Norway Maple for Long Life 
SHADE TREES 
Maples 
NORWAY. This is an exceptionally fine, hardy, large-leaved shade 
tree. Noted for its resistance to disease and for its long life. 
Nice, heavy-rooted trees, 6 to 8 ft. tall, only $1.50 each; 5 for 
$6.00. 
SCHWEDLER’S RED MAPLE. Noted for its beautiful foliage. Comes 
out a rich ruby-red in spring, gradually changes to purplish green, 
then in fall colors to bright shades of red and purple. Habit of 
growth similar to Norway. One of the finest Maples for shade. 
6- to 8-ft. trees, $2.00 each; 5 for $8.00. 
SILVER MAPLE. The fastest growing of the Maples. Much used 
for street planting because they make a good, quick shade. Foli- 
age of a light green, silvery on the under side and slightly cut- 
leaved. Color beautifully in the fall. Not as long lived as the 
Norway or Schwedler’s Maples, but will grow quickly and provide 
good shade for the ordinary lifetime. Nice, 6- to 8-ft. trees, 
$1.00 each; 5 for $4.00. 
Fern-Leaved Weeping Maple 
A beautiful tree with fern- or thread-like leaves. Its 
heavy foliage and many drooping branches make it most 
attractive for an ornamental shade tree. Grows very fast 
and is exceptionally hardy. Anyone seeking something 
rare and different for a shade tree should plant one of 
these unusual Maples. Nice, straight, 4- to 5-ft. trees, 
only $1.00 each. 6- to 8-ft. trees, $2.00 each. 
Weeping Willow 
The well-known graceful Weeping Willow whose long 
drooping branches, densely covered with fresh green 
leaves, make it one of the best loved trees. Very rapid 
grower. 5- to 6-ft. trees, $1.00 each; 3 for $2.50. 
The Graceful Weeping Willow 


Fern-Leaved Weeping Maple—One of the Most 
Beautiful of the Ornamental Shades 
Sycamore 
The tree of song and poetry. Beloved for its large leaves, 
erect growth and the patchy white bark as tree ages. A beau- 
tiful native tree and one which should be more widely planted. 
Heavy rooted, 6- to 8 ft., well-branched trees, $1.50 each; 
3 for $4.00, by Express. 
Dear Mr. Krider | Altoona, Pa. October 14, 1940 
The initial season for my home has practically passed, and I know that 
you will be interested in knowing that the 2000 or so separate plants and 
shrubs which you shipped to me last spring have come through without 
a single catastrophe. 
You will remember that we had a rather late spring and when I tell 
you that ail of the shrubs and perennials, as well as the more tender 
plants, such as strawberries, raspberries, rhubarb and asparagus, were 
planted in a blinding snowstrom with the soil as heavy and cold and wet 
as it possibly could be without being frozen, it certainly speaks very well, 
indeed, for the excellence and hardiness of your stock. Also, the original 
shipment was held for about a week while I was hoping that the snow 
flurries would stop and warmer spring weather arrive. In other words, I 
do not suppose you ever had one shipment from your nurseries that 
started out with more handicaps of weather and untried virgin soil which 
came through any more successfully than mine. Ry Mee. 
WRITE FOR SPECIAL PRICES On Large Quantities for 
Cemeteries, Parks, Playgrounds, etc. Remember Krider stock 
must be satisfactory. See page 3.
