8 BAY STATE NURSERIES, INCORPORATED 

TREES for 
LAWN and STREET PLANTING 
The wealth of fine shade trees which is our 
heritage here in New England is something we 
too often take for granted: We are apt to 
forget that most of these old trees were planted 
by our forebears with careful thought for the 
future. We ourselves should be no less fore- 
sighted. 
Tall-growing trees add to the permanency 
of any home-grounds or neighborhood. The 
following varieties are hardy, trouble-free, and 
beautiful as they reach maturity. Ask for 
prices on large specimens. 
The Maples 
Norway Map te (Acer platanoides). Few trees 
can excel the Norway Maple as a lawn or 
avenue tree, where thick shade is desired. 
Broad, round growth, with bronzy-green leaves 
that take on rich fall coloring. It is a long- 
lived, rugged tree of moderately rapid growth. 
6 to 8 ft., $2.50 each; 8 to 10 ft., $3.50 each 
Rep or Swamp Mapte (Acer rubrum). This 
Maple grows into a big, spreading tree, and is 
especially good for wet spots although it 
grows successfully in high ground. Red flowers 
in spring; scarlet foliage in fall. 
6 to 8 ft., $2.25 each; 8 to 10 ft., $3.00 each 
Sucar or Rock MapLe (Acer saccharum). A 
native New England Maple of upright habit, 
“hardy as a rock” and a stately tree for home- 
grounds or street planting. Its deep green 
leaves turn brilliant yellow in the fall. 
6 to 8 ft., $2.50 each; 8 to 10 ft., $3.00 each 



Pin Oak 
Oaks 
Pin Oak (Quercus palustris). Rapid-growing 
but permanent, the Pin Oak is our choice of all 
the Oaks for ornamental use, either on the 
lawn or for street planting. It can be identified 
by its somewhat drooping, horizontal branches, 
pyramidal outline, and deeply-cut leaves that 
take on rich red tones in the fall. 
6 to 8 ft., $3.50 each; 8 to 10 ft., $4.50 
Rep Oak (Quercus rubra). Another rapid- 
growing Oak, making a shapely tree with heavy 
foliage that turns red in the fall. 
6 to 8 ft., $4.50; 8 to 10 ft., $6.00 each 
Willow 
NioBE WEEPING WILLOW (Salix niobe). A 
large-growing Willow with slender branches 
that droop to the ground as the tree reaches 
maturity. The branchlets are golden-green 
color; the whole effect is most graceful. 
6 to 8 ft., $2.50 each 
Linden 
EuROPEAN LinpEN (Tilia vulgaris). One of 
the finest shade trees. Leaves are small and 
deep green. The habit of growth is heavily 
branched and symmetrical. Its fragrant flowers 
in June are pleasing. 
8 to 10 ft., $4.00; 10 to 12 ft., $6.00 each
