Phellodendron - Cork Tree 
Phellodendron amurense. Chinese Cork Tree. 
A handsome corky bark tree with spreading 
branches, compound leaves, and round top. 
Looks much like a Black Walnut but has 
dark berry-like fruit. Rapid grower, hardy, 
and unusual. Each 
6 to 7 ft.$3.00 
7 to 8 ft. 4.00 
Populus - Poplar 
Populus nigra italica. Lombardy Poplar. A tall, 
slender tree of rapid growth, reaching great 
height and not to be confused with Carolina 
Poplar. Specimens often reach 50 feet, with 
a spread of less than 10 feet, and for this 
reason when trees are needed for narrow 
places, between buildings, congested lawns, 
narrow avenues, Lombardy Poplar may be 
used to advantage. Because of its great 
height and quick growth it is recommended 
for backgrounds of buildings, to add char¬ 
acter to plantings or to offset straight or 
bare lines; for screening unsightly views, fire 
protection from close buildings, or wind¬ 
breaks—and for quick effects we recom¬ 
mend it.

Populus bolleana. Bolleana Poplar. Just because 
the Carolina Poplar is an enormous weed and 
nothing else, one should not discriminate 
against all the Poplar family. Bolleana Pop¬ 
lar has glittering green leaves, silvered un¬ 
derneath, and makes an attractive display 
against the sky when they are set in motion 
by a gentle breeze. The bark is gray, giving 
a pleasing winter effect. It is a fast grow¬ 
ing, slender, columnar tree, a little wider 
than Lombardy, which it resembles at a dis¬ 
tance and for which it should be used as a 
substitute.

Platanus - Sycamore 
Platanus occidentalis. A native Sycamore which 
is not appreciated. However, if you want a 
tree of rapid growth, rugged in character, 
picturesque in winter with its white bark, 
you should not overlook this grand old tree. 
Fine for woodland and paddocks. Tolerant 
of soot and smoke, and therefore, is much 
used as a street tree in cities.

Quercus - Oak 
The Oak, with all its majesty, is the monarch 
of the woodlands. It is symbolical of strength, 
permanency and character. It has been inter¬ 
woven, since time immemorial, with literature, 
art and craftsmanship. The family has world¬ 
wide distribution, containing many species, both 
evergreen and deciduous. Its timber is em¬ 
blematical of strength and durability. By some 
it is considered of slow growth, but when given 
a congenial soil, develops rather rapidly in com¬ 
parison with most hard-woods. When planted 
as specimen or street trees, varieties like Pin 
Oak, with their autumn coloring of yellow, 
orange and scarlet, are the source of enjoy¬ 
ment of he who plants, and elicits the admira¬ 
tion of the public. No lawn is complete with¬ 
out an Oak. 
Quercus alba. White Oak. One of the grandest 
of all the Oaks. Rather difficult to trans¬ 
plant and of slow growth, but "patience 
brings a perfect reward." Leaves silver to 
purplish red in autumn. 
Q. coccinea. Scarlet Oak. A beautiful sym¬ 
metrical tree very much resembling the Pin 
Oak. Not quite as rapid in growth, leaves 
somewhat smaller and deeply lobed. Colors 
brilliantly in the fall. 
Q. macrocarpa. Burr or Mossy-Cup Oak. A na¬ 
tive variety of slow growth, but becomes a 
stately tree well covered with thick, dark 
green foliage of heavy texture. For perma¬ 
nency it has no superior. Prefers a moist 
or deep soil. 
Q. nigra. Water Oak. A round-topped tree of 
good form. Will grow in either moist or dry 
soil. Foliage green until late fall. 
Q. palustris. Pin Oak. The most popular of all 
the Oaks. Its beautiful glossy, deeply lobed 
green leaves change to gorgeous shades of 
purplish red and scarlet in the autumn. It is 
symmetrical, easy to transplant and of rapid 
growth. For street, avenue or as a lawn 
specimen there is nothing superior. Where a 
desirable hardwood tree is wanted we unhesi¬ 
tatingly recommend a Pin Oak. 
Q. phellos. Willow Oak. A graceful tree with 
conical head. Long narrow willow-like leaves 
which are whitish beneath, giving a silvery 
appearance on a windy day. They change to 
yellow and orange in autumn. 
Q. rubra. Red Oak. Not as compact nor does 
it color as brilliantly as the Pin Oak. Some¬ 
what more difficult to transplant but will 
grow in almost any soil when once estab¬ 
lished. One of the fine Oaks.
