CATALPA 
Bloodleaf Japanese Maple (ACER) 
AESCULUS — HORSECHESTNUT 
Aesculus hippocastanum 
HORSECHESTNUT 60-80 Ft. 
The Horsechestnut has long been a favorite for street and 
park plantings. From May to June this tree fills out with large 
panicles of showy white flowers followed in October by the 
familiar spiny burrs of chestnuts. This tree is hardy, and fairly 
rapid in growth. 
AILANTHUS 
Ailanthus glandulosa 
TREE OF HEAVEN. 50 FEET 
Resenting neither the poorest of soils nor dust and smoke- 
filled air, this graceful, rapidly growing tree is valuable for city 
street planting or for guickly effective screens and hedges which 
can be pruned to keep at a desired height. The long, compound 
leaves give the tree a tropical appearance and remain bright 
green late in the season when leaves of many other trees have 
turned brown. 
ARALIA 
Aralia spinosa 
DEVILS WALKING STICK; HERCULES CLUB. 20 FEET 
This small, ornamental tree has the same tropical appearance 
as Ailanthus glandulosa and is useful for a number of imposing 
effects. The branches are studded with short spines; the pinnately 
compound leaves are two to three feet long. Large trusses of 
flowers followed by red berries, changing black, are produced on 
the branch ends. It delights in a rich soil and survives the 
severest winters. 
BETULA — BIRCH 
Birches are noted for their colorful bark, graceful 
branching and dainty leaves. They add charm to 
every landscape scene, whether used as lawn speci¬ 
mens or in groups of shrubs or other trees. 
Betula alba 
EUROPEAN WHITE BIRCH. 60 FEET 
An individual tree which stands out with distinctive charm 
when included in the landscape plan. Delicate flexible branches 
support small green leaves that turn gold in autumn, and the 
conspicuous white bark is enchanting the year round. No tree 
surpasses it in grace and beauty. 
Betula alba laciniata 
CUTLEAF WEEPING BIRCH. 35 FEET 
Some attribute even more singular grace and charm to this 
variety than to its type, B. alba. The deeply cut leaves give a 
fountain-like appearance to the branches that bend toward the 
ground; its white bark, beautiful through the four seasons, lends 
a naturalistic effect to the garden. It is a superb lawn specimen. 
Catalpa bungei 
UMBRELLA CATALPA. 20 FEET 
Rows of these small trees with their familiar globe-shaped 
heads on slender, straight trunks are often seen along walks or 
drives, or in pairs at entrances where they add dignity and form 
to the landscape plan. The year's growth should be cut back to 
its starting point each winter. 
CERCIS — REDBUD 
Cercis canadensis 
AMERICAN REDBUD; JUDAS TREE. 25 FEET 
This tall shrub or bushy tree is unusually arresting in early 
spring when its branches are covered with clusters of rose-pink 
flowers. It is effectively used in shrub borders where its conspicuous 
spring color followed with large heart-shaped, deep rich green 
leaves adds variety to the planting. 
CORNUS — DOGWOOD 
The flowering dogwoods are among the most 
beautiful of the spring flowering trees. They have 
showy red fruit, produced in small clusters in Septem¬ 
ber and October, and few trees have foliage of such 
brilliant coloring in the fall. Dogwoods thrive in low, 
moist, fertile soils and prefer a somewhat shaded 
location. 
Cornus florida 
FLOWERING DOGWOOD. 20 FEET 
The rare beauty of Dogwood in spring when it is white with 
bloom, or in summer with its dark green foliage changing in the 
fall to gorgeous reds, is hard to equal; it is one of the loveliest 
of trees. The spreading branches grow horizontally and slightly 
upward from the trunk, conspicuous flowers, appearing early in 
the spring, are three to three and a half inches in diameter. A 
Dogwood makes a beautiful lawn or shrub border specimen, and 
is valuable for naturalizing where its native woods habitat can 
be copied. 
Cornus florida rubra 
RED FLOWERING DOGWOOD. 20 FEET 
This variety stands out among other ornamental trees as 
being one of the most desirable. Showy rose colored bracts 
(petals) and the deep red foliage in the fall conspicuously dis¬ 
tinguish it from the white Dogwoods, having the same ultimate 
height and good habits of growth. A combination of the red 
flowering with the white makes a beautiful grouping.
