Siaue and Ornamental Trees 
Should we be considered specialists in any 
one class of Ornamentals, it would be Shade 
and Ornamental Trees, which we grow in 
guantities and in a large assortment. Our 
deep, sandy loam soil grows an excellent 
fibrous root system. Our practice of frequent 
transplanting and root pruning also assists 
our trees in living when transplanted. 
In planning the home grounds it is little 
wonder that the first thought is usually about 
trees. They are the first essential, as the com- 
fort derived from their shade and protection 
alone makes them a necessity. And, at the 
same time, the intrinsic beauty of the tree 
gives it a value everyone appreciates. The 
home with beautiful trees is always the most 
charming and the most valuable possession. 
APPLE (Malus) 
The Apple is generally planted for its fruit, 
yet it makes a desirable Shade andOrnamental 
Tree, and its value for such purposes should 
not be overlooked. For ornamental purposes, 
plant Apples along with Dogwoods, Red Buds, 
Flowering Cherries, etc. 
ASH 
American White (Fraxinus americana). 
One of the easiest Shade Trees to grow, 
and one of our best selling varieties for 
homes. Easily transplanted and a good 
grower. Large, spreading, of fairly rapid 
growth ana not often attacked by pests. 
Very hardy. 
European Mountain (Sorbus aucuparia). 
A charming ornamental tree. Small, bluish 
green leaves, gray bark. Flowers freely 
with creamy white flowers in flat clusters, 
followed by bright scarlet-orange berries 
which endure for months. Used as a speci- 
men or accent in borders. Truly one of 
the most beautiful of all the berried trees. 
25-30 ft. See color illustration, page 31. 
BEECH (Fagus) 
American (Americana). A majestic, large 
tree of extreme hardiness with smooth, gray 
bark and a broad, compact, round-topped 
head; leaves oblong-ovate, coarsely ser- 
rate, dark green, turning bright yellow in 
Autumn. Not as extensively used as some 
of the faster growing trees, but for a per- 
manent, long-lived, beautiful tree, we rec- 
ommend our native American Beech. 
Purple (Sylvatica purpurea). One of the 
best purple-leaved trees grown. Slow 
grower and difficult to transplant. 
BIRCH (Betula) 
Cut-leaved Weeping (Alba pendula laci- 
niata). Usually rare in Eastern sections, 
but we now have a large and fine stock. An 
extremely graceful variety with pendulous 
branches and finely divided leaves. White 
bark. A splendid specimen tree. 30-40 ft. 
European White (Alba). A beautiful tree 
with white bark and with spreading and 
pendulous branches. Leaves deep green in 
Summer with tones of yellow in the Autumn. 
30-40 ft. 

Flowering Cherry 
(See page 31) 
CATALPA 
Bungei (Umbrella catalpa). A small, or- 
namental, umbrella-like tree. Used where 
space does not permit a larger Shade Tree. 
8-10 ft. 
ELM (Ulmus) 
American (Americana). America’s fav- 
orite Shade Tree. Grows 80-100 ft. high, 
with drooping, spreading branches. Ex- 
tensively used on city streets, as well as 
in parks, on highways, and home grounds. 
Easily transplanted; fast grower. A very 
satisfactory and beautiful tree. 
Chinese (Pumila). Graceful as the Birch, 
rapid growing as the Poplar, beautiful as 
the Marle. Introduced by the U. S. De- 
partment of Agriculture. A rapid grower 
with slender, almost wiry, branches. One 
of the first trees to leaf out in the Spring 
and the last to shed its foliage in the Fall. 
Extensively used as a Shade, Windbreak, 
and Avenue Tree. Apparently adapted to 
almost all kinds of clmates and _ soils. 
50-75 ft. 

Eleyi Flowering Crab 
FLOWERING CRABS (Malus) 
Up until the past few years too little atten- 
tion has been given Flowering Crabs, which 
offer a double reward with their numerous 
blossoms in early Spring, followed by fruit 
in Autumn. They, however, are now coming 
into their own and are finding prominent 
places in city parks, cemeteries, large and small 
estates, and are especially useful in roadside 
plantings along with Dogwood, Redbuds, 
Flowering Cherries, and other Small Flower- 
ing Trees. 
Eleyi. We consider this the most beautiful 
and most satisfactory of all Flowering 
Crabs, being a strong, vigorous grower. 
Produces masses of red bloom in early 
Spring, followed in Autumn with medium 
sized blood-red fruits. The foliage is also 
attractive, being blood-red in early Spring, 
resembling that of the Japanese Blood- 
leaved Maple. 15-18 ft. 
Hopa Red Flowering (Hoppi). Bright 
rose-red double flowers in profusion. Fruit 
red inside and out, making this new, very 
hardy variety extremely attractive. One 
of the best. 12-15 ft. 
Japanese (Floribunda). Bright pink buds 
and white open flowers which make a pleas- 
ing contrast. Small yellow fruit, turning 
to red when ripe, very much enjoyed by 
birds. 12-15 ft. 
Parkmani. Semi-double, bright rose flowers. 
Makes an odd-shaped tree, buc is most 
effective when used in groups with other 
varieties. 12-15 ft. 
Sargenti. An _ interesting shrubby habit 
makes this a most useful shrub or little tree 
for a small place. Hard to decide whether 
it 1s more attractive wien blanketed with 
sparkling white flowers or when the myriad 
glittering red berries, like fruits, are strung 
along the spreading branches, 
Virginia Sweet (Coronaria). Late pink 
buds and single, large, light pink blossoms 
appearing after most other varieties have 
disappeared. Always misses late frosts. 
Very fragrant. Golden yellow fruit. 15-20 ft.
