Hardy Ornamental and Shade Trees 
SUGAR MAPLE. 50 to 60 feet. A well known native 
tree. Its stately growth, fine foliage, and form, with 
its brilliant autumn coloring, make it desirable as a 
shade and ornamental tree. 
MOLINE ELM. A type of the American Elm that was 
found near Moline, Illinois. The tree is a very 
strong, compact, upright grower. Leaves are except 
tionally large, and form a dense shade. 
VASE ELM. Another type of the American Elm with 
broad top, tapering down in vase shape. 
CHINESE ELM. This variety is being planted largely 
in some of our western states. The claims made for it 
are that it is hardy, healthy, and a very rapid grower, 
rivaling the Poplar in that respect. 
Chinese Elm. (Four Years Old) 
Hedges & Screens i* 
FOR ORNAMENTAL HEDGES 
Spirea Van Houttei, Hydrangea pan' 
iculata grandiflora, Rosa rugosa, Amur 
Privet North, Thunberg’s Barberry and 
Lonicera Morrowi are being used quite 
extensively and with excellent satis' 
faction. For an evergreen hedge there 
is nothing better than Norway Spruce 
and Arbor'Vitae. 
FOR SCREENS 
To cut off unsightly views, etc., such 
shrubs as Tatarian Honeysuckle, Chi' 
nese Elm, Philadelphus grandiflora and 
common Lilac work in very nicely. 
These will attain a height of 8 to 10 
feet. Where a taller screen is desired, 
Laurehleaf Willow and evergreens may 
be used.

fairly rapid growth, forms a well rounded head, with 
large, deep green foliage.

purple, later changing to a dark rich green. Leaves 
on the new growth during the summer are bright

rapid growing tree. Suitable for either street or lawn 
planting. Foliage large; flowers borne in large clus' 
ters, are very fragrant.

has no superior for street planting or large lawns. Of 
large size, rapid growth, and widespread branches,
