Ornamental Trees

for windbreak and grove planting in Minnesota and states West. We 
carry windbreak sizes only. 100 500 1000

BASSWOOD (American Linden). One of the most beautiful trees. 
Grows into a great tall pyramidal tree with very large roundish leaves 
and is covered with yellow bloom at flowering time. It is from the 
Basswood bloom that our finest white honey comes. 5 to 6 ft., $1.25 
BIRCH, Cut-Leaf Weeping. We have always considered this one of the 
most graceful as well as among the most beautiful of all the orna- 
mental trees of the weeping type. It seems to fit in anywhere it is 
planted, and after it is once established its owner seems to love it as 
no other tree. A beautiful upright growing tree with long, slender, 
gracefully weeping branches. The leaves are delicately cut, the bark 
a brownish green at first, gradually turning to a pure glistening white. 
Nice 5 to 6 ft. trees, $2.25 each; $4.00 per pair 
ELM, Chinese. The Chinese Elm is a beautiful ornamental and wind- 
break tree that has taken the entire country by storm. The fastest 
growing tree that we know of. Will grow into a big tree within five 
or six years from planting. This tree is adapted to high, dry loca- 
tions and in such places is one of our best trees. Adapted to lawn and 
boulevard planting and also makes the fastest growing windbreak 
tree we know of. Especially fine for a farm windbreak. We do not 
advise it for an ornamental tree if planted in rich moist soils like 
those of southern Minnesota, as it then grows too late and is liable 
to winter injury. But as a windbreak tree, where the trees are 
planted close together and its growth consequently somewhat check- 
ed, it has no equal. For windbreak and hedge planting we offer: 
Heavy transplanted bushy 3 to 4 ft. trees, $10.00 per 100; 4 to 5 ft. 
trees, 4 for $1.00; $20.00 per 100. Remember these are not seed- 
lings, but are heavy transplanted trees. 
ELM, Lake City. The Lake City Elm is a selection made at Lake City, 
Minnesota, of a very fine specimen of the American White Elm, the 
greatest ornamental tree we have in America. The tree selected was 
a remarkably beautiful tree. All propagating has been from this one 
specimen so the young trees will all be like this one parent when they 
are mature. 4 to 6 ft. straight whips, 75c; 10 for $7.00 
6 to 8 ft. nicely branched, $1.50; 2 for $2.75 
8 to 10 ft. heavy select trees, 114in. caliper, $2.00 
114 to 2 inch, $2.50 
HONEY LOCUST. One of the most widely distributed trees in the 
United States is the graceful Honey Locust.. We offer what is called 
the Thornless Honey Locust. Occasionally there is a tree without 
thorns but sorry to say most trees show thorns but not as bad as 
the regular old type. These are a truly beautiful lot of trees. 
8 to 10 ft., $1.25; 2 for $2.25; 5 for $5.00 
10 to 12 ft., $2.00; 2 for $1.90; 5 for $4.25 
KENTUCKY COFFEE TREE. A tall, fast-growing upright tree often 
found native this far north, so it is perfectly hardy. A fine ornamental 
tree for the lawn or to grow in clusters. The foliage is 2 to 3 ft. long, 
of great grace and beauty. Greenish white flowers in long panicles 
come on the end of the current year’s growth and are followed by 
interesting clusters of large, flat, red seed pods which hang on all 
winter. This tree is a native as far north as about Faribault and is 
perfectly hardy on the prairies of South Dakota. It should be headed 
back at 8 feet when it develops into a beautiful round topped tree. 
3 to 4 ft., 60c; 2 for $1.00. 4 to 5 ft., 80c; 2 for $1.50. Large 5 to 6 
ft., $1.25; 2 for $2.25. 6 to 8 ft., $1.50; 2 for $2.75 
MAPLE, Schwedler. This is the beautiful Red Maple. The trees have 
the same beauty of growth that our native Hard Maple has. But in 
the spring from the time growth starts and for about six weeks, the 
tree is absolutely red. One of our hardiest and most beautiful trees. 
To grow a good Schwedler Maple the limbs should be allowed to 
grow close to the ground. Have low limbs on the south side if pos- 
sible to shade the trunk and save the tree from sun-scald. Most 
people trim their Schwedler Maples up too high. This causes sun- 
scald and spoils the tree. We have the finest lot of Schwedlers we 
ever grew, especially in the 6 to 8 ft. grade. Low branched. Don’t 
trim the limbs from the trunks. 
5 to 6 ft., branched, $1.75; 2 for $3.00 
6 to 8 ft., branched, $2.25; 2 for $4.00 
MAY DAY TREE. A Bird Cherry from Eastern Siberia worthy of a place 
on every lawn. Especially adaptable to the middle northwest where 
very hardy drought resistant trees are required. It is remarkable for 
being the first tree in this part of the country to come into full leaf. 
The large green leaves and wealth of white blossoms early in the 
spring make the tree highly ornamental. The blooms are pure white 
and resemble those of our native Choke Cherry, but are much larger. 
It can be grown either as a tree or as a large bush about 12 feet high. 
Extremely noticeable when in bloom as the bush or tree is so abso- 
lutely hidden by the bloom and the white is so pure that it stands right 
out trom all else. Strong 3-4 ft., 80c; 2 for $1.50 
Heavy specimens, $1.00; 2 for $1.90 
Select heavy specimens, 4-5 ft., $1.50; 2 for $2.75 
MOUNTAIN ASH, European. A fine ornamental tree for the lawn. 
Almost without pruning, it forms a magnificent, fairly dense, well- 
shaped head, covered from midsummer until midwinter with large 
clusters of beautiful scarlet berries—a brilliant color for the landscape. 
We are making two sets of prices on our Mountain Ash; one for 
trees with slight crooks and another for No. 1 select straight trees. 
The ordinary grade will suit most people and is much cheaper. 
Regular run, 5 to 6 ft., $1.00; 2 for $1.50 
Regular run, 6 to 8 ft., $1.25; 2 for $2.00 
Select, 5 to 6 ft., $1.25; 2 for $2.00 
Select, 6 to 8 ft., $1.50; 2 for $2.75 
Select, 8 to 10 ft., $2.25; 2 for $4.00
