^(Srees for Shade and Shelter 
MOVING A MAPLE IN FULL LEAF JULY 9TH 
We are equipped to transplant large trees, 20 to 40 feet, and while best done in the 
dormant period, we often move in full leaf. If inferesfcd in saving 1 0 to 20 years, and getting 
immediate effect, consult us 
W HEN hot summer sun beats down, you long for the welcome shade of a 
Maple, an Oak, or a broad-spreading Elm. But to have and enjoy such 
shade and shelter, you must plan ahead. The trees must be planted in fall 
or spring when the weather is cool. Then the roots take hold, the tree flourishes, 
and in a surprisingly few seasons the outspreading branches give the protec¬ 
tion you desire. 
We can supply—at very low prices—large trees that will give immediate 
effect, as well as smaller specimens from 6 to 1 5 feet high, which need a little 
more time to develop after moving to your place. Our trees are well grown, 
root-pruned, and transplanted several times; they are truly Hillenmeyer stand¬ 
ard. 
Acer - 
Acer dasycarpum Silver or Water Maple. Be¬ 
cause of its quick growth and good foliage, 
this tree is in great demand. The leaves 
appear early in spring, are light green on 
the upper side, silvery beneath, and remain 
until late fall. Small flowers open before the 
leaves appear. For planting as temporary 
trees — that is, alternating between the 
hard-wooded and slower growers, such as 
oaks, elms, sugar maples, gums, etc.—the 
Silver Maple is highly recommended.

A. platanoides. Norway Maple. Resembles the 
Sugar Maple in character but with darker 
Gnd larger foliage, round and spreading in 
habit of growth, it is really the European 
Hard Maple and retains this character here. 
For lawn specimens or shade to plant on 
streets, in parks, cemeteries, avenues, or 
arching over roadways, this tree is highly 
recommended. Sometimes the trunks are 
slightly crooked when young, but they over¬ 
come this unsightliness in a few years when 
planted in the open. 
Maple 
A. platanoides schwedleri. Schwedler's Maple. 
Similar to the Norway Maple, except in early 
spring the foliage is a bright purple, chang¬ 
ing to bronze and then to dull green. In 
the fall it turns bronze before defoliating. 
A. rubrum. Red Maple. A native tree which is 
not appreciated and one of the most attrac¬ 
tive as a lawn specimen. The young shoots 
are bright red in winter. Flowers red, appear¬ 
ing before the leaves, which in fall vie with 
the oaks, sassafras, gum, sumac, or sugar 
maples for magnificence in color. 
A. saccharum. Sugar Maple. Known everywhere 
and extremely popular. The tree grows to 
great size, erect, conical form, is perfectly 
hardy, withstands any sub-normal weather 
conditions, and is adaptable to nearly all 
types of soil. The tree yields valuable timber, 
as well as maple sugar. Foliage is deep green, 
turning in fall to indescribable colors.

Betula 
Betula alba. European White Birch. Tree of 
moderately quick growth, erect, with termin¬ 
al branches slightly drooping. Bark almost 
white. As a specimen, and especially con¬ 
trasted with evergreens, it makes a valuable 
tree for the lawn. Native of moist places, 
but will do well when planted on dry ground.

B. alba pendula gracilis. Cut-Leaf Weeping 
White Birch. Those who know and admire the 
distinctive characteristics and beauty of the 
White Birch know it is unusual and do 
not expect to find it among ordinary listings 
of popular trees. It forms a pyramidal tree 
of moderately rapid growth, and as it grows 
Birch 
older the younger branches become pendu¬ 
lous, drooping decidedly toward the ground. 
We have splendid specimens that are offered 
at very low price. Each

B. nigra. River Birch. This is a native tree with 
darker bark but in foliage and general char¬ 
acteristics resembles the other Birches. 
B. populifoiia. American White Birch. A me¬ 
dium sized tree with papery white bark and 
slender, pendulous branches. More vigorous 
than the European form and will grow in 
almost any soil.
