Our Trees.. 
Are upland grown. This means 
hardier stock and better roots. 
They are measured for height from 
the ground up, as they will be 
after planting. Plant our shade 
trees about 2 to 3 inches deeper 
than they were grown in the nurs- 
ery, water well at planting time 
and through dry parts of first 
summer, and you will have beauti- 
ful trees on your grounds in record 
time.

The white bark of stem and branches of the 
Birch always’ shows up well in groups of 
shrubs, and particularly in groups of Ever- 
greens. The Birch is a beautiful tree, hardy, 
and growing to large size. 
Cutleaf Weeping Birch Of all pendu- 
lous or. so- 
called weeping trees, this Birch and the Nioha 
Weeping Willow are the two most widely known. 
This Birch grows tall and slender, yet with vig- 
orous growth. It makes an erect central trunk 
with silvery white bark, from which the limbs 
spread out in graceful arches. The leaves of a 
beautiful shade of green, are deeply and delicate- 
ly cut. The whole tree presents a soft, pleasing 
effect rarely found in other trees.

PRUNING OF SHADE TREES 
' Softwood trees such as Elms, Soft Maple, Willow, require. pruning in order to keep 
branches from splitting out in heavy storms. Where branches are too close, some of 
them should be removed entirely; those which appear to be too long should be shortened. 
All pruning of softwood trees should take place from July to September. Hardwood 
trees rarely need pruning, only to improve their shape. Prune them at any time it is 
necessary, but preferably in late fall or early spring.
