“TREES” are plants that continue 
to grow from the top buds. Usu- 
ally, therefore, has only one or 
two main stems or trunks. The 
pruning of a tree should not in- 
terfere with this tip growth. 
“DECIDUOUS” means losing its 
leaves every winter. Such plants 
then become dormant (sleeping) 
and make late fall and spring 
transplanting easy. Usually no 
earth ball is necessary, even in 
large sizes. 

Trees Grow Quickly 
Few amateurs of trees realize how 
soon a 5 or 6 foot tree becomes large 
enough to make a show in the land- 
scape. Of course, such “hurry-trees” 
as Ulmus pumila, Poplars and Wil- 
lows are famous for rapid growth— 
but among trees known to have 
reached 30 feet or more in their first 
15 years of life are such supposed 
“slow” growers as Red Oak, Pin 
Oak, most Maples, Liriodendron, 
several Birches, Black Locust and 
American Linden. 
Plan Ahead—Plant Now 
Since a young tree requires little 
care, and is much less expense and 
trouble to plant than a large one, it 
pays to plan ahead. Order and set 
out NOW the trees you will need in 
your plans for the future. A special 
list of bargains for such use is made 
on page 10—large enough to be out 
of the baby stage, yet young enough 
to be inexpensive to buy and ship. 
Shipping Cosis Low 
Generally speaking, of the four 
grades illustrated at the right, the 
two smallest cost 10% of the price 
for expressage; the two largest 15%.

DECIDUOUS 
On these 8 pages is an alphabetical list of deciduous trees—q 
short list of the better kinds only. Many sorts not listed can be 
quoted on request. Other deciduous trees will be found under 
Fruits and Nuts beginning on page 57. Small, bushy trees are 
included in this list, though some of them come close to being 
classifiable as large shrubs (there is no clear dividing line). We 
try to simplify and all Maples, even dwarf forms, are here among 
trees—while all Viburnums, even tree-like kinds, are listed as 
shrubs.
