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 
ssi get the natural effect of native growing 
rees. 
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 pubes- 
cense. 
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 
growing shade tree which is of special value 
where immediate shade is wanted. Vigor- 
ous, healthy and attractive. 
violent winds. Such branches should be 
properly braced or cross-cabled. A rela- 
tively small expenge for such treatment 
may prevent extensive damage from vio- 
lent winds not only to the tree itself, but 
also to buildings or other property under 
the tree. 
Trees “get hungry” just the same as 
other plants do. A tree which does not 
make a vigorous growth and in which fre- 
quent dead branches appear is undoubtedly 
suffering from starvation. It should be 
fertilized and it probably needs supple- 
mental watering. In feeding, the roots of 
a tree will be found chiefly under the outer 
. branch areas. Food applied close to the 
trunk of a tree is usually largely wasted. 
THE PERENNIAL GARDEN 
A perennial garden 
should receive the best of 
soil preparation. There 
should be at least a foot, 
preferably two feet, of 
well prepared black gar- 
den soil with retentive 
clay sub-soil below. High fertility and high 
organic content are desirable, yes even 
essential, for the best results. It is a com- 
mon and wise practice to excavate the bed 
area, and, as the good soil is returned to 
mix the lower portion thoroughly with 
well rotted barnyard manure and then to 
mix extra fine well-rotted manure, or pre- 
ferably peat, with the upper portion of 
the soil. 
Throughout the growing season the gar- 
den should receive the best of good shallow 
cultivation, maintaining at all times a loose 
mellow top soil or dust mulch. During the

HARD MAPLE 
HARD MAPLE (Sugar Maple)—One of 
most desirable shade and Vie eae RE Ate 
fs ete taes ie oes of great beauty. Deeply 
ybed, dark green leaves taki l 
vivid tints in the fall. een Le 
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 un- 
dersides have made it exceedingly popular 
where a strong vertical dccent is desired 
in the landscape. 
NIOBE WEEPING WILLOW—The 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. 
DANIELS TREE SERVICE 
Trees are one of the most valuable assets 
one can own. It takes a lifetime to replace a 
large tree. Consequently existing ones merit 
the best of care and attention. We will be 
glad to consult with you regarding the welfare 
and preservation of your valuable specimens 
and to suggest the care necessary for their 
continued health and long life.
