ELM - 
^AMERICAN - Sometimes called White Elm. 
A noble spreading and drooping tree, 
suitable for shade and excellent for 
streets and drives. 
♦CHINESE - It is especially adapted to 
dry plains. Should not be planted on 
low, wet land. 
It grows very rapidly, almost as 
fast as cottonwood. If let go, it 
limbs low and makes a splendid wind¬ 
break (and does it quickly). If it 
is trimmed and grown into a tree, it 
makes a suitable shade tree with 
slender, almost wiry branches. Where 
conditions of soil and moisture are 
unfavorable, it thrives on dry poor 
soils where few other trees do. It 
comes in leaf very early in spring 
and holds its foliage late in fall. 
MOLINE - Foliage similar to the American 
Elm, only somewhat larger. Bark is 
smooth and glossy. Trees grow more 
compact and upright. 
Propagated by grafting so all 
Moline are uniform in shape. In great 
as a street tree. Adapted to all of 
the plains except northwest Nebraska, 
Wyoming, and west and north parts of 
South Dakota. 
♦SHEYENNE - Is a graceful elm with a 
moderate top spread and attractivefb- 
llage. The original tree from which 
we secured our wood for grafting is 
growing in central North Dakota where 
it grew from seed. It has made a 
rapid growth and has withstood the 
North Dakota low temperatures and dry 
conditions without injury. Should be 
planted for shade and ornamental pur¬ 
poses in western Nebraska,Wyoming and 
the Dakotas. 
♦VASE - A particularly attractive vase 
type of American Elm, propagated by 
grafting, which results in all trees 
being of uniform habit of growth.They 
are hardy, 
♦ HACKBERRY — Resembles elm somewhat j 
foliage more pointed and a brighter 
glossy green; bark thick and rough; a 
symmetrical grower. Very hardy and 
drouth-resistant. 
LOCUST- 
♦HONEYLOCUST - This is very drouth-re - 
slstant and hardy well up into the 
Dakotas and Wyoming. It forms a tall 
round-topped tree of uncommon airi¬ 
ness because of its small leaflets. 
♦STEPHENS' THORNLESS - Another grafted 
shade and ornamental tree. The origi¬ 
nal tree, a native on the farm of the 
late Congressman Dan. V, Stephens, 
northwest of Arlington. Is a fine 
type and free of thorns. Our young 
stock in the nursery is straight and 
symmetrical. Grows fast. 
This selected grafted variety,minus 
thorns, should be used for shade and 
ornamental purposes throughout the 
West. 
LINDEN —- 
♦AMERICAN - A rapid-growing,large-sized 
tree,with a remarkably straighttrunk; 
deep green heart-shaped leaves, and 
clusters of fragrant yellow flowers. 
Is splendid for lawn and street 
planting. It has gone through the 
drouth years with very little Injury 
and has proven itself to be one of 
the hardiest ornamental trees for the 
West. Is resistant to storms. 
♦ORD - Our stock of grafted Ord Linden 
originated at Ord, Nebraska, where 
there is a particularly fine type of 
American Linden growing which has 
withstood the extreme drouth period 
with no ill effects. It has likewise 
endured the low temperatures of this 
section for many years. The selected 
Ord variety has all the virtues of 
the American Linden and further,every 
tree is Just like its selected parent. 
MAPLE - 
SILVER - Should not be confused with 
Silver Poplar. This is our common 
soft Maple. Rapid grower. 
BLAIR - A type of the common Maple per¬ 
petuated by budding. More upright 
habit of growth with shorter,stronger 
limbs, and less subject to storm 
injury. Original tree growing at 
Blair, Nebraska. 
SCHWEDLER - The Schwedler Maple's beau¬ 
tiful leaves attract attention at all 
seasons, but are especially fine in 
spring when their gleaming red and 
purple leaves contrast brightly with 
the delicate green of other trees. In 
midsummer they are purplish green, in 
autumn, golden yellow. 
SUGAR - Hard Maple, Iowa type. A beau¬ 
tiful, stately tree.A desirable shade 
tree where it does well. Fall color¬ 
ing of leaves is gorgeous. Hardy in 
eastern Nebraska, - east and south. 
♦ MOUNTAIN ASH- EUROPEAN - It is orna¬ 
mental all through the season. Its 
compound pinnate foliage is soft 
and handsome in appearance and of a 
fine shade of green. Large flat heads 
of pure white flowers in June, fol¬
