Nursery Grown Native Trees 
Arbor Vitae 
_A_ pyramidal tree with its tiny branches and 
leaves growing in a vertical position. An extremely 
ornamental, evergreen, and very valuable tree, 
transplants readily, grows 50 to 60 feet high. Con- 
trary to the popular belief, this tree prefers marshy 
ground of Maine and Canada. 
Ash, American Mountain 
A tree of rather formal shape with a graceful, 
somewhat slender outline, seldom growing to a 
height of more than 30 or 40 feet. One of the 
most charming trees of our entire flora and one of 
the most popular for home grounds. It transplants 
readily and merits its high esteem by its beautiful, 
feathery foliage, delightful spring flowers and abun- 
dant, bright red fruit which appears in the summer 
or early autumn. Native of the mountainous 
regions from northern Georgia well up into Canada. 
Ash, White 
This rugged, stately tree is the most familiar 
among the Ash group in the eastern United States. 
It often grows to a height of 120 feet. Prefers the 
rich soil of lowlands or rich hillsides. It is an ex- 
tremely valuable tree in the landscape and is a dif- 
ficult tree to transplant after it has attained any 
size. 
Basswood 
Growing alone, the Basswood assumes a_ rather 
regular, somewhat pyramidal form with a beauti- 
fully domed crown, attaining a height frequently 
of 100 feet and a 3 to 4 foot diameter. It prefers 
moist, low lands. It grows daringly close to stream 
banks. It is always a tree of rare beauty and 
grace. Fragrant, yellow flowers blooming in mid- 
summer. Grows from Maine to central Alabama, 
westward to Oklahoma and North Dakota. 
Beech 
The Beech is magnificent with a tremendous, 
smooth-barked, gray trunk and huge wide-spreading 
branches, crowned with an_ artistically delicate 
tracery of twigs which form a regular shape and 
offers support for an extremely dense canopy of 
dark green leaves. It frequently grows to a height 
of over 100 feet with a straight trunk 3 to 4 feet 
in diameter. I+ prefers fertile, well-drained soil 
and has a mat of deep and widely spreading roots. 
It grows from Maine to Florida, westward to Texas 
and through part of Wisconsin.
