Punctata (Dotted Hawthorn). Height 25 to 30 feet. Broad headed, 
small tree. Interesting large white flowers in May. Dull red, spotted 
fruit in October. 
ELM — Ulmus 
American White. Height 60 to 100 feet. Tall, graceful, wide- 
spreading. Probably the most popular tree for street and general plant- 
ing. 
Chinese (Pumila). Height 40 to 50 feet. This tree came to us from 
Siberia and has made a considerable progress in popularity these recent 
years. Very rapid grower, very drought resistant. Slender branches, 
compact habit, small leaves. We do not recommend the use of this 
tree in competition with the American White Elm. If used, however, 
with discretion, it is a valuable addition to our trees in the Northwest. 
Lake City. Height 60 to 100 feet. A variety of the American White 
Elm discovered at Lake City, Minnesota, and introduced by this firm. 
Budded on American seedling root. Particularly valuable for boulevard 
planting because of its somewhat fastigiate growth. More drought and 
disease resistant than its parent tree, the American Elm, and its large, 
dark green foliage, or leaves, enhance, we believe, its value over its 
parent tree. Ask for our special folder on this tree. 
Moline. Height 60 to 100 feet. A tree that came to us from Moline, 
Illinois. Its habit of growth is somewhat fan shaped. It is a splendid 
tree, but has not proved quite as hardy up north as some of the other 
American varieties. Budded on American seedling roots. 
FLOWERING CRABS — Malus 
Probably no group of medium-sized trees in the Northwest is more 
popular and more valuable for ornamental planting then the Malus. 
During the flowering season of the native Crabs, people from other 
states come into Minnesota and Wisconsin to watch the beautiful sight 
of the native Malus flowering on the hillsides of the Mississippi. Out of 
these native varieties several sports and hybrids of considerable value 
have been developed. 
Atropurpurea. Height 15 to 20 feet. Purple leaf with purplish 
flowers. 
Bechtels. Height 12 to 15 feet. Beautiful double pink flowers, 
fragrant, in May and June. This variety is probably the most popular 
of the group. 
Coronarius (Wild Sweet Crab). Height 25 to 30 feet. Pink flowers 
delightfully fragrant. 
Dolgo (Double Purple Crab). Height 20 to 25 feet. Rather erect- 
growing tree with pinkish flowers followed by a highly colored, red fruit 
in the fall. Valuable for canning. The trees are also used extensively
