A good shade tree not only furnishes shade, but often affords bloom, fruit, Autumn coloring, and serves as a screen 
or background for other plantings. The following selection of varieties has been made up with those qualities in mind. 
We, however, are listing separately under ‘‘Flowering Trees’’ a group of trees planted especially for ornamental effect. 
Both groups are planted for shade. 
ASH, American White (Fraxinus americana). Good 
erowers, spreading and giving excellent shade, yet not 
so dense as to destroy the grass beneath the branches. 
Suitable for streets and campuses, as well as on lawns 
where space permits. 8+10 ft $3.00 each, $30.00 per 
dozen; 10-12 ft. $4.00 each, $40.00 per dozen, 244-3 in. 
caliper, $8.00 each. 
BEECH, American (Fagus americana). This famous 
tree is denied more extensive use because of its being 
difficult to transplant. So we offer only balled and bur- 
lapped specimens. 3-4 in. caliper, B&B, $30.00 each; 
4-5 in. caliper, B&B, $50.00 each; 5-6 in. caliper, B&B, 
$70.00 each. 
BIRCH (BETULA), Cutleaved Weeping (Betula alba 
pendula laciniata). A slender tree with white bark, 
gracefully weeping branches, fernlike cut leaves, all of 
which combine to make it one of the most beautiful 
trees. May be used as aspecimen or in groups with other 
varieties. (See illus.) 6-8 ft. $3.50 each, 8-10 ft. $4.50 
each, 10-12 ft. $6.00 each, 2-244in. B&B, $20.00 each. 
European White (Betula alba). White bark, larger 
leaves and stiffer branches than the weeping type, but 
a good shade tree as well as effective in group plant- 
ings. 6-8 ft. $2.75 each, 8-10 ft. $3.50 each, 10-12 ft. 
$4.50 each, 2-21% in., B&B, $15.00 each. 
BIRCH, Yellow (Betula lutea). One of the finest forest 
trees, especially inthe New England states. Bark sil- 
very grey with a tinge of orange. Dark green foliage 
turning to brilliant goldenin Autumn; ideal for plant- 
ing near streams. 6-8 ft. $2.75 each.

$36.00 per dozen. : 
Speciosa (We tern Catalpa). Fast growing, open 
top tree, suitable where quick effect is desired. 
6-8 ft. $2.00 each, 8-10 ft. $2.75 each. 
ELMS (Ulmusz). The Elm comprises one of the best 
known and most practical groups of shade trees, be- 
ing adapted to almost all kinds of soil and climate. 
Easily transplanted and reasonably fast growers. 
American (Ulmus americana). This famous A meri- 
can shade tree is at its best when planted in the parks 
and broad streets of the New England states, where 
specimens are found more than 100 yrs. old. Yet it 
succeeds equally as well throughouth the South. 8-10 
ft. $3.00 each, $33.00 per dozen; 10-12 ft. $4.00 each,

Chinese Elm 
Chinese Elm 
(ULMUS PUMILA) 
A comparatively new type of Elm in 
this country. However, it has been 
used for ornamental purposes for hun- 
dreds of years in China, having been 
imported from Siberia. It resembles 
the American Elm, but is more com- 
pact, has finer branches, less spread, 
and does not grow to be as large a tree. 
Suitable for streets, on home grounds, 
and other places where a fast growing, 
medium size tree is desired. Sends its 
roots deep into the soil, interfering 
very little with the grass. One of the 
fastest growers of all shade trees: also 
one of the first to come out in leaf in 
the Spring and the last to lose its foli- 
age in the Fall. Fach Doz.

age is studded with purplish pistillate

MAPLE (Acer). This group of shade trees is well known 
and extensively planted, since the Maples can be sat- 
isfactorily grown in a large part of this country. 
There are numerous varieties. We offer only the 
most popular ones as follows: 
Norway (Acer platanoides). Especially suited for 
street planting and on the grounds of small homes. 
As it makes only a medium size tree, can be used 
where space does not permit the use of the larger 
trees like the Sugar Maple and American Elm. Large, 
dark green foliage; dense, spreading. A medium 
grower. (See illustration.) 6-8 ft. $2.75 each, $30.00 
per dozen; 8-10 ft. $3.75 each, $40.00 per dozen; 
2-3in. caliper, $7.50 each, $77.50 per dozen; 3-34 in. 
caliper, $10.00 each, $110.00 per dozen, $850.00 per 
100; 344-4 in. caliper, $15.00 each, $165.00 per dozen; 
4-5 in. caliper, $22.50 each, $225.00 per dozen. 
Scarlet (Acer rubrum). A medium grower. Light 
green foliage, turning to scarlet in the Fall. Not quite 
as dense as the Norway. 6-8 ft. $3.00 each, 8-10 ft. 
$4.00 each. 
Schwedler’s (Acer schwedleri). Resembles the Nor- 
way. The foliage is blood-red in the Spring, gradu- 
ally turning to a dark green during the Summer. 
5-6 ft. $2.50 each, 2-2% in. caliper, $7.50 each; 
214-3 in. caliper, $10.00 each. 
Silver (Acer dasycarpum). Especially popular be- 
cause of being a fast grower. Light green foliage, 
slightly silvery underneath. Trees grow to be larger 
and more spreading than the Norway and should be 
given more space. An excellent tree for broad streets 
and large home grounds, as well as 
useful for public parks. 6-8 ft. $2.25 
each, 8-10 ft. $3.00 each, $32.50eper 
dozen; 10-12 ft. $3.75 each, $40.00 per 
dozen; 24%-3 in. caliper, $6.50 each, 
3-4 in. caliper, $9.00 each; 4-5 in. 
caliper, $17.50 each. 
Sugar (Acer saccharum). A native of 
the East, found growing in forests. In 
some localities the trees are tapped for 
the sugar water, which is boiled into 
syrup and maple sugar. -Tall, pyram- 
idal shape, requiring more space than 
its cousin, the Norway. 6-8 ft. $3.00 
each; 8-10 ft. $4.00 each. 
OAK (QUERCUS). For permanent shade 
few varieties excel the Oaks, which 
are long-lived, sturdy and stately. 
There are many varieties of Caks. 
We attempt to offer only the most 
useful shade and oranmental varie- 
ties. The Oaks are more difficult to 
transplant than some other varieties 
of shade trees and are slower in be- 
coming established after being trans- 
planted, but after once established 
are reasonably fast growers and be- 
come more valuable with age. 
Black. Large, dark, glossy green foliage. 
turning tolovely Autumn tints. 6-8 ft, 
$3.50 each, 8-10 ft. $4.50 each. 
Laurel (Quercus laurifolia). Grows 
naturally from Virginia to Florida. 
Shining, dark green leaves semi-ever- 
green. 5-6 ft. $3.00 each, 6-8 ft. 
$4.00 each; 8-10 ft. $6.00 each.
