MAPLE (ACER)—Continued 

Chestnut (Quercus montana). Tall, 
Norway (Acer platanoides). 
Especi- 
ally suited for street planting and on 
the grounds of small homes. As it 
makes only a medium size tree, can be 
used where space does not permit the 
use of the larger trees like the Sugar 
Maple and American Elm. Large, dark 
green foliage; dense, spreading. A me- 
dium grower. (See illustration.) 6-8 ft. 
$2.75 each, $30.00 per dozen; 8-10 ft. 
$3.75 each, $40.00 per dozen; 2-3 in. 
caliper, $7.50 each, $77.50 per dozen; 
3-3 in. caliper, $10.00 each, $110.00 
per dozen, $850.00 per 100; 314-4 in. 
caliper, $15.00 each, $165.00 per dozen; 
4-5 in. caliper, $22.50 each, $225.00 per 
dozen. 
Schwedler’s (Acer schwedleri). Re- 
sembles the Norway. The foliage is 
blood-red in the Spring, gradually turn- 
ing to a dark green during the Summer. 
10-12 ft. $5.00 each; 2-21% in. caliper, 
at each; 214-3 in. caliper, $10.00 
each. 
Silver (Acer dasyecarpum). Especially 
popular because of being a fast grower. 
Light green foliage, slightly silvery un- 
derneath. Trees grow to be larger and 
more spreading than the Norway and 
should be given more space. An excel- 
lent tree for broad streets and large 
home grounds, as well as useful for pub- 
lic parks. 8-10 ft. $3.00 each, $32.50 
per dozen; 10-12 ft. $3.75 each, $40.00 
per dozen; 214-3 in. caliper, $6.50 each; 
3-4 in. caliper, $9.00 each; 4-5 in. cali- 
per, $17.50 each. 
Sugar (Acer saccharum). A native of 
the East, found growing in forests. In 
some localities the trees are tapped for 
the sugar water, which is boiled into 
syrup and maple sugar. Tall, pyram- 
idal shape, requiring more space than 
its cousin, the Norway. 6-8 ft. $3.00 
each; 8-10 ft. $4.00 each. 
CAK (QUERCUS). For permanent shade, 
few varieties excel the Oaks, which are 
long-lived, sturdy and stately. There 
are many varieties of Oaks; we attempt 
to offer only the most useful shade and 
ornamental varieties. The Oaks are 
more difficult to transplant than some 
other varieties of shade trees and are 
slower in becoming established after be- 
ing transplanted, but after once estab- 
lished are reasonably fast growers and 
become more valuable with age. 
Laurel (Quercus laurifolia). Grows 
naturally from Virginia to Florida. 
Shining, dark green leaves semi-ever- 
green. 5-6 ft. $3.00 each. 
rather slender grower with foliage less 
dense than the Pin Oak. Most useful 
when planted in groups with other va- 
rieties. 8-10 ft. $4.00 each, $42.50 per 
dozen; 10-12 ft. $5.00 each; 214-3 in. 
caliper, $10.00 each. 
English White (Quercus Robur). An 
odd, slow grower with small, curly, ser- 
rated leaves. May be used as specimens 
or on the outside of group plantings. 
6-8 ft. $3.50 each; 8-10 ft. $4.50 each; 
10-12 ft. $6.00 each. 
Pin (Quercus palustris). The most ex- 
tensively planted of all Oaks, because 
it lends itself better as a shade tree for 
narrow streets and small home grounds. 
It is also useful in parks, bordering 
driveways, and almost anywhere a me- 
dium size shade tree is required. A very 
uniform, pyramidal grower; large, 
glossy green foliage, turning to red in 
Fall—making the tree ornamental as 
well as affording desirable shade. (See 
illustration.) 6-8 ft. $3.50 each, $37.50 
per dozen; 8-10 ft. $4.50 each, $47.50 
per dozen; 10-12 ft. $6.00 each; 2-214 
in. caliper, $8.00 each. 
Red. (Acer rubra). Another good Oak 
which makes a beautiful shade tree 
from the time it is established on lawn 
or street. Grows to be very old and a 
giant in the forest. When planting a 
tree as a lasting memorial we recom- 
mend Red Oak as being one of the best. 
Has large, glossy green foliage which 
turns scarlet in Fall. 6-8 ft. $3.50 each; 
8-10 ft. $4.50 each; 10-12 ft. $6.00 each; 
2-216 in. caliper, $8.00 each. 
Scarlet (Acer coccinea). Very similar to 
the Red Oak in general appearance and 
habit of growth; foliage somewhat more 
serrated and turns to a more uniform 
redin Autumn; a beautiful, satisfactory 
tree. Sizes and prices same as Red Oak. 
White (Quercus alba). The well known, 
native American White Oak. Rather 
difficult to transplant but makes a 
beautiful tree especially when planted 
in groups in parks or on large estates. 
Same sizes and prices as Red Oak. 

Norway Maple 
POPLAR (POPULUS), Carolina (Populus canaden- 
sis), A rapid growing, softwood tree. Planted 
largely because it affords quick shade. Broad, light 
green foliage. Easily transplanted. 10-12 ft. $3.00 
each; 2-214 in caliper, $4.00 each. 
Lombardy (Populus nigra italica). Tall, slender, 
rapid grower. Suitable as a background, planting 
along driveways, screening off outbuildings and 
other unsightly objects. 5-6 ft. 85c. each, $8.50 per 
dozen, $60.00 per 100; 6-8 ft. $1.25 each, $12.50 per 
dozen, $75.00 per 100; 8-10 ft. $1.75 each, $17.50 
per dozen, $100.00 per 100; 10-12 ft. $2.25 each, 
$22.50 per dozen. 
Simoni (Populus simoni). Another fast, slender 
grower, somewhat resembling the Lombardy, but 
having more spread and being a longer lived tree. 
5-6 ft. $1.20 each, $12.00 per dozen; 6-8 ft. $1.50 
each, $15.00 per dozen; 8-10 ft. $2.00 each, $20.00 
per dozen. 
WALNUT, American Black (Juglans nigra). Fast 
growing, spreading shade tree. Profitable for both 
timber and nuts. Especially useful for planting in 
pasture fields as the grass thrives underneath. Makes 
good shade for the stock and at the same time is 
growing into valuable timber. 6-8 ft. $2.00 each, 
$20.00 per dozen; 8-10 ft. $3.00 each, $30.00 per dozen. 
WILLOW, WEEPING (Salix babylonica). One of the 
most beautiful of the weeping trees. Especially suit- 
able for planting along streams, but can be grown in 
well drained soil. (See illustration.) 5-6 ft. $1.50 each, 
$15.00 per dozen; 6-8 ft. $2.00 each, $20.00 per dozen; 
8-10 ft. $3.00 each. 
PLANE, Oriental (Platanus orientalis). 
The Plane is a good grower and especially 
useful in cities where some varieties do 
not succeed because of smoke. Useful as a 
street tree, as well as on the lawn. 6-8 ft. 
$2.75 each; 8-10 ft. $3.50 each; 10-12 ft. 
$4.50 each; 214-3 in. caliper, $9.00 each; 
3-4 in. caliper, $12.00 each. 
Flowering Trees for Shade and Beauty 

Cornus, Pink Dogwood 
Flowering Trees 
can often be used 
to serve both for 
shade and as an or- 
namental, and 
should be used 
wherever possible. 
Flowering Trees 
may be planted 
either in groups or 
as specimens, on 
both the large es- 
tate and small 
home grounds. 
APPLE TREES. 
While the Apple 
is generaily 
planted for its 
fruit, it is one of 
our most beau- 
tiful ornamental trees. 
caliper, 8-10 ft. $6.00 each. 
It is difficult to imagine a scene more beautiful than 
Apple Trees in full blossom. The Apple also makes a satisfactory shade tree and 
at the same time serves for growing fruit, which—when ripe 
est. Specimen Apple Trees, in choice varieties, selected for ornamental purposes, 
are twice transplanted and pruned so as to make them suitable for this purpose. 
5 yr., 7-8 ft. $3.00 each, 6'yr. 114-2 in. caliper, 8-9 ft. $4.50 each; 7 yr., 2-214 in.
