ORNAMENTAL SHADE TREES (Contd.) 
OAKS (Pin)—This tree is of fairly 
rapid growth with leaves deeply cut, 
and the leaves color beautifully in 
the late autumn. This variety trans¬ 
plants a lot more readily than most of 
our local Oaks. 8- to 10-foot size at 
$3.25 each. 
CATALPA BUNGEII (Umbrella Ca- 
talpa)—Just the tree to be used for 
formal effect. Propagated on a stem 
of the Catalpa Speciosa. It makes a 
very unique ornamental tree. Has a 
broad dome-shaped head at the top 
of a long straight stem. When the tree 
attains its full growth the top is often 
15 feet in diameter, on top of a strong 
stem from 7 to 8 feet in height. An 
exceptionally hardy variety. Extra nice 
hardy specimens at $2.00 each. 
WILLOWS—A tall spreading tree with 
long drooping branches and narrow, 
dark green leaves. It is a very impos¬ 
ing tree of graceful beauty. This tree 
prefers a moist location and is at its 
very best when planted near a pond 
or stream. If you have a fish pool or 
a small pond in your garden, don’t 
overlook planting one of these beauti¬ 
ful trees somewhere in the background 
of your flower garden. We have sev¬ 
eral varieties to offer and suggest the 
following as the best. 
Wisconsin Weeping Willow—The most 
hardy of the many varieties of Weep¬ 
ing Willows. This tree is a rapidly 
growing sort with long pendulous 
branches. We have these in 5- to 6- 
foot size at $1.50 each; and 6- to 8-foot 
size at $2.00 each. 
Niobe Weeping Willow — This is an 
exceptionally strong, hardy growing, 
graceful tree and of splendid drooping 
habits and it is very attractive and 
is of golden bark. This variety is a 
trifle higher than most Weeping Wil¬ 
lows but on account of its beauty and 
hardiness it is worth much more. 
We have these in nice 6- to 8-foot size 
trees at $2.00 each and 8- to 10-foot 
size at $3.00 each. 
Ask us for any kind or sizes of any 
trees not listed in our catalog. We have 
several other kinds; and many larger 
and smaller sizes in the varieties listed. 
PUSSY WILLOW—A very popular wil¬ 
low on account of catkins in March or 
April before the leaves form. This can 
be used as a shrub in your screen or 
border or may be planted as an in¬ 
dividual specimen. 2- to 3-feet size, 
40c each; 3- to 4-foot size, 60c each. 
Poplars 
POPLARS—Lombardy. This is a very 
tall growing variety, pyramidal in 
form. This tree is especially valuable 
for landscape planting and is used 
freely for screens and hedges. The 
trees we grow are branched very low 
to the ground, making them doubly 
valuable for this purpose.
