Nursery Grown Native Trees 
Hickory, Big Shell Bark or King Nut 
The Big Shell Bark Hickory or King Nut Hickory 
is the largest of all Hickories and has by far the 
largest and most valuable nut. It grows naturally 
from central Pennsylvania to Tennessee throughout 
the mountainous section and westward through 
Missouri and part of Kansas. 
Holly, American or Christmas 
This magnificent tree with its irregular, pyramidal 
head attains a height of from 40 to 50 feet. It 
has distinct male and female plants and dark green 
leaves enriched with bright red berries. It can be 
transplanted in early spring or late fall and can be 
moved almost any size. It grows naturally along 
the coast from southern Massachusetts to Florida, 
from North Carolina to Texas, thence to southern 
Illinois. It prefers moist to wet woods, usually 
slightly acid soil. American Holly 

Hornbeam or Blue Beech 
This decoratively low tree with its smooth-barked, sal 
bluish-gray trunk, seldom grows taller than 30 to oy 
35 feet. It prefers the wet lowlands through New 
York State to Florida, westward to Texas and Mis- 
souri. It does not transplant very easily but is such 
a handsome tree, it should be used for landscape 
effects. 
JOS Hornbeam, Hop 
This unusual and sedately handsome tree de- oe ed 
velops a symmetrical crown. Leaves and branching E: aay = 
system, rough bark, and gray trunk are strangely Fis 
similar to tha Elm. It attains a height of 60 to 70 Ze 
feet. Prefers the deep, rich soil of well-drained 
slopes. It transplants easily when small and should 
be used much more frequently. 
Hop Hornbeam Larch or Tamarack 



This erect, pyramidal tree is one of the few 
familiar cone-bearing trees which loses its leaves 
during the winter, but this only makes the new 
growth seem fresher and daintier as it appears in 
the spring. It reaches 60 feet in height. It pre- 
fers the swamps and moister ground and is native 
to most of Canada, the New England States, New 
York, central and western Pennsylvania, and the 
Great Lake Region. It transplants readily almost 
any size and in the open is to be greatly preferred 
to some of the imported substitutes.
