ASH, American. This splendid tree is becoming recognised as one of 
our best shade trees and is being more extensively planted each year. It is 
clean, symmetrical, drought resistant, and long lived. For shade or for boule¬ 
vard planting American Ash will please you. 
BIRCH, Weeping Cut-Leaf. Admired for its delicately cut foliage and 
silvery white bark and graceful drooping branches. Best in moist locations. 
BIRCH, Canoe, White or Paper. A graceful tree with slender branches and 
silvery white bark. Especially effective when planted in clumps among or near 
evergreens. 
ELM, Chinese. "Hardy Siberian Strain.” A beautiful ornamental and 
windbreak tree that has taken the entire country by storm. The fastest growing 
tree that we know of. Will grow into a big tree within five or six years 
from planting. This tree is adapted to high, dry locations and in such places 
is one of our best trees. Adapted to lawn planting for quick effect. Also 
makes the fastest growing windbreak tree we know of. One of the finest for 
a farm windbreak. 
ELM, American. The American White Elm is the grandest, most permanent 
and universally used ornamental tree in America. It does well in almost any 
location. Exceedingly good for boulevard planting or as a shade tree where 
you want a permanent tree. 
HACKBERRY. Hackberry is one of the fine trees for shade or boulevard 
planting. It grows quite rapidly, to a uniform shape. It is extremely hardy 
and develops strong crotches. An interesting tree as a specimen or in a back¬ 
ground planting. 
LOCUST, HONEY (Thornless). The Honey Locust is a fast growing, 
highly ornamental tree with distinctive lacy, light green foliage that turns a 
clear yellow in the fall. The greenish flowers are somewhat hidden by the 
foliage, but in the fall the large flat pods are very ornamental. 
MAPLE, Hard or Sugar. This is one of the most beautiful of shade or 
boulevard trees. It is stately in all seasons, but truly gorgeous in fall when 
its dense leaves are brilliant yellow, orange and scarlet. For beauty and 
permanence Hard Maple cannot be surpassed. 
MAPLE, Silver or Soft. A good appearance and rapid growth make this 
tree very popular where an immediate effect is required. 
MAPLE, Norway. Well liked for its pleasing and familiar symmetrical 
dome-shaped head. Its dense leaves are rich green in color and hold on the 
tree fully two weeks longer in the fall than those of other Maples. One of 
the best for lawn or boulevard planting where good form and shade are needed. 
MOUNTAIN ASH. Its symmetrical, round head makes it ideal for speci¬ 
men plantng. A still more attractive feature is the white flowers that are 
followed bv clusters of orange berries. Will do well on almost any soil. 
POPLAR, Bolleana. This rapid growing, tall, slender tree is used when 
accent trees are needed. The leaves are shimmering rich green and show their 
whitish under sides when turned by the breezes. The bark is grey-green and 
shows up well in winter. 
POPLAR, Lombardy. Well liked wherever it is grown. Is one of the most 
picturesque as well as one of the most useful trees to be found. It is effec¬ 
tively planted as accent in garden, foundation plantings, and shrub borders, 
and as a hedge, or along drives and boundaries. Its branches grow close to¬ 
gether and upright from the straight trunk and form a tall, slim column, tapering 
slightly to a pointed top. It is rapid growing and hardy. 
POPLAR, Norway. A fast growing tree of conical shape with large leaves 
that make a rippling sound 
when blown by the wind. 
Outstanding as a filler tree 
but not as permanent as 
others. 
WALNUT, Black. A 
majestic native tree of 
large size and most valu¬ 
able for its timber, choice 
nuts and shade. Excellent 
as a specimen for lawn 
planting.

Weeping. Splendid as a 
lawn tree, for planting 
near pools, or along banks 
and streams. Graceful, 
with golden bark. Hardi¬ 
est of all Weeping Wil¬ 
lows.

SCHWEDLER MAPLE. The fine characteristics that make 
the Schwedler Maple a popular favorite are its adaptability to 
city conditions, its spreading branches forming a round head, 
and its beautiful foliage. Similar in form and habit of 
growth to the Norway Maple, it is distinguished by its purplish 
crimson leaves that change to bronze-green in late summer. 
They are most attractive planted as lawn and street specimens.
