Quercus - Oak 
Quercus alba. White Oak. One of the grandest of all the Oaks. Rather difficult 
to transplant and of slow growth, but "Patience brings a perfect reward." 
Leaves silver to purplish red in autumn. 
Q. coccinea. Scarlet Oak. A beautiful symmetrical tree very much resembling 
the Pin Oak. Not quite as rapid in growth, leaves somewhat smaller and 
deeply lobed. Colors brilliantly in the fall. 
Q. macrccarpa. Burr or Mossy-Cup Oak. A native variety of slow growth, but 
becomes a stately tree well covered with thick, dark green foliage of heavy 
texture. For permanency it has no superior. Prefers a moist or deep soil. 
Q. nigra. Water Oak. A round-topped tree of good form. Will grow in either 
moist or dry soil. Foliage green until late fall. 
Q. palustris. Pin Oak. The most popular of all the Oaks. Its beautiful glossy, 
deeply lobed green leaves change to gorgeous shades of purplish red and 
scarlet in the autumn. It is symmetrical, easy to transplant and of rapid 
growth. For street, avenue or as a lawn specimen there is nothing superior. 
Where a desirable hardwood tree is wanted we unhesitatingly recommend a 
Pin Oak. 
Q. rubra. Red Oak. Not as compact nor does it color as brilliantly as the Pin 
Oak. Somewhat more difficult to transplant but will grow in almost any 
soil when once established. One of the fine Oaks.

Taxodium - Bald Cypress 
Taxodium distichum. The great lumber tree of the far South, but native and 
perfectly at home here. Will grow in dry or wet soil and blends well in either 
deciduous or evergreen plantings. The light green foliage is needle-like and 
the general shape of the tree resembles a spruce. Considered slow growing, 
but very symmetrical and as durable as an Oak, in fact, the lumber is called 
the "wood eternal." Each

Salix - Willow 
Salix babylonica. Babylon Weeping Willow. One of the most grace¬ 
ful of all the Willows. Makes a round-topped tree, and when it 
attains some size its long, pendant branches are most effective. 
S. elegantissima. Thurlow Weeping Willow. Of rather upright 
growth when young but as it attains height and age its long, 
drooping silvery branches make it the most effective of all the 
Willows. Rapid grower in either moist or other good soil. Fine for 
specimens or screens. Best of the Weeping Willows.

Tilia - Linden 
Tilia americana. American Linden. Sometimes known as Basswood. This na¬ 
tive tree is very attractive and will grow rapidly when planted in low 
ground. The leaves are distinctly larger than other varieties. Branches 
pendulous in habit of growth. Makes an excellent shade tree under favor¬ 
able conditions. Each

Ulmus - Elm 
Ulmus americana. American Elm. A vigorous native tree. It is rapid in growth, 
with long, spreading, and pendant branches forming giant arches over 
roads and streets; as a lawn tree is quick to make a marked effect. The 
wood is tough, the leaves are moderate in size, and make a permanent 
tree for shade. The beetle that defoliates the European Elms usually 
avoids

U. americana moline. Moline Elm. We graft this type because its singular 
upright characteristics make it invaluable in narrow spaces. Its clean 
growth, large, deep green, heavily plaited leaves, added to its sturdiness 
and solidity will make it increasingly popular when it becomes known. We 
have a fine stock and invite your inspection. Each Five

U. pumila. Chinese Elm. A new, rapid-growing tree that does especially well 
in difficult situations, like city soot and gases, dry and poor ground, nar¬ 
row street plots, etc. Leaves smaller than our native Elm, habit more 
pendant, and of course, much more rapid. Only drawback possible is 
sleet damage and Elm-beetle injury. Plant for twenty to th rty years' du¬ 
ration. We have the North China strain only and it will make up as 
quickly as a willow. Each Five
