SASSAFRAS 
It Excels Everyivhere in New England 
The Elms are famous trees and have a rural, pastoral air that fits 
admirably into landscape planting schemes. They almost always look 
best in a wide-spaced row, or isolated in a field or on a hillside, and 
some of the finest of our New England villages owe their beauty to 
their Elm-bordered streets. Even in winter tbe Elms are interesting 
and attractive because of their maze of interlaced branches studded 
with tiny buds ready for the burst of spring. There is scarcely any 
purpose for which they are not almost always first choice, because of 
their grace, and rapid growth. 
Ulmus americana. American Elm. 120 ft. (Lr.) The most beautiful of 
the Elms, and the glory of our old New England towns. It is lofty 
and spreading, with drooping branches and is very hardy. At 
maturity it attains great character and individual beauty.

Syringa japonica. Japanese Tree Lilac. 25 ft. This Lilac grows as a 
large shrub or narrow-headed, small tree, splendid to vary the

to flower. In late June and early July it produces large, ten-inch 
panicles of creamy white to light yellow flowers, which give off a 
heavy fragrance.
