If you want to be remembered plant a Shade Tree and let it speak for you 
when you are gone.

Catalpa Bungei 
The lands of the Bible, once considered the finest in the East, flowing with milk and honey, now 
are mostly a barren wilderness, with the trees cut off. However, the Jews are now planting thousands 
of trees, the mountains and the hills are being terraced and vines adorn their sides. This planting has 
increased the average rainfall of Palestine fifty per cent. Take China, for instance, this year, where 
thousands are dying for lack of food. Their ancestors, generations ago, cut off all the trees and the 
people are suffering for it.

SHIPPED BY EXPRESS, NOT PREPAID 
HOPA RED FLOWERING CRAB. A beautiful pyra¬ 
midal growing tree with attractive foliage. Entirely 
covered with rose colored flowers in April. Fruit red 
inside and out, hanging on until late autumn. Very 
hardy and free from disease. 3 to 4 ft., each 75c. 
BIRCH, CUT-LEAVED WEEPING. Not <?nly the 
most popular of the weeping trees, but is indeed a 
picture of delicacy and grace. Its tall slender yet 
vigorous growth, graceful branches, silvery white 
bark and delicately cut foliage present a combination 
of attractive characteristics rarely met with in a 
single tree. Excellent for lawn and cemetery plant¬ 
ing. 5 to 6 ft., $1.50 each.

stems 4 to 7 feet high, makes an umbrella shaped top 
without pruning; perfectly hardy. Leaves large, 
glossy, deep green, heart-shaped. Very desirable tree. 
2-yr., 6 ft., $1.00 each; 2 for $1.90.

a mass of white flowers, later with yellow berries, 
which turn into bright scarlet and last long into 
winter, very beautiful. 5 to 6 ft., $1.50 each. 
LOMBARDY POPLAR (Populus nigra italica). In 
shape this is the exclamation mark among trees. Its 
towering spire has an individuality all its own. For 
tall screens and backgrounds, this tree is admirable.
