MOUNTAIN ASH, American. This Moun- 
tain Ash is not seen as frequently as is 
the European variety. It should be just 
the reverse. The Mountain Ash is 
grown primarily for its fall effect when 
it is covered with berries. It is not quite 
so trim and symmetrical a tree as the 
European, but it is an annual and pro- 
lific fruiting tree. The tree is bushy as 
a rule from the ground up, and in the 
fall is just covered with great clusters 
of orange-red fruits. Great bird food. 
Heavy 6 to 8 ft., $1.50; 2 for $2.75 




AN OUTSTANDING ITEM IN OUR NURSERY THIS YEAR 
OAK, Scarlet. The Scarlet Oak (Quercus coccinea), is without 
exception the most brilliant of anything we ever had in our nursery 
in late fall. Three full weeks after our Red Oak foliage had lost its 
red color and had turned brown, our Scarlet Oaks were still a 
brilliant scarlet-red. This subject can be treated as a tree or as a 
shrub. As a tree it grows into a fine tree with wonderful brilliant 
fall foliage. But for the small lot owners it can be handled as a 
shrub and as such gives the small garden a late fall color it other- 
wise cannot obtain. Simply keep the tree trimmed yearly in early 
spring down to from 3 to 6 feet as desired. 
You will never regret putting a Scarlet Oak into your yard. 
2 to 3 ft., 60c; 2 for $1.00. 3 to 4 ft., 75c; 2 for $1.35 

Fruit of American Mountain Ash POPLAR, Bolleana (Silver Leaved). Very similar in growing habits 
to the much used Lombardy Poplar and used in similar planting 
situations. A very desirable tall growing spirelike tree with beautiful 
maple-like leaves which are lined underneath with silver. Often used 
to fill out as a corner or sentinel tree to a background, or to plant as 
a very tall screen to blot out unsightly buildings or views. Can be 
planted within 3 feet of a tall building and will grow right up the 
side of it. 5 to 6 ft., $1.25 each; $2.00 per pair 
POPLAR, Lombardy. Very similar in growing habit and appearance to 
the Bolleana Poplar described above, only this is a green-leaved tree. 
This is the tree almost universally used as an accent tree in orna- 
mental yard planting. 5 to 6 ft. trees, 50c each; 6 for $2.50; 
12 for $4.00 
POPLAR, Norway. Where a fast growing very large tree is wanted, 
plant the Norway Poplar. Grows into a very tall handsome tree with 
light green bark and broad shiny dark green leaves. As fast a grower 
as the Chinese Elm and for rich soils, a far better tree. This tree 
grows so fast it is often called ““The Sudden Saw Log.” Grows into 
the largest of all our trees. 
Large, 3-yr., 6-8 ft., each $1.00; 2 for $1.50; 10 for $7.00 
1 year, 5 to 6 ft., each 60c; 2 for $1.00; 10 for $3.50 
1 year, 3 to 4 ft., 5 for $1.00; 100 for $6.00 
1 year, 2 to 3 ft., 10 for $1.00; 100 for $3.00 


Seariet-Hok WALNUT, Black. One of the hardiest, easiest to grow, and longest 
lived of all our trees. Native as far north as Faribault. Grows into 
an immense spreading tree of great beauty. Valuable to grow in the 
windbreak and in waste pieces of rough land where it can be allowed 
to stand to produce lumber, which is very valuable. Also very orna- 
mental in individual planting. Our trees are from nuts taken from 
trees growing native here at Faribault, so are of the hardiest strain 
obtainable. 18-24 in., 10. for $1.25; 100 for $5.50, prepaid 

WILLOW, Corkscrew. A beautiful but odd-looking tree that comes to 
us from the Department of Agriculture at Washington. An upright 
willow which grows much like a Lombardy Poplar with every limb 
twisting and turning as it grows upwards much after the fashion of 
a corkscrew. This is a real ornamental tree in any planting. 
6-7 ft., Select Specimens, $1.25 each; 2 for $2.25 
WILLOW, Weeping (Golden Niobe). The golden Weeping Willow, 
the most beautiful in that species. Splendid as a lawn tree, for plant- 
ing near pools or along the banks of streams. A graceful weeping 
tree with deep rich golden bark on trunk and along the long slender 
weeping branches. Hardiest of all the Weeping Willows. Very beau- 
tiful in the winter because of its rich yellow bark, which makes it very 
conspicuous. Absolutely hardy here in Minnesota. One of the most 
gS ec! effective of all trees for real ornamental effect. 
Kentucky Coffee Tree (See page 27) 5-6 ft., $1.00; 2 for $1.90. 6-8 ft., $1.35; 2 for $2.50

MULBERRY. Russian. Everyone who 
loves birds and has the room should 
plant several Russian Mulberry trees. 
Several trees must be planted to- 
gether so as to cross fertilize. The 
trees will then produce tremendous 
crops of fruit. The fruit from the 
Mulberry attracts the birds and keeps 
them from eating the strawberries, 
raspberries, and currants. 
2 to 3 ft. trees, 5 for $1.00; 
10 for $1.50
