Ornamental Trees 
O RNAMENTAL TREES occupy a very important place in landscape decorations. They are often 
thought of chiefly for shade, yet there are varieties that vie with the choicest flowering plants in 
the wealth and beauty of their bloom and showy fruit. The foliage of some kinds turn into such 
gorgeous Autumn tints that they end the season in a blaze of glory. Background, accent and wind¬ 
break effects are readily achievable through the use of ornamental trees. Varieties that hold their 
dried leaves all Winter, harbor the Winter birds; those with contrasting shades of bark add interest 
to the landscape all year round. 
ACER—MAPLE 
Dasycarpum. (Silver Maple). L. A reliable, 
easily transplanted, rapid grower, that does well 
in wet as well as dried soils. The wood is very 
brittle and as the tree matures is subject to break¬ 
age in wind or ice storms, so should not be planted 
close to buildings. Deeply cut leaves, silvery be¬ 
neath. 8 to 10 feet, each $1.25; 10 for $10.00. 
Silver Maple 
Dasycarpum Wieri laciniatum. (Wier’s Cut¬ 
leaved Silver Maple). A very beautiful specimen 
tree, with delicately cut leaves and distinct, half- 
drooping habit. The leader grows rapidly upright 
and the slender lateral branches curve gracefully 
downward. 8 to 10 feet, each $1.50; 10 for $12.50. 
Negundo. (Ash-leaved Maple; Box Elder.) This 
species is easily distinguished by its pinnate leaves 
and greenish yellow bark. It grows rapidly into a 
large, spreading tree, and is valuable for planting 
timber claims, shelter-belts, etc., in the West, 
where it endures both drought and cold. 6 to 8 
feet, each $1.00; 10 for $8.00. 
Platanoides. (Norway Maple.) M. A rapid grow¬ 
ing, broad-headed symmetrical tree with large, 
deep green leaves, that turn yellow in the Fall. For 
either lawn or street planting. The larger sizes 
offered below are suitable for immediate results. 
8 to 10 feet, each $2.00; 10 for $17.50. 
Schwedleri. (Schwedler Maple.) M. The new 
leaves are red or purplish, later turning to dark 
rich green. In open groupings with other trees 
it lends a note of color contrast. Valued also for 
specimen and avenue planting. 6 to 8 feet, each 
$2.25; 10 for $20.00. 
Saccharum. (Sugar or Rock Maple.) L. A splen¬ 
did shade tree for lawn, street or avenue planting.

when young, becoming broad and spreading with 
age. 8 to 10 feet, each $2.00; 10 for $17.50. 
Atropurpureum. (Redleaf Japanese Maple.) Red 
foliage particularly rich in Spring and Fall. For 
specimen planting or in combination with Ever¬ 
greens, supply limited. 15 to 18 in., each $2.00; 10 
for $17.50; 18-24 in., each $3.00. 
AESCULUS—HORSE-CHESTNUT

Horse-Chestnut.) A large tree of regular outline, 
spangled in May with great, upright spikes of 
white flowers. Has no superior as a specimen 
flowering tree. 6 to 8 feet, each $2.00; 10 for $17.50.

Horse-Chestnut.) A superb variety, with large
