MOUNTAIN ASH, EUROPEAN. A fine ornamental tree for the lawn. 
Almost without pruning, it forms a magnificent, fairly dense, welh 
shaped head, covered from midsummer until midwinter with large 
clusters of beautiful scarlet berries—a brilliant color for the landscape. 
4 to 5 ft. trees, 80c; 2 for ^1.50 
AMERICAN ELM (White Elm). The American White Elm is the 
most universally used of all our ornamental trees here in America. 
Does well in more places than any other tree. Exceedingly good for 
street planting, and where eventually a very large tree is desired. 
4 to 5 ft. trees, 50c; 3 for ^1.00 
LAKE CITY ELM. This is a selection made at Lake City, Minnesota, of 
a very fine specimen of the American White Elm, the greatest orna¬ 
mental 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. 
These trees need no trimming. We offer Lake City Elm in fine, 
straight. 5 to 6 ft. trees for ^1.25 each; 6 for ^5.00 
CHINESE ELM. A beautiful ornamental and windbreak tree that has 
taken the entire country by storm. The fastest growing tree that we 
know of. Will grow into a big tree within five or six years from 
planting. This tree is adapted to high, dry locations and in such 
places is one of our best trees. Adapted to lawn and boulevard plant¬ 
ing and also makes the fastest growing windbreak tree we know of. 
Especially fine for a farm windbreak. 
We have an immense stock of the finest Chinese Elm trees we have 
ever grown and where trees are wanted in 50, 100, and 1000 lots, we 
shall be pleased to submit rock bottom prices. Fine specimen trees.

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 
possible to shade the trunk and save the tree from sun-scald. 
Nice 5 to 6 ft. trees, each, ^2.50; pair, ^4.50 
RUSSIAN MULBERRY. Every one who loves birds and has the room 
should plant several Russian Mulberry trees. Several trees must be 
planted together so as to cross fertilize. The trees will then produce 
tremendous crops of fruit. The fruit from the Mulberry attracts the 
birds and keeps them from eating the strawberries, raspberries, and 
currants. 3 to 4 ft. trees, 5 for $1.00

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 underneath with silver. Often used 
to fill out as a corner or sentinel tree to a background, 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., $0.80 each; $1.50 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 universally used as an accent tree in orna¬ 
mental yard planting. We have a large stock in all the smaller sizes 
up to and including 8- to 10-ft. trees and because of this we are mak¬ 
ing unusually attractive prices.

immense spreading tree of great beauty. Valuable to grow in the 
windbreak and in waste pieces of rough land where it can be allowed 
to stand to produce lumber which is very valuable. Also very orna¬

to us from the Department of Agriculture at Washington. An up¬ 
right 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.

the most beautiful in that species. Splendid as a lawn tree, for plant¬ 
ing 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 beau¬ 
tiful in the winter because of its rich yellow bark, which makes it very 
conspicuous. Absolutely hardy here in Minnesota. 2-year trees.

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. 1 ft. trees, 25c each; 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 2 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. This tree is a native as far north as about Faribault and is 
perfectly hardy on the prairies of South Dakota.

THE OUTSTANDING ITEM IN OUR 
NURSERY THIS YEAR 
OAK, Scarlet- Oak. The Scarlet Oak (Quercus coccinea), is 
without exception the most brilliant of anything we ever had 
in our nursery in late fall. Three full weeks after our Red Oak 
foliage had lost its red color and had turned brown, our Scarlet 
Oaks were still a brilliant scarlet-red. This subject can be 
treated as a tree or as a shrub. As a tree it grows into a fine 
tree with wonderful brilliant fall foliage. But for the small lot 
owners it can be handled as a shrub and as such give the small 
garden a late fall color it otherwise cannot obtain. Simply keep 
the tree trimmed yearly in early spring down to from 3 to 6 
feet as desired.
