SWEET GUM 
Liquidambar Styraciflua. For planting in narrow parkings 
or in the background of small shrub plantings this small 
pyramidal tree has no equal. The shining maple-like leaves, 
which are borne thickly over the tree, turn in fall to ex- 
quisite shades of orange, red, gold and maroon and remain 
on the tree a remarkably long time. Once seen—never for- 
gotten! Balled, heavy, 7-8 ft., $5.00; 6-7 ft., $3.25; 5-gal. con- 
tainers, $2.50; gal. containers, 85c; 15-gal. containers, $10.00. 
TULIP TREE 
Liriodendron Tulipifera. Tall straight trunked tree which 
spreads to symmetrical proportions. The thick growing 
maple-like leaves make it a particularly desirable shade tree. 
Large showy tulip-shaped yellow flowers and golden fall 
leaves are added attractions. 60 ft. Well branched specimens

WEEPING MULBERRY 
Morus alba venosa Weeping. Trained over a light frame 
work will form the slickest out-of-doors living room imag- 
inable. Slender drooping branches strung with lush glossy 
leaves will give you all the privacy you could wish. Put up 
a hammock, buy—or better yet, borrow—a good book and 
really relax. 8-10 ft., 5-gal. containers, $3.50. 
FLAMING PISTACHIO 
Pistacia chinensis. Until you have seen this marvel of vivid 
fall color you really “haven't seen anything”. Through sum- 
mer it is just a sturdy, handsome, round-headed tree, but in 
the fall the divided, airy foliage is ablaze with crimson, scar- 
let and maroon. 20-30 ft. 5-gal. containers, $2.50. 
SYCAMORES 
Platanus orientalis. Oriental Sycamore. A mighty fine tree 
of symmetrical habit for street planting or for shade. The 
enormous leaves cast a dense inviting shade. The tree is 
very hardy and although it may grow to 60 ft. in height it 
can easily be kept much smaller by pruning. Well branched 
specimens 10-12 ft., $3.75; 8-10 ft., $2.50; 6-8 ft., $1.75; 5-gal. 
containers, $2.50; 6-gal. containers, $3.75; 15-gal. contain- 
ers, $7.50. 
Platanus racemosa. Native Sycamore. Because of its rapid- 
ity of growth, welcome shade, handsomely mottled white 
bark and general thrifty appearance this variety is our most 
popular native tree. Planted either singly or in groups in 
the lawn or elsewhere these trees have high artistic value. 
60-70 ft. Unlike most sycamores offered for sale, our trees 
have been grown far apart, insuring strong wide branches 
and heavy caliper. 16-25 ft., 4-6 in. caliper, 10-12 ft. spread, 
priced individually $40.00 to $60.00; 10-12 ft., $3.00 and up;

CROOKED NATIVE SYCAMORES 
There has been such a demand for crooked sycamores that 
we have trained a limited number of these trees in artistic 
shapes. Heavily branched and strong caliper. 6-12 ft., $3.00 
to $6.00. 
NATIVE SYCAMORE CLUMPS 
From 3 to 5 trunks of different sizes. Wide top spread.

leaves that are interestingly toothed. The young branches are 
glistening green. Not particular as to soil but does appreciate 
moisture, 5-gal. containers, $3.75. 
HARDY ELMS 
Ulmus americana. American Elm. This variety has not 
been given the attention it merits. If you have a large area 
you want covered with a really worthwhile shade, no tree of 
our acquaintance will do the job as thoroughly. The reddish- 
brown limbs support a multitude of branchlets that are 
lined with large heavily veined deep green leaves. The tree 
will grow to 60 ft. tall with a 40 to 50 ft. spread. A tree of 
majestic proportions. Heavily branched, 8-10 ft., $2.25; 6-8 
ite ple /oo-ca le Gomtaimers:) $2000)

shade tree. From small seedlings a foot or two high we have 
grown 18 to 20 ft. trees in two summers. Spreads rapidly in

many other trees. A tree that is not only handsome but one 
that succeeds in heat, cold, drought or alkaline soil. Heavily
