Shade Trees 
Saccharum (Sugar Maple). The best of the Maples and the most popular. Large oval- 
headed tree. The foliage turns to beautiful red and yellow in the fall. Although 
a rather slow grower, it is a very desirable, showy shade tree. 
BETULA 
Nigra (Birch). Its silvery bark has a torn appearance of ragged, reddish brown. 
Though densely branched, it has a slender, graceful appearance. 
LOMBARDY POPLAR 
Tall, upright grower. Good for screens. 
MAGNOLIA 
Grandiflora (Southern Magnolia). Well known Magnolia tree of the South, with large, 
glossy evergreen leaves; immense white flowers. 
MIMOSA 
Graceful, rather low, spreading growth. Pinkish-red flowers in July. 
PECAN TREES 
We have recommended for several years that Pecan trees be used for shade. They are 
beautifully shaped and hold their foliage until cold weather. After the first 
freeze, they shed all their leaves in about two weeks, making it easy to keep the 
lawn clean around them for almost the entire year. 
QUERCUS 
Nigra (Water Oak). Handsome tree with round topped head. Leaves rather pear 
shaped. 
Phellos (Willow Oak). Broad, cone-shaped tree. Long, narrow, bright green leaves. 
The most popular Oak in this section. 
Virginiana (Live Oak). Slow growing, spreading evergreen. 
Virginiana Darlingtonia. A more upright form of evergreen oak. 
ULMUS 
Pumila (Chinese Elm). A very rapid growing tree with grayish bark. 
TEXAS UMBRELLA 
Medium to tall tree. Fine for lawns. 
WEEPING WILLOW 
Fine for wet spot. 
Roses 
We believe that rose bushes produced in our territory are superior to those 
shipped into it from any other section. We grow thousands of rose bushes each 
year. We believe that ours is the only nursery in this part of the country which 
grows all the roses it sells. 
We have been trying varieties for several years with a view to eliminating 
those which will not be successful in our trade area. All of the varieties we offer 
will do well if given proper attention. All of our bush roses are monthly bloom- 
ing, except Frau Karl Druschki and Paul Neyron. 
Abol. Full white blooms with faint blush tint; fragrant. 
Ariel. A large flower of orange-flame and yellow. Plants are healthy and vigorous, 
producing many attractive fragrant flowers. One of the best orange-colored Roses. 
We can plan and plant your home complete.
