IT TAKES SHADE AND ORNAMENTAL TREES TO COMPLETE THE 
LANDSCAPE. 
SHADE TREES.... 
The first cost of your trees, as compared with your house, is insignificant, hence 
you should BUY NONE BUT THE BEST. HARRISON’S trees are grown here in the 
Mid-West and they are acclimated for your locality. Careful attention is given our 
shade and ornamental trees to develop nice smooth bodies and well formed tops. 
They are root pruned to develop plenty of fibrous roots, which gives you good sur- 
vival and strong, rapid growth. Our list of varieties is not long as we grow only the 
hardiest, and they are adapted to your territory. 
MULBERRY, RUSSIAN—A fast growing, bushy topped tree with small leaves. Bears 
heavy crops of fruit. Extensively used for hedges, windbreaks and for its fruit. 
Very hardy. 
OAK, PIN—A magnificent tree for lawn and street planting, with deep green foliage 
which changes to rich scarlet and yellow in the fall. A most shapely and graceful 
tree. 
OLIVE, RUSSIAN—A small growing tree, leaves narrow and silvery-white, flowers 
yellow and fragrant. Extremely hardy; will take dry seasons. Makes wonderful 
windbreak, excellent for hedging, also used in shrub borders where height and color 
are needed. 
POPLAR, NORWAY—Very hardy and rapid growing, valuable as a windbreak tree; 
also used extensively in the West for street and yard planting. 
POPLAR, LOMBARDY and VOLGA—For tall screens and backgrounds, these trees 
are admirable. Pyramidal, giving them a stately appearance, limbs to the ground. 
We have been unable to tell these two trees apart, hence we are listing them both 
under the same description. 
POPLAR, BOLLEANA—Another pyramidal and admirable tree for tall screens and 
backgrounds. Leaves are glossy green above, silver beneath. A favorite with land- 
scape gardeners. : 
POPLAR, SILVER LEAF—A tree of wonderful rapid growth and wide, spreading LOMBARDY POPLAR 
habit; leaves large, glossy green above and silver-white beneath; likes moist soil 
but grows anywhere. 
PLUM, CISTENA—Dwarf tree, rich purplish foliage, reddish-brown branches; very 
hardy; desirable for color. 
PLUM, FLOWERING—A charming shrub or small tree, 5 to 6 feet high, of spread- 
ing, vigorous growth. Very early in spring before its leaves appear the whole tree 
is decked in a fleecy cloud of very double, light, pink blossoms. Its effect in any 
landscape is very attractive. 
PLUM, PURPLE LEAF—A very ornamental small tree. Leaves deep purple. Flowers 
numerous, white, appearing before leaves. Fruit reddish-purple. Desirable for both 
bloom and foliage. 
RED BUD—A medium sized tree with large irregular head and perfect heart-shaped 
leaves; derives its name Red Bud from the profusion of delicate reddish-pink blos- 
soms with which it is covered in early spring before the foliage appears. One of 
the finest ornamental trees. 
WALNUT, BLACK—This species is a common and stately forest tree in the Middle 
Western states; grows from forty to sixty feet high; has an open, spreading head 
and is rapid in growth; produces large crops of nuts with rough, hard shell con- 
taining rich oily kernels of fine flavor. 
WILLOW, NIOBE WEEPING—Imported by Prof. N. E. Hansen, who gave it the 
name. It is a golden-barked willow of a decided weeping nabit. It is extremely oe — es: 
hardy and for this reason is especially valuable to the Northwest. HACKBERRY
