Weeping Willow 
OnMxwi&ittal 
LAKE CITY ELM. This is a selection made at Lake City, Minnesota, of a very fine 
specimen of the American White Elm, the greatest ornamental tree we have in 
America. The tree selected was a remarkably beautiful tree. All propagating has 
been from this one specimen so the young trees will all be like this one parent 
when they are mature. We offer Lake City in a straight 5- to 6-ft. heavy whip so 
as to keep the transportation cost down. These trees need no trimming. 5 to 6 ft., 
each, $1.25; 4 or more at $1.00 each. 
SCHWEDLERI MAPLE. This is the beautiful Red Maple. The trees have the same 
beauty of growth that our native Hard Maple has. But in the spring from the 
time growth starts and for about six weeks, the tree is absolutely red. One of our 
hardiest and most beautiful trees. To grow a good Schwedler Maple the limbs 
should be allowed to grow close to the ground. Have low limbs on the south side 
if possibe to shade the trunk and save the tree from sun-scald. Nice 6 to 8 ft., 
each, $2.50; pair, $4.50. 
BOLLEANA POPLAR (Silver Leaved). Very similar in growing habits to the much 
used Lombardy Poplar and used in similar planting situations. A very desirable 
tall growing spirelike tree with beautiful maple-like leaves which are lined under' 
neath with silver. Often used to fill out as a corner or sentinel trees to a back- 
ground, or to plant as a very tall screen to blot out unsightly buildings or views. 
Can be planted within 3 feet of a tall building and will grow right up the side 
of it. 4 to 5 ft., 80c each; $1.50 per pair. 5 to 6 ft., $1.25 each; $2.00 per pair. 
6 to 8 ft., $2.00 each; $3.75 per pair. 8 to 10 ft., $3.00 each; $5.00 per pair. 
LOMBARDY POPLAR. Very similar in growing habit and appearance to the Bolleana 
Poplar described above, only this is a green-leaved tree. This is the tree almost uni' 
versally used as an accent tree in ornamental yard planting. We have a large stock in 
all the smaller sizes up to and including 5' to 6'ft. trees and because of this we are 
making unusually attractive prices. 3- to 4-ft., select, 4 for $1.00; 10 for $2.00. 4 to 
5 ft., 3 for $1.00; 10 for $2.50. 5 to 6 ft., 2 for $1.00; 10 for $3.50. 
CORKSCREW WILLOW. A beautiful but odd looking tree that comes to us from the 
Department of Agriculture at Washington. An upright willow which grows much like a 
Lombardy Poplar with every limb twisting and turning as it grows upwards much after 
the fashion of a corkscrew. This is a real ornamental tree in any planting. 3- to 4-ft. 
trees, $1.00. 
WEEPING WILLOW (Golden Niobe). The golden Weeping Willow, the most beautiful 
in that species. Very appropriate to use in cemetery planting. Splendid as a lawn tree, 
for planting near pools or along the banks of streams. A graceful weeping tree with 
deep rich golden bark on trunk and along the long slender weeping branches. Hardiest 
of all the Weeping Willows. Very beautiful in the winter time because of its rich yellow 
bark, which makes it very conspicuous. Absolutely hardy here in Minnesota. 2-yr. trees, 
5 to 6 ft., $1.25 each; $2.25 per pair. 1 yr., 4 to 5 ft., 75c; $1.25 per pair. 
PUSSY WILLOW. Grow and have your own pussy willow branches. Cut them fresh from 
your own trees and have them in season just when you want them. Our Pussy Willows 
are the European variety with the great big fat pussys. Nice, 5- to 6-ft., 75c; 2 for $1.25. 
ORNAMENTAL TREES IN 
SMALL SIZES 
BLACK WALNUT. One of the hardiest, easiest to grow, and longest lived of all our trees. Native as far 
north as Faribault. Grows into an immense spreading tree of great beauty. Valuable to grow in the wind¬ 
break and in waste pieces of rough land where it can be allowed to stand to produce lumber which is very 
valuable. 18 to 24 in., #5.00 per 100; #35.00 per 1000. 2 to 3 ft., #6.50 per 100; #45.00 per 1000. 
2 to 3 ft. select trees, #1.00 per 10; #8.00 per 100. All transplanted trees. Express collect. 
GINKGO or MAIDEN HAIR TREE. An odd but beautiful tree from Japan, with peculiar fernlike foliage 
which is entirely unlike that of any other tree. Beginning to be much used now as a new ornamental tree. 
A specimen of this tree is growing at Duluth, Minnesota, which speaks for its hardiness. 2-ft. trees, 75c; 
3 for #2.00. 1-ft. trees, 25c; 6 for #1.25. 
KENTUCKY COFFEE TREE. A tall, fast-growing upright tree often found native this far north, so it is 
perfectly hardy. A fine ornamental tree for the lawn or to grow in clusters. The foliage is 1 to 3 ft. long, 
of. great grace and beauty. Greenish white flowers in long panicles come on the end of the current year’s 
growth and are followed by interesting clusters of large, flat, red seed pods which hang on all winter. 
18- to 24-in. trees, 25c; 6 for #1.25. 2-ft. trees, 75c; 3 for #2.00. 
MOUNTAIN ASH, European. A fine ornamental tree for the lawn. Almost without pruning, it forms a 
magnificent, fairly dense, well-shaped head, covered from midsummer until midwinter with large clusters of 
beautiful scarlet berries—a brilliant color for the landscape. 3 to 4 ft., 25c each; 6 for #1.25. 
YELLOW WOOD (Cladrastis Lutea). Hardy in New England and to Ontario in the east and to at least 
Northern Ilinois in the middle west. Here is really one of America’s most beautiful trees. A broad, round- 
headed tree covered with a profusion of white flowers in June. The writer first saw large beautiful speci¬ 
mens of this tree in full bloom north of Boston and has never forgotten the sight. Leaves turn a golden 
yellow in autumn. Nice 2- to 3-ft. trees, 50c each; 3 for #1.00. 
RUSSIAN MULBERRY. Everyone who loves birds and has the room should plant one or more Russian. < 
Mulberry trees in their fence row or back yard. Birds love the Mulberry and will eat them and leave.-your 
other fruit alone. Nice 4- to 5-ft. trees, 75c each; 6 for #3.00.
