Populus - Poplar 
Poplus nigra italica. Lombardy Poplar. A tall, slender tree of rapid growth, 
reachinng great height and not to be confused with Carolina Poplar. Speci¬ 
mens often reach 50 feet, with a spread of less than 10 feet, and for this 
reason when trees are needed for narrow places, between buildings, congested 
lawns, narrow avenues, Lombardy Poplar may be used to advantage. Because 
of its great height and quick growth it is recommended for backgrounds of 
buildings, to add character to plantings or to offset straight or bare lines; 
for screening unsightly views, fire protection from close buildings, or wind¬ 
breaks—and for quick effects we recommend it. Each Five

P. bolleana. Bolleana Poplar. Just because the Carolina Poplar is an enormous 
weed and nothing else, one should not discriminate against all the Poplar 
family. Bolleana Poplar has glitfering green leaves, silvered underneath, and 
makes an attractive display against the sky when they are set in motion by 
a gentle breeze. The bark is gray, giving a pleasing winter effect. It is a 
fast growing, slender, columnar tree, a little wider than Lombardy, which it 
resembles at a distance and for which it should be used as a substitute.

Prunus - Flowering Cherries 
Prunus subhirtella pendula. Weeping Japanese Flowering Cherry. As a lawn 
tree this can hardly be excelled. Its sweeping, pendulous branches are literally 
studded with single pink bloom early in spring. An ornament in any lawn. 
Double Weeping Cherry. A double form of the above with darker blossoms. 
Prices of the above Weeping Cherries Each 
Grafted 5 to 6 ft. from ground.$3.50 
Prunus serrulata. Japanese Flowering Cherry. No other flowering tree has the 
beauty of these wonders of the Orient.. As the demand increases our variety 
list will grow, but the ones named here are the choicest. Like all Cherries, 
they are shallow-rooted, and do not necessarily have to have rich ground in 
which to thrive. 
Naden. Large, double, blush-pink variety. Midseason. Tree of medium growth. 
Shirofugen. Very large, double, pinkish white flowers. 
Kwanzan. Deep pink, shading into old rose; late; very double.

Quercus - Oak 
Quercus alba. White Oak. One of the grandest of all the Oaks. Rather difficult 
to transplant and of slow growth, but "patience brings a perfect reward." 
Leaves silver to purplish red in autumn. 
Q. coccinea. Scarlet Oak. A beautiful symmetrical tree very much resembling 
the Pin Oak. Not quite as rapid in growth, leaves somewhat smaller and 
deeply lobed. Colors brilliantly in the fall. 
Q. macrocarpa. Burr or Mossy-Cup Oak. A native variety of slow growth, but 
becomes a stately tree well covered with thick, dark green foliage of heavy 
texture. For permanency it has no superior. Prefers a moist or deep soil. 
Q. nigra. Water Oak. A round-topped tree of good form. Will grow in either 
moist or dry soil. Foliage green until late fall. 
Q. palustris. Pin Oak. The most popular of all the Oaks. Its beautiful glossy, 
deeply lobed green leaves change to gorgeous shades of purplish red and 
scarlet in the autumn. It is symmetrical, easy to transplant and of rapid 
growth. For street, avenue or as a lawn specimen there is nothing superior. 
Where a desirable hardwood tree is wanted we unhesitatingly recommend a 
Pin Oak. 
Q. rubra. Red Oak. Not as compact nor does it color as brilliantly as the Pin 
Oak. Somewhat more difficult to transplant but will grow in almost any 
soil when once established. One of the fine Oaks.

Salix - Willow 
Salix babylonica. Babylon Weeping Willow. One of the most graceful of all the 
Willows. Makes a round-topped tree, and when it attains some size its long, 
pendant branches are most effective. 
S. elegantissima. Thurlow Weeping Willow. Of rather upright growth when young 
but as it attains height and age its long, drooping silvery branches make it 
the most effective of all the Willows. Rapid grower in either moist or other 
good soil. Fine for specimens or screens. Best of the Weeping Willows. 
S. niobe. Golden Weeping Willow. The best of the Golden Willows. Slender 
leaves, green above and silvery below. Twig and bark golden.

Taxodium - Bald Cypress 
Taxodium distichum. The great lumber tree of the far South, 
but native and perfectly at home here. Will grow in dry or wet 
soil and blends well in either deciduous or evergreen plantings. 
The light green foliage is needle-like and the general shape 
of the tree resembles a spruce. Considered slow growing, but 
very symmetrical and as durable as an oak, in fact the lumber 
is called the "wood eternal."
