Ash, White (Fraxinus Americana) — 
50' to 60'-—One of the most desirable 
trees for landscape and street plant¬ 
ing. The trunk is straight and smooth. 
Exceptionally clean and rapid grow¬ 
ing, with handsome foliage which in 
autumn colors a mellow gold tinged 
with bronzy purple. It is easily trans¬ 
planted and prefers a rich loamy soil 
with sunny exposure but grows well 
in any well-drained location.

Middle West can compare with the 
beauty of the Dogwood in full bloom. 
Flowers immense, a clear white, 3-in. 
across and are produced in great 
abundance before leaves appear. Foli¬ 
age grayish - green, turning to blood 
red in fall.

habit of growth and flower as White 
Dogwood, excepting flower is beauti¬ 
ful pink. Very showy. 
Elm, American (Ulmus Americana)—- 
80' to 100'—A noble native tree of ma¬ 
jestic height and graceful drooping 
branches with handsome leaves. One of 
the best types for wide spread shade 
in the yard. Indispensable for park and 
avenue plantings.

compact than American Elm. Large

of shade trees. Straight and symmetri¬ 
cal, resistant to diseases and long 
lived. Its handsome foliage is a blaze 
of color in the fall. Cannot be excelled 
for street and lawn planting. While its 
growth is not as rapid as many softer 
wooded trees, it is much more perma¬ 
nent and desirable.

pact growing, with broad, deep green

Special Large Leaf Chinese Elm 
A new improved type of this popular 
tree. Smooth, straight trunk, upright 
growth, larger leaves, limbs do not

Improved Budded Small Leaf 
Chinese Elm 
We have selected a particularly fine 
specimen of the regular Chinese Elms 
and are propagating from this tree by 
budding so that all of our Chinese 
Elms are select specimen trees. 
H. A. Adams of Kansas City, Mo., sends 
this picture of a Broadleaf Chinese Elm. 
This was a 6-8 ft. tree when planted two 
years ago and it is now 24 feet tall. The 
adjoining American Elms were infested 
with aphis and other insect pests while this 
tree was immune from these pests.
