JAPANESE 
FLOWERING CHERRY 
The avenues of Flowering Cherries bor- 
dering the drive along the Potomac Basin in 
Washington, D. C., have possibly given the 
Japanese Flowering Cherry more publicity 
than all the nursery catalogues. Flowering 
Cherries, in turn, have also given Washington 
much publicity and have brought thousands 
and thousands of visitors to Washington each 
year. Why not invite visitors to your garden 
and community by planting Flowering Cher- 
ries, as well as enjoy them yourself? See color 
illustration on page 30. 
Kwanzan. Large, double, deep pink flowers, 
almost red in bud, and bronze young growth 
coupled with its rapid growth, justify the 
highest rating to this good form. Best 
known and most extensively used of all the 
Flowering Cherries. 25 ft. 
Mt. Fuji. Double, pure white. Large wide- 
spreading tree, branched from near base of 
trunk. 
Yoshino. Strong growing, single, early pink 
which is prominent in the planting along the 
Washington, D. C., Potomac Basin. 25-30 ft. 
Weeping Cherry. A most beautiful and 
graceful tree covered with pink blossoms 
in early Spring. Used as specimens on the

branches slender tips, pendulous. 
Trees for lawn, park 
flowers. 75-90 ft. 
Little Leaf European (Cordata). Most popular of the European varieties, 
being more compact and a less vigorous grower than our native American.

MAPLE (Acer) 
Norway (Platanocides). It is true that the 
Norway Maple is not as rapid a grower as 
the Poplars, or even the Silver Maple, but 
it continues to be one of our most popular 
Shade Trees, especia!ly for the small home 
grounds and street planting. For a few 
years we were living too fast for this fav- 
orite tree and were planting more vigorous 
growing varieties. We could not grow 
enough Silver Maple and Chinese Elm, but 
again we are having more calls than ever 
for the Norway Maple. 450-60 ft. 
Scarlet (Rubrum). A well-loved native so 
noticeable in Spring, when the fiery red 
blossoms cover the branches, and again in 
Autumn, when the vivid scarlet dress is a 
high spot. 50-60 ft. 
Schwedler’s (Platanoides schwedleri). 
Leaves bright reddish purple in Spring, 
toning into a deep purplish green later in 
the season. A splendid lawn variety; has 
all the good qualities of the Norway and 
in addition the beautiful red foliage in 
early Spring. 40-60 ft. 
Silver (Dasycarpum). The most rapid 
grower and most generally planted of the 
Maples. Suitable for park, lawn, street, 
highway and driveway plantings. Adapted 
to most kinds of scil. 50-60 ft. 
Sugar (Saccharum). This is a universal 
favorite for lawn and street planting. It 
makes a very beautiful and compact 
growth, hence a good shade. 50-75 ft. 
OAK (Quercus) 
The Oaks are especially useful in parks 
where assortments of large trees are used in 
groups. Although Oaks have long been con- 
sidered handsome, symmetrical trees, many 
people have fought shy of them because of 
their seemingly slow development. In reality, 
the Oaks grow almost as rapidly as other 
deciduous trees. Plant Oaks for permanent 
trees. They grow 75-100 ft. 
Chestnut (Montana). Not as popular as 
the Pin Oak for street planting due to being 
a straggly grower, but is desirable for scat- 
tering about through the campus and 
in groups with other Oaks. 
Pin (Palustris). The Pin Oak is a compact 
symmetrical tree, and is a fast grower. One 
of the easiest Oaks transplanted. 
Red (Rubra). Long-lived. Rather slow 
grower, being used chiefly in parks and large 
estates. Desirable on account of Fall col- 
oring of foliage. ; 
Scarlet (Coccinea). A useful Shade Tree 
as well as it is noted for its striking Autumn 
colors. 
White (Alba). Most valuable as a Shade and 
Ornamental Tree when given space and 
time for development. Grows to a tremen- 
dous size and lives to be several hundred 
years old.

Albizzia rubra. A truly Pink Mimosa, differing from the well-known Mimosa 
only by its deep pink flowers, resembling the Pink Flowering Dogwood. 



PLANETREE (Platanus) 
American (Sycamore) (Occidentalis). Use- 
ful as a Shade Tree because of its hardiness, 
growing in almost any kind of soil and un- 
der most unfavorable conditions. <A rapid 
grower. 75-80 ft. 
Oriental (Orientalis). A large, massive tree 
with very wide, round-topped head. Native 
of India. Resembles our American Plane, 
but is less subject to blight and is more 
compact; bark white and scaly. 65-70 ft. 
POPLAR (Populus) 
Carolina (Eugenie). Useful where a quick- 
erowing temporary#Shade Tree is required. 
We recommend using as fillers for quick 
shade with slower growing, more permanent 
varieties. 70-75 ft. 
Lombardy (Nigra  italica). Tall, slim, 
formal—the most striking tree on the land- 
scape. It makes a perfect background tree, 
and its symmetrical, columnar shape brings 
out the rounded beauty of other trees and 
shrubs. 60-70 ft. 
Simon (Simoni). A very rapid-growing tree, 
but does not attain very large size. The 
attractive foliage is large and dark green; 
tree pyramidal in shape. Longer-lived than 
the Lombardy. 25-30 ft. 
SOURWOOD 
(Oxydendrum arboreum) 
Throughout the year a handsome tree with 
thick, shiny leaves that turn vivid scarlet in 
Fall and remain colored until Winter. The 
long branches of white Summer flowers are 
not to be overlooked and even the gray fruits 
are conspicuous. 25-30 ft. 
TULIP TREE 
(Liriodendron tulipifera) 
Also known as Tulip Poplar. A large and 
stately pyramidal, rapid growing tree. Flow- 
ers are cup-shaped, resembling a Tulip, green- 
ish yellow blotched with orange. 75-100 ft. 
WALNUT, American Black 
(Juglans nigra) 
While this famous old American tree is 
planted for its nuts, it is also planted for its 
shade. Differs from other trees in that blue 
grass flourishes under its branches. 40-50 ft. 
WEEPING WILLOW 
(Salix Babylonica) 
Most familiar and beautiful of all Willows 
and one of the finest of the drooping trees. 
Especially useful for planting near streams 
and pools. 50-60 ft. 
Mountain Ash 
(See page 30) 

Plant trees for beauty, comfort, and as a memorial to friends.
