Trees! What would our landscape be without them? While the magnificent specimens we now enjoy were 
planted many years ago, Barnes Bros.’ thrifty young trees will give generous shade within a few years. Think how 
little care a tree requires—how much it returns in shade, shelter and beauty, not only throughout your own life 
but for generations beyond. Look about your home now. Have you fully developed its possibilities? A stately 
Sugar Maple, a graceful Weeping Willow, a rare, bright Golden Rain Tree, or others could add a wealth of beauty. 
Here are a few choice varieties which we have selected for you. Choose with assurance that' you’ll receive expertly 
grown, well rooted and trained specimens. But let’s not forget to plant trees! 
NORWAY MAPLE (Acer platanoides). 40'60 ft. 
Rapid growing, symmetrical in form with a com' 
pact, rounded head. The dark green leaves give dense 
shade and turn a brilliant yellow in the fall. It is 
one of the most popular trees for shade and street 
planting. 6-8 ft., #1.50; 3 for #3.75. 8-10 ft., #2.00; 
3 for #5.40. 
SUGAR MAPLE (Acer saccharum). 80'100 ft.' A 
stately native tree, oval in form and very dense. Its 
dark green leaves become a mass of vivid reds and 
yellows in the fall. One of the finest street and shade 
trees. 6-8 ft., #1.50; 3 for #3.75. 8-10 ft., #2.00; 
3 for #5.40. 
CUTLEAF WEEPING WHITE BIRCH (Betula alba 
laciniata pendula). 40 ft. This white barked, grace' 
ful tree is one of the most beautiful that can be 
planted on a lawn. Leaves are light green and finely 
cut. The branches are slender and pendulous. Plant 
only in early spring. 6-8 ft., #2.50 each. 
REDBUD (Cercis Canadensis). A small tree with a 
broad round head. In spring before the leaves ap' 
pear, it bears dense masses of deep rose'pink flowers. 
Effective among evergreens. 3-4 ft., #1.25; 3 for 
#3.35. 
FLOWERING DOGWOOD (Cornus florida). Hand' 
some all the year around is this hardy native tree, 
growing 20'25 ft. high and sometimes shrubby. In 
spring before leaves appear, large flowers transform 
it into a cloud of white. In summer its splendid fo' 
liage is dense enough to give generous shade. In the 
fall there are bright scarlet berries, and leaves turn 
red to match. Dogwoods will give much pleasure 
and will add much beauty to your lawn. Plant only 
in early spring. 3-4 ft., #1.50 each. 
PINK FLOWERING DOGWOOD. 3-4 ft., #2.25 
each.
