Sweet Gum 
Hackberry 
Canada Hemlock 
Pig Nut Hickory 
Shagbark 
Gum, Sweet 
This magnificent tree grows to the height of 140 
feet with a trunk 4 to 5 feet in diameter, a hand¬ 
some, irregular-shaped crown, and star-shaped 
leaves which turn rich purple in autumn. It is 
often refused a place on the home grounds'because 
it is rather slow to get started and difficult to 
transplant when it has attained any size. It grows 
naturally in the lowlands and ranges from southern 
New York, southward through a large part of 
Florida, westward to the central part of Texas and 
Missouri. 
Hackberry 
The Hackberry, if permitted to grow in the open, 
will develop a handsome. Irregular crown, growing 
occasionally to 100 feet in height with a trunk 4 
feet in diameter. It has a wide distribution over 
a large part of the United States from New York 
throughout Florida and extending westward to Texas 
and thence northward throughout most of Oregon. 
It prefers rich, well-drained soil and in the proper 
location becomes a beautiful tree but Is stunted 
to almost shrub size when planted in an unfavorable 
location. 
Sweet Gum 
Hemlock, Canada 
This glorious tree is the most graceful of all ever¬ 
greens, growing to a height of 100 feet with a trunk 
sometimes 4 feet in diameter and ranges naturally 
from Canada throughout most of the New England 
States and along the Appalachian Regions into 
Georgia, westward, extending well over Michigan 
and Wisconsin. It transplants readily almost any 
size and is particularly desirable because it will 
grow in locations too shady for most other ever¬ 
green trees. 
Hemlock, Carolina 
A somewhat more compact and slightly more 
formal tree than the Canadian Hemlock. 
Hickory, Shagbark 
This magnificent, stately tree towers above its 
neighbors of the lowlands, growing to a height of 
100 feet with a straight trunk 2 or 3 feet in dia¬ 
meter. It is unmistakable because of its rough, 
gray, shaggy bark and prized because of its rich, 
meaty nuts. Ranges naturally along the mountain¬ 
ous regions from southern Maine to southern Geor¬ 
gia, westward to Oklahoma and North Dakota. It 
is valuable for Its magnificence as a shade tree and 
delicious fruit.
