ly to a tall spire. Its leaves are glossy green, silvery 
beneath, creating a pleasing effect when stirred by the 
wind. 8-10 ft. $1.50; 10-12 ft. $2.00. 
POPULUS NIGRA ITALICA. (Lombardy Poplar). Often 
attains the heighth of 100 feet or more. Old trees that 
were well placed when planted are today outstanding 
landmarks. The leaves are a rich shiny green with the 
under side slightly lighter. A good tree for accent. 8-10 
ft. $1.00; 10-12 ft. $1.50. 
OAKS 
QUERCUS PALUSTRIS. (Pin Oak). Almost a_ perfect 
pyramid and described as half weeping when old as the 
lower branches often touch the ground. It grows faster 
and develops the oak characteristics earlier than the 
rest. Its leaves are a dark glossy green, finely divided 
and turn to an orange scarlet in the autumn. 1 4 in.

WEEPING WILLOW 
SALIX BABYLONICA. (Weeping Willow). Tall, up- 
right, massive in form, with its long, slender branches 
growing straight downward. Weeping Willow is always 
attractive. It is especially so in summer when the pen- 
dulous branches sway gently in the breezes, and the long, 
slender, lustrous green leaves show a bright silver reflex. 
Willows grow rapidly, will thrive in wet places and like 
to be near water, but do not mind being planted else- 
where, as they grow heartily in almost any location.

ELMS 
ULMUS AMERICANA. (American Elm). Most beauti- 
ful and stately of all our shade trees. Fast in growth

$1.75; 10-12 ft. $2.50. 
ULMUS PUMILA. (Chinese Elm). A type especially 
adapted to dry locations but does well under any nor- 
mal condition. In this section we consider it a partial 
dwarf because it grows so slow but it develops into 
a small compact tree. 8-10 ft. $2.00; 10-12 ft. $3.00. 
ULMUS VASEYI. (Vase Elm). A type developed 
from a single vase shaped elm. This variety is much
