Beside providing the comfort of shade from summer’s intense sun, shade trees are 
invaluable in the framing of the home 
The soil at Rosedale insures good root systems which in turn insures well developed 
shade trees. They are well spaced in rows at our nursery to allow for proper develop¬ 
ment of top. We grow only varieties which will succeed in existing climatic conditions 
in this territory. You will find in our list varieties for almost every purpose. 
QUERCUS • Oak 
The Oaks, especially when they attain size, 
are the most picturesque of all trees, symbol¬ 
izing strength and durability. Their reputa¬ 
tion as slow growers is not warranted, for, 
when once established, they will make a 
yearly growth equal to that of almost any 
other species. 
Palustris (Pin Oak). A superb and distinct 
tree. The Pin Oak’s graceful, drooping 
branches support a mass of deeply lobed, 
sharply pointed leaves, changing to deep 
red in Autumn. Jack Frost has never 
shown greater skill than in the coloring he 
produces in Pin and Scarlet Oaks. Each

ACER • Maple 
The Maples are universally popular. They 
are regular in outline, vigorous growers, beau¬ 
tiful in foliage, and adapt themselves to 
almost any soil. The Norway Maple is 
especially desirable for street planting and 
thrives well near the sea. 
Palmatum atropurpureum Ma¬ 
ple). A comparatively dwarf Maple, slow 
in growth and attaining ultimately about

light woods. Prefers well-drained soil and 
Spring planting. Each

5 to 6 ft. 4.00 
6 to 7 ft. 8.00

Sylvatica (European Beech). For screen or 
hedge, this Beech is ideal among deciduous 
trees. It gives nearly as much screen in 
Winter as in Summer, owing to the fact 
that the dead leaves persist in Winter. As 
it bears the shears well, it may be kept 
within bounds for hedge purposes and 
grows as dense as any hedge. We have a 
fine lot of these trees, about 12 to 14 ft. 
high, that would give an immediate effect. 
They may be handled with ball and burlap, 
although it would not be as necessary as 
the roots have been well developed from 
occasional root pruning. Each 
3 to 4 ft.$2.50 
4 to 5 ft. 3.50 
0 to 7 ft. 8.00

Quantity prices on application. 
TILIA • Linden 
Extensively planted as an ornamental tree. 
Nearly all the species are of rapid growth and 
not very particular as to soil. They are hand¬ 
some, upright, and regular in shape. The 
pleasant odor of the flowers is an additional 
recommendation. 
Americana (American Linden). Especially 
noted for its great vigor, large, heart- 
shaped leaves, and very fragrant flowers in 
June. No flowers produce so delicious a 
honey as those of the Am. Linden. Each 
2 to 234 i n - caliper.$5.00 
234 to 3 in. caliper. 8.00 
Large specimens. 
V u • (European Linden). Generally 
t Ulgaris conce ded the best form for street 
planting as the dark green leaves remain 
good until late Autumn. The compact, low- 
branched head is particularly fitted to lawn 
whprp thp branches make a natural 
canopy.

Large specimens, 25 to 50 ft. 
ULMUS • Elm 
Americana (American Elm). As the Oak is 
pre-eminent in dignity and majesty the 
Elm is pre-eminent in grace and elegance. 
The graceful, umbrella-shaped top, borne 
high above the other trees, always adds to 
the landscape picture. It is not particular 
as to soil and makes a delightful shade as 
it does not branch low, thus allowing the 
breezes free play. Each 
10 to 12 ft.$3.00 
2 to 234 in. caliper. 4.00 
2J4 to 3 in. caliper. 6.00

334 to 4 in. caliper. 12.00 
Pumila (Siberian Elm). A rapid growing 
tree with slender, drooping branches. Fine 
for street planting and thrives in barren 
positions in both drought and heat. Proba¬ 
bly one of the best of the very fast-growing 
varieties. It will attain sufficient size to 
provide real shade in just a few years. Each 
3 to 334 in. caliper, 12-15 ft.$7.50
