20 THE DANIELS NURSERY 

DANIELS SHADE TREES 
No outdoor living room is complete without the cool shade of properly placed 
trees. Then too, they furnish a suitable framing for both close and distant views in — 
landscape and when used for screening effects add a comfortable feeling of privacy. 
As shade trees take a much longer time to reach their most useful size than do 
most other plants, we suggest planting without delay. A year lost now can never 
be regained. DO IT NOW! 
And because of their relatively slow development, only the best transplanted 
and carefully trained trees should be planted. Daniels hardy, northern grown trees 
have well developed root systems which insure you quick and certain growth. 
TWELVE OUTSTANDING SHADE TREES 
ASH, AMERICAN WHITE—A tall growing 
native tree. Straight, clean growth, round 
head and dense foliage. In autumn the 
foliage coloring is unusually beautiful. 
BIRCH, WHITE—A beautiful, graceful, up- 
right growing tree famed for its attractive 
bark. A favorite for lawn tree planting. 
Effective when planted singly or in groups. 
If planted three or four in one clump one 
will get the natural effect of native growing 
trees. 
BIRCH, CUTLEAF WEEPING—One of the 
most admired of all lawn trees. Distin- 
guished for its unusual grace in character 
and outline. Its white bark, long drooping 
branches and finely cut foliage give a par- 
ticularly artistic touch to the landscape. 
CRAB APPLE, HOPA—A very attractive orna- 
mental tree with large red blossoms in the 
spring followed by red fruits. Leaves color 
beautifully in the fall. 
CRAB, RED SILVER—A valuable new addi- 
tion to the small ornamental trees of the 
Northwest. Early spring flowers are deeper 
and more brilliant in hue than Hopa, but 
not quite as large. Foliage has a distinctly 
reddish color, overcast with silvery pub- 
escense. 
ELM, AMERICAN—The most popular tree for 
shade, street and lawn plantings. A rapid 
grower and long lived. 
SOFT or SILVER MAPLE—A hardy, quick 
grewing shade tree which is of special value 
where immediate shade is wanted. Vigor- 
ous, healthy and attractive. 
HARD MAPLE (Sugar Maple)—One of the 
most desirable shade and ornamental trees. 
A symmetrical tree of great beauty. Deeply 
lobed, dark green leaves taking on beautiful 
vivid tints in the fall. 
MOUNTAIN ASH—One of the most popular 
of the small lawn trees. White flowers in 
spring followed by large clusters of orange 
red berries which remain throughout the 
winter. Finely divided foliage. 
NEWPORT PLUM—tThe best all summer red 
foliage tree for the North. The typical plum 
blossoms of early spring are backed by the 
crimson of the newly unfolding leaves. A 
small to medium sized tree of striking color. 
BOLLEANA POPLAR—Probably the most de- 
sirable of all the slender, upright growing 
trees. Its spirelike, columnar form and 
glossy green leaves with downy white under- 
sides have made it exceedingly popular 
where a strong vertical accent is desired 
in the landscape. 
NIOBE WEEPING WILLOW—tThe best of the 
weeping willows. A clean type of tree, free 
from litter of broken branches and other 
trash so common in some willows. Its form 
is that of a graceful weeping tree and this, 
with its beautiful golden bark, makes it 
exceedingly attractive in both summer and 
winter. A very rapid grower.
