20 ft. A Russian 
variety with purplish red flowers, twigs, leaves, and 
fruit. A rather larger spreading tree than most va- 
rietes.

Morus - Mulberry

growth and with profuse foliage. It is wonderfully productive, and for any¬ 
one wishing to attract birds and for chicken rows it cannot be surpassed. 
Fruit smaller than our native variety. Each 
6 to 8 ft.$1.50 
8 to 10 ft. 2.00 
10 to 12 ft. 2.50 
Platanus - Sycamore 
Platanus occidentalis. A native Sycamore which is not appreciated. However, 
if you want a tree of rapid growth, rugged in character, picturesque in winter 
with its white bark, you should not overlook this grand old tree. Fine for 
woodland and paddocks. Tolerant of soot and smoke and therefore is much 
used as a street tree in cities. Each Five
