BIRCH 
This is a small family of trees with a grace and charm all its 
own. Mostly used as lawn specimens or in effective positions 
upon the grounds; they are also splendid mingled with other 
varieties in an open woodland, and the light-barked kinds are 
beautiful grouped at the edge of a thicket or forest. 
The Birches are among the groups that transplant with great- 
est difficulty. While we exercise every care in handling them, 
we sell them at the purchaser’s risk. Careful watering after 
planting usually helps them to succeed.

BIG TREES 
You Don’t Have to Wait Years for Shade and Beauty 
In many varieties we have larger specimens than those listed in 
this book. We can supply shade trees frequently up to 8 inches in 
caliper, and 25 to 30 or more feet in height. Let us quote on your 
requirements. 

ELM 
American Elm. Ulmus americana. 120 ft. (Lr.) The most beautiful of 
the Elms, and the glory of our old New England towns. It is lofty 
and spreading, with drooping branches and is very hardy. At 
maturity it attains great character and individual beauty.

Chinese or Siberian Elm. Ulmus pumila. 60 ft. (Lr.) A handsome large 
tree comparable to the American Elm in size and beauty, but sur- 
passing it in its extremely rapid growth. It is just the thing for plant- 
ing on a new place, for within the time it takes an ordinary tree 
to establish itself, the Chinese Elm matures into a large tree.

English Elm. Ulmus campestris. 100 ft. (Lm.) A round-topped and

HONEY LOCUST 
Common Honey Locust. Gleditsia triacanthos. 80 ft. (Ly.) A fast 
growing tree with compound, much-divided foliage, and fragrant, 
pealike flowers. It can be used as a thorny, impenetrable hedge or 
allowed to grow into a splendid specimen tree of moderate size and 
irregular habit. It will thrive along the ocean in defiance of spray 
and gales, and seems to enjoy the rough, barren, sandy soil of Cape 
Cod and similar localities. We can highly recommend it for both 
beauty and endurance under the most difficult growing conditions.

KATSURA 
Katsura Tree. Cercidiphyllum japonicum. 50 ft. (Mr.) A hardy orna- 
mental tree of pyramidal form that has been little known, but is 
gradually becoming appreciated. It has heart-shaped, unpointed 
leaves, pink when unfolding, rich medium green in summer and 
brilliant shades of red in fall. An excellent screen tree in restricted 
areas; superior for this purpose to Poplars and Willows, but slower 
growing. Each Each
