Nursery Grown Native Trees 
Common Locust 
Sweetbay Magnolia 
Locust, Black or Common 
The Common Locust is also called the Yellow 
Locust and Black Locust. This irregularly rather 
high-headed tree with its rough-barked trunk rising 
to 70 or 80 feet comes originally from the Alle¬ 
gheny Mountain slopes between Pennsylvania and 
Georgia. Because of its fragrant blossoms and 
graceful foliage, it has attained a great popularity. 
Locust, Honey 
This noble monarch with its unusually erect crown 
grows 140 feet in height with a trunk sometimes 5 to 
6 feet in diameter. It inhabits the rich bottom 
lands from western New York to Alabama, west¬ 
ward to the extreme eastern part of Texas. It 
forms a magnificent shade tree and transplants 
readily when it is small. 
Magnolia, Glauca, Swamp or Sweetbay 
This is the daintiest and free growing of our 
Magnolias, rarely reaching a height of 60 feet 
with a trunk 2 feet in diameter. Grows naturally 
in the marshy grounds, swamps and bogs along the 
coastal region from southern Pennsylvania to the 
central part of Florida, extending westward through 
Louisiana into the eastern portion of Texas. 
Maple, Red 
Silver Maple 
This is one of our showiest trees, raising its irreg¬ 
ular, flaming crown to a height of 100 feet, fre¬ 
quently with a 3 foot trunk. The twigs are often 
very red as are its blossoms when they first appear 
in early spring, and the fall foliage turns to a 
bright scarlet. It prefers the bottom lands, but 
frequently wanders far up on the hillsides. Ranges 
over the entire eastern United States. 
Maple, Silver 
This beautiful, round-topped tree often reaches 
a height of 100 feet with a 3 to 4 foot trunk. It 
should never be used as a street tree, nor should it 
be planted close by residences, but it makes a very 
satisfactory and attractive tree when planted in an 
adjacent meadow or in a nearby swale. Grows 
best in rich lowlands and is distributed over prac¬ 
tically all the eastern United States as far south as 
Florida,
