Chestnut 
The magnificent American Chestnut is practically 
a thing of the past in eastern United States. 
Closely related hybrids, however, more immune to 
the Chestnut Blight are offered. 
Chestnut 
Coffee Tree 
This truly American tree is so outstandingly beau¬ 
tiful with its dainty foliage and rough, gray bark, 
one wonders why it is not more commonly used for 
ornamental planting. It grows 100 feet high with 
a trunk often 4 feet in diameter and offers high 
shade for lawns. It should be transplanted when 
small. The Coffee Tree ranges naturally through 
western New York, western Pennsylvania, West Vir¬ 
ginia, Tennessee, through most of Alabama and 
northward to southern Wisconsin. 
Crab-Apple, American 
This low, round-headed, decorative tree is gen¬ 
erally a favorite wherever it appears. It grows 
most naturally from Canada through western New 
York to Georgia, west to Arkansas and Iowa. It 
seldom grows to a height of more than 24 feet. 
Prefers rich, well-drained soil and grows in the 
woods where its light pink blossoms are beautifully 
set off against the background of the taller trees. 
Cucumber Tree 
This handsome, native American tree often 
reaches 90 feet in height with a trunk diameter 3 
to 4 feet and when growing in the open develops 
a most picturesquely rounded crown. It grows nat¬ 
urally along the mountainous slopes of the Alle¬ 
ghenies, westward to Mississippi and throughout 
most of Indiana. It is the hardiest of all Mag¬ 
nolias and cannot be recommended too highly for 
ornamental planting. 
Cypress^ Bald 
Dainty, feather-like foliage is the charm of this 
huge monarch of the southern swamps. It fre¬ 
quently grows 150 feet high with a trunk 10 feet 
in diameter. Actually grows in the water of marshes 
from Virginia to Florida, westward to southern 
Illinois.
