Chinese Elm 
FOR QUICK SHADE—(30-40) feet 
A very rapid grower with small dense 
foliage. Resembles Norway Maple in 
shape. Excellent for tall hedge and 
windbreak. Because of its beauty and 
extremely rapid growth, the Chinese 
Elm has become the leading shade tree 
of America. It is planted in every state, 
standing intense cold and extreme heat 
extremely well. Under ordinary condi- 
tions, it makes excellent shade in five

DOGWOODS 
Cornus florida rubra 
(RED-FLOWERING DOGWOOD) 
This variety stands out among other 
ornamental trees as being one of the 
most desirable. Showy, rose-colored 
bracts (petals) and the deep red foliage 
in the Fall conspicuously distinguish 
it from the white Dogwoods, having 
the same ultimate height and good 
habits of growth. A combination of 
the red flowering with the white makes 
a beautiful grouping.

Cornus florida 
WHITE-FLOWERING DOGWOOD 
The rare beauty of Dogwood in 
Spring when it is white with bloom, or 
in Summer with its dark green foliage 
changing in the Fall to gorgeous reds, 
is hard to equal; it is one of the loveli- 
est of trees. The spreading branches 
grow horizontally and slightly up- 
ward from the trunk, conspicuous 
flowers, appearing early in the Spring, 
are 3 to 3% inches in diameter. A 
Dogwood makes a beautiful lawn or 
shrub border specimen, and is valu- 
able for naturalizing where its native 
woods habitat can be copied.
