Deciduous Trees 
*BETULA alba fastigiata, PYRAMIDAL WHITE BIRCH, (2). A variety of European White 
Birch which grows in narrow columnar form after the style of Lombardy Poplar. Has the same 
wns Rye trunk as the type and noticeably deeper green leaves. 5-6 ft. $1.50, 4-5 ft. $1.25, 
~4 ft. UO, 
BETULA pendula gracilis, CUTLEAF WEEPING BIRCH, (5). Some think this tree is a little 
too inclined to stand on its dignity and be formal. True, the trunk is very erect and primary 
branches ascending, but the long cord-like secondary branches droop most pleasingly and the 
snow white bark is attractive in summer and winter. It is quite fashionable to plant this as well 
as the European White Birch in groups of three and of course nurserymen haven't the slightest 
objection to this practice! 12-14 ft. $3.50, 10-12 ft. $3.00, 9-10 ft. $2.50, 8-9 ft. $2.25, 7-8 ft. $2.00, 
6-7 ft, $1.75, 5-6 ft. $1.50, 4-5 ft. $1.25, 3-4 ft. $1.00. 
CRATAEGUS, THORN OR HAWTHORN. 
*C. mexicana var. MEXICAN EDIBLE HAWTHORN, (7). The species, also known 
as C. pubescens, is one of the parents of the beautiful red-fruited hybrid C. carrierei 
(C. lavallei). However the type is yellow fruited. By selection in Mexico some fine 
edible, large fruited varieties have been developed. Trees offered have been grafted 
from imported wood.and will start bearing very young. They are highly orna- 
mental as foliage is fully or nearly evergreen (according to climate) and the large 
yellow fruit or berries are freely yielded. 4-5 ft. $1.50, 3-4 ft. $1.25, 2-3 ft. $1.00. 
The following group are all desirable for their fine fruit or berries. 
Others will be found in Part II. 
*C. coccinioides, (5). The red berries are among the largest of the native species. 
Round headed tree of medium size. Very productive. 6-8 ft. $2.00, 5-6 ft. $1.50. 
*C. colorata, (57). Produces large white flowers in broad clusters followed by red ber- 
ries. Blooms and bears very young. 5-6 ft. $1.50, 4-5 ft. $1.25. 
*C. macracantha, SPIKE HAWTHORN, (4). Small bushy tree or large shrub. Flow- 
ers freely and bears an abundance of deep glossy red berries. Handsome even in win- 
ter as bark on two year wood is gray and on one year wood rich glossy brown giving 
a very pleasing effect. 4-5 ft. $1.25, 3-4 ft. $1.00. 
*C. punctata, DOTTED HAWTHORN, (4). This hardy tree will rank among the 
best of our native Thorns. Growth is wide spreading; flowers in extreme profusion and 
bears a heavy crop of dotted red berries nearly an inch through. In all quite a tree! 
8-10 ft. $2.50, 6-8 ft. $2.00, 5-6 ft. $1.50. 
*C, venustula, (5?). We have no outside information on this species. With us it is a 
heavy bloomer even when very young and sets a fine crop of large red berries by 
August. 6-8 ft. $2.00, 5-6 ft. $1.50. 
*C. wattiana, (5). A Chinese species with rather large bright green leaves. Flowers 
are white and berries bright yellow. Highly regarded in England. With us it is the 
first Thorn to bloom in the spring. 8-10 ft. $2.50, 6-8 ft. $2.00. 
FRAXINUS velutina glabra, MODESTO ASH, (7). Here is a very fine new shade and street 
tree. All stock traces back to an individual tree in the city park at Modesto, Calif. It grows vig- 
orously, has glossy foliage to which dust does not adhere and never sets any seed pods. Is rap- 
SRL s TRON popular particularly for dry, hot regions. 8-10 ft. $2.00, 6-8 ft. $1.50, 5-6 ft. 
1.25, 4-5 ft. $1.00.
