Wherever you find them, there is a charm about shade trees 
with their great, sheltering, shielding, leafy arms that spread 
in protection. Their foliage is deeper than the greenest ivy, 
and,in the beauty of its passing, the scarlet of kings, as well 
as the purple of dignitaries might well blush.

Marshalls have an improved line of shade and ornamental 
trees. We are constantly looking for trees having desirable 
qualities of form, limb structiire, foliage and hardiness. Oc¬ 
casionally an outstanding tree is found among native trees or on home grounds. 
Grafting wood is then taken and a stock built up. Grafting fully perpetuates the 
same characteristics and qualities of the original tree. Our stock is constantly 
being improved by this practice. 
For varieties adapted to the severe conditions of the Northwest, we select 
the best trees growing in and withstanding the rigorous weather conditions of 
this section. These varieties are superior in make-up and super-hardy. Grafted 
varieties of known character and hardiness are much superior to stock grown from 
seed which invariably does not follow true to the character and hardiness of the 
parent tree. 
PLANTING SUGGESTIONS - Plan to plant permanent trees 40 feet apart and those 
not so robust, at 30 feet. Where quick-growing trees are interplanted, 20 or 25 
feet is suggested. (*) indicates most hardy kinds. 
♦ ASH—GREEN - A medium grower and valu¬ 
able for planting in the streets or 
in parks. Does well for windbreak. 
BIRCH- 
♦CUTLEAF WEEPING - An elegant, erect 
tree with slender drooping branches 
and fine cut leaves. White bark. Very 
popular. Hardy into Wyoming and South 
Dakota. 
WHITE- Tree of moderately quick growth, 
bark almost white, erect-growing with 
terminal branches slightly drooping. 
Native of moist places, but will do 
well when planted on dry ground. Con¬ 
trasted with evergreens, it makes a 
valuable tree for the lawn. 
CRAB-FIX)WERINC - 
The landscape and ornamental value 
of the flowering crab tree is not 
generally appreciated. As a specimen 
tree or planted in the border for 
height and background, the crab is 
superb. The varieties listed below 
give a range of color and their 
blossoming period produces a wonder¬ 
ful show of color. Very hardy. 
BECHTEL - Double flowering crab. Large, 
pink,double, highly fragrant flowers. 
Green fruit. Height 10 to 20 ft. 
♦CARMINE - A low spreading tree,as wide 
as high. Carmine flowers produced be¬ 
fore the foliage. 
♦DOLGO - Hansen variety. Brilliant 
fruit. Large white blossoms. 
♦ELEY - Attractive reddish foliage in 
spring, changing to pink. Single pink 
flowers followed by showy red fruit. 
♦HOPA - A Prof. N.E. Hansen variety.New 
flowering crab with good foliage, red 
bud, with beautiful rose-colored 
blossoms. The color of the leaves and 
bark liven up the landscape and give 
it a cheerful aspect throughout the 
year,the foliage for summer color and 
the reddish-colored bark for winter 
scenery. Becoming a favorite in the 
West and North. Plant with tall grow¬ 
ing shrubs or as a specimen tree. 
Height 15 to 20 feet. Very hardy.
