PLANT TREES FOR YOUR CHILDREN 
Many parents have planted trees and designated them for 
their children, who have seen the trees growing up with them¬ 
selves; and their lives have unquestionably been enriched as 
a result.

PURPLE MAPLE 
ASH, White (Fraxinus Ameri¬ 
cana). One of the best native 
trees; leaves dark green and 
effective throughout our long 
summers. Native throughout 
America. 
BIRCH, Cut-Leaved Weeping 
White. A tall, graceful, weeping 
tree with silvery white bark and 
delicately cut foliage. Excellent 
for lawn and cemetery planting. 
Reaches 60 feet at maturity. 
Price, 4 to 6 feet, each $2.00. 
CATALPA BUNGEI. A re¬ 
markable species forming a 
dense, round umbrella-like head; 
makes a beautiful lawn tree 
when grafted or budded on a 
high stem. 
ELM, American. In our opin¬ 
ion the handsomest and most 
dignified of all the native trees. 
Probably more largely planted 
and better known than any 
other. A tall growing, stately 
tree reaching 60 feet, with a 
wide arching top and vase-like 
form. Extensively used for 
street planting where its wide 
sweeping branches form perfect 
Gothic arches over the streets. 
ELM, Moline. A new pyramidal, 
vigorous growing variety, with 
large handsome green foliage. 
Fine trees for street planting. 
HACKBERRY. Its light green 
leaves are glossy, pointed; the 
branches spread horizontally, 
forming a wide, elm-shaped head 
of medium size. Vigorous, hardy 
and healthy, thriving in all soils. 
LINDEN, Americana (Bass¬ 
wood). A tall growing, stately 
tree, growing 60 to 80 feet tall, 
with large shining green leaves 
and light yellow fragrant flowers 
in July. A splendid tree for 
lawn and street planting. Valu¬ 
able for its beautiful white 
wood. 
MAPLE, NORWAY (Hard 
Maple) is without a doubt one 
of the most desirable shade trees 
for street and lawn planting. 
Of fairly rapid growth, reaching 
a height of 60 feet at maturity. 
Sturdy, compact and vigorous, 
forming a round head of stout 
branches and broad, deep green 
leaves. 
MAPLE, Sugar (Rock Maple). 
One of the most useful of all 
maples, excellent for street and 
lawn planting and used exten¬ 
sively in the production of maple 
sugar. A tree of magnificent 
proportions, often 80 feet in 
height, straight, spreading and 
symmetrical in shape. Long 
lived. It roots deeply, allowing 
grass to grow close about its 
trunk. Dark green leaves turn¬ 
ing to scarlet and gold in 
autumn. 
SCHWEDLER’S. The “Purple 
Norway” Maple’s beautiful leaves 
attract attention at all seasons, 
but are especially fine in spring 
when their gleaming red and 
purple contrast brightly with the 
delicate green of other trees.

CHINESE ELM 
Because of its beauty and ex¬ 
tremely rapid growth, the Chinese 
Elm has become the leading shade 
tree of America. It is planted in 
every state, standing intense cold 
and extreme heat extremely well. 
Under ordinary conditions, it makes 
excellent shade in five short years, 
as its average growth is 5 feet a 
year. It is by far the fastest grow¬ 
ing hardwood shade tree.
