AMERICAN ELM 
Small and formal trees are very use- 
ful for narrow streets, groups, for- 
mal plantings, and other special 
places. The following are very de- 
sirable: 
European Mountain-Ash 
Lombardy Poplar 
Wheatley Elm 
Globe-headed Elm 
Laurel Willow 
Frequently an especially fine tree is 
wanted as an ornamental specimen 
on the lawn, or as a shade or a 
memorial tree. For this purpose se- 
lect specimens of most of the above 
mentioned are desirable, but in ad- 
dition there are trees which possess 
special features which make them 
worthy of consideration, and we 
mention a few of these: 
Schwedler Maple 
Wier Maple 
White Birch 
CutLeaved Weeping 
Birch 
Many trees have not only 
good foliage and form, but 
also very attractive flowers 
and fruit which give them 
additional value in the gar- 
den or park at various sea- 
sons, as for instance: 
Choke-Cherry 
Bird Cherry 
Magnolia 
Lindens 
Flowering Crabs in 
var. 
Hawthorns in var. 
Double-flowering 
Plums 
Redbud 
Mountain-Ash 
Horse-Chestnut 
Ohio Buckeye 
Western Catalpa 
American Plum 
Nanking Cherry 
[19] 

Others, again, have very attractive 
foliage as to form or color, or change 
to beautiful colors in the autumn, as 
the 
Honey Locust 
CutLeaved Birch 
Silver Linden 
Gingko 
Wier Maple 
Laurel Willow 
Ailanthus 
Schwedler Maple 
Sugar Maple 
Purple-Leaved Plum 
Drooping or weeping trees are some- 
times desirable for the lawn, or near 
groups of trees. Of these the follow- 
ing are good: 
Cut-Leaved Birch 
Babylon Weeping Willow 
Wier Maple 
Besides the attraction of foliage and 
flowers, there are trees whose color 
and bark give them an additional 
value as a winter feature in the gar- 
den or park, as: 
Birches 
Golden-Barked Willow 
Where a quick immediate effect is 
wanted, the following trees are rec- 
ommended: 
Ailanthus 
Lombardy Poplar 
Silver Maple 
Wier Silver Maple 
Chinese Elm
