the tree in May and June. 5 to 6 ft. heavy rooted trees, $2.40. 
CORKSCREW or MARCEL WILLOW 
A startling novelty. Here is a tree that really grows a natural marcel wave. Not a 
trained tree, but a distinct species whose novel branches and leaves are curled, waved, 
and twisted, making it look as if someone had gone over every leaf and branch with a 
curling iron. It grows upright and weeps a little with the weight of the leaves, making a 
perfectly lovely, graceful tree. Everyone who has seen it, has loved this lovely little lawn 
specimen. 4 to 5 ft., $1.90. 6 to 8 ft. specimens, $3.00.
