A good shade tree not only furnishes shade, but often affords bloom, fruit, Autumn coloring, and 
serves as a screen or background for other plantings. The following selection of varieties has been 
made up with those qualities in mind. We, however, are listing separately under ‘‘Flowering Trees” 
a group of trees planted especially for ornamental effect. Both groups are planted for shade. 
ASH, AMERICAN WHITE (Fraxinus americana). Good growers, spreading and giving excellent 
shade, yet not so dense as to destroy the grass beneath the branches. Suitable for streets and cam- 
puses, as well as on lawns where space permits. 8-10 ft. $2.75 each, $30.00 per dozen; 10-12 ft. $3.50 
each, $37.50 per dozen; 214-3 in. caliper, $7.50 each. 
BEECH, AMERICAN (Fagus americana). This famous tree is denied more extensive use because 
of its being difficult to transplant. So we offer only balled and burlapped specimens. 3-4 in. caliper, 
$30.00 each; 4-5 in. caliper, $45.00 each. 
BIRCH (BETULA), Cut-leaved Weeping (Betula alba pendula laciniata. A slender tree with 
white bark, gracefully weeping branches; fern-like, cut leaves—all of which combine to make

type, but a good shade tree, as well as effective in group plantings.

branches, less spread, and does not 
grow to be as large a tree. Suitable for

size tree is desired. Sends its roots deep
