BIRCH, 
CUT-LEAVED 
WEEPING 
Not only the most 
popular of the 
weeping trees, but 
is indeed a pic- 
ture of delicacy 
and grace. Its tall 
slender yet vigor- 
ous growth, grace- 
ful branches, sil- 
very white bark 
and delicately cut 
foliage present a 
combination of 
attractive charac- 
teristics rarely 
met with in a single tree. Excellent for lawn and 
cemetery planting. 5 to 6 ft., $1.50 each. 
CATALPA BUNGEI (Umbrella Tree). Grafted on 
stems 4 to 7 feet high, makes an umbrella-shaped

glossy, deep green, heart-shaped. Very desirable 
tree. 2-yr., 6 ft., $1.00 each; 2 for $1.90.

head is dense and regular, covered in June with a 
mass of white flowers, later with yellow berries, 
which turn into bright scarlet and last long into 
winter; very beautiful. 5 to 6 ft., $1.50 each. 
LOMBARDY POPLAR (Populus nigra italica). In 
shape this is the exclamation mark among trees. Its 
towering spire has an individuality all its own. For 
tall screens and backgrounds, this tree is admirable. 
6 to 8 ft., 50c each. 
NIOBE WEEPING WILLOW. Much appreciated in 
landscape plantings because of its golden bark. No 
other tree affords so brilliant a color. Rapid grower.
