when young but as it attains height and age its long, drooping 
silvery branches make it the most effective of all the Willows.

mens or screens. Best of the Weeping Willows.

and perfectly at home here. Will grow in dry or wet soil and blends well 
in either deciduous or evergreen plantings. The light green foliage is 
needle-like and the general shape of the tree resembles a spruce. Con¬ 
sidered slow growing, but very symmetrical and as durable as an oak, 
in fact the lumber is called the "wood eternal." Each

Tilia - Linden 
Tilia americana. American Linden. Sometimes known as Basswood. This 
native tree is very attractive and will grow rapidly when planted in low 
ground. The leaves are distinctly larger than other varieties. Branches 
pendulous in habit of growth. Makes an excellent shade tree under favor¬ 
able conditions. Each

Ulmus - Elm 
Ulmus americana. American Elm. A vigorous native tree. It is rapid in 
growth, with long, spreading, and pendent branches forming giant arches 
over roads and streets; as a lawn tree is quick to make a marked effect. 
The wood is tough, the leaves are moderate in size, and make a perma¬ 
nent tree for shade. The beetle that defoliates the European Elms usually 
avoids these. Each Five

U. americana moline. Moline Elm. We graft this type because its singular 
upright characteristics make it invaluable in narrow spaces. Its clean 
growth, large, deep green, heavily plaited leaves, added to its sturdiness 
and solidity, will make it increasingly popular when it becomes known. 
We have a fine stock and invite your inspection. Each Five 
7 to 9 ft., H/ 4 in. cal.$2.00 $ 9.00

U. pumila. Chinese Elm. A new, rapid-growing tree that does especially 
well in difficult situations, like city soot and gases, dry and poor ground, 
narrow street plots, etc. Leaves smaller than our native Elm, habit more 
pendent, and of course, much more rapid. Only drawback possible is 
sleet damage and Elm-beetle injury. Plant for twenty to thirty years' 
duration. We have the North China strain only and it will make up as 
quickly as a willow. Each Five
