WEST HILL NURSERIES—FREDONIA, NEW YORK 
DECIDUOUS SHADE TREES 
yO 
Ailanthus (Tree of Heaven). An extremely rapid grow- 
er; often growing 4 to 6 feet in a single season. The 
compound leaves give the effect of palm leaves. This 
effect is not only pleasing, but makes a dense growth, 
thus producing much shade even when trees are 
young. Grows anywhere, even on city lots exposed to 
gas and smoke. 6 to 8 feet, $1.50 each; 10 for $14.00. 
Catalpa Bungei (Umbrella Catalpa). Grafted on stems 
6 to 8 feet high, it makes a symmetrical, umbrella- 
shaped head without pruning. The leaves are large, 
heart-shaped, look like shingles on a roof. Hardy and 
succeeds everywhere. Very unique and desirable. 
6 to 8 feet, 1-year heads, each, $1.50. 
Catalpa Speciosa. A rapid-growing park, street or forest 
tree. Bears large, luxuriant, heart-shaped foliage and 
clusters of flowers similar to the horse-chestnut but 
larger. Ornamental as well as useful. Hardy. 6 to 8 
feet, each, 75c; 10 for $6.00. 
Cherries (Japanese Flowering), Kwanzan. Deep pink, 
double flowers. These beautiful trees are taking 
America by storm. Nothing can be more beautiful

spring. They are very hardy and blossom profusely 
every year. 4 to 5 feet, $1.50 each; 10 for $12.50.
