For Shade 
and Beauty 
W HEN hot summer sun beats down, you long 
for the welcome shade of a Maple, an Oak, 
or a broad-spreading Elm. But to have and 
enjoy such shade and shelter, you must plan ahead. 
The trees must be planted in fall or spring when 
the weather is cool. Then the roots take hold, the 
tree flourishes, and in a surprisingly few seasons 
the outspreading branches give the protection you 
desire. 
We can supply—at very low prices—large trees 
that will give immediate effect, as well as smaller 
specimens from 6 to 15 feet high, which need a 
little more time to develop after moving to your 
place. Our trees are well grown, root pruned, and 
transplanted several times; they are truly Hillen- 
meyer standard. 
Moving a Maple in Full Leaf July 9th 
We are equipped to transplant large trees, 20 to 40 feet, and while best done in the 
dormant period, we often move in full leaf. If interested in saving 10 to 20 years, and getting 
immediate effect, consult us.

But only God can make a tree.”

Acer - Maple 
Acer dasycarpum. Silver or Water Maple. Be¬ 
cause of its quick growth and good foliage, 
this tree is in great demand. The leaves 
appear early in spring, are light green on 
the upper side, silvery beneath, and remain 
until late fall. Small flowers open before the 
leaves appear. For planting as temporary 
trees — that is, alternating between the 
hard-wooded and slower growers, such as 
oaks, elms, sugar maples, gums, etc.—the 
Silver Maple is highly recommended.

A. platonoides. Norway Maple. Resembles the 
Sugar Maple in character but with darker 
and larger foliage, round and spreading in 
habit of growth. It is really the European 
Hard Maple and retains this character here. 
For lawn specimens or shade to plant on 
streets, in parks, cemeteries, avenues, or 
arching over roadways, this tree is highly 
recommended. Sometimes the trunks are 
slightly crooked when young, but they over¬ 
come this unsightliness in a few years when 
planted in the open. 
A. platonoides schwedleri. Schwedler's Maple. 
Similar to the Norway Maple, except in early 
spring the foliage is a bright purple, chang¬ 
ing to bronze and then to dull green. In 
the fall it turns bronze before defoliating. 
A. rubrum. Red Maple. A native tree which is 
not appreciated and one of the most attrac¬ 
tive as a lawn specimen. The young shoots 
are bright red in winter. Flowers red, appear¬ 
ing before the leaves, which in fall vie with 
the oaks, sassafras, gum, sumac, or sugar 
maples for magnificence in color. 
A. sacchcrum. Sugar Maple. Known everywhere 
and extremely popular. The tree grows to 
great size, erect, conical form, is perfectly 
hardy, withstands any sub-normal weather 
conditions, and is adaptable to nearly all 
types of soil. The tree yields valuable timber, 
as well as maple sugar. Foliage is deep green, 
turning in fall to indescribable colors.
