TREES 

Caragana,Siberian Pea Tree 
An extremely hardy dwarf tree or shrub, 
originally from Siberia. The branches have 
small, sharp thorns. In the spring it bears 
in long clusters, 
similar to peas. It will grow anywhere 
and is perfectly hardy, even in Canada. 
We recommend it particularly for tall 
screens or hedges, as its habit of growth 
is upright, and stands shearing very well. 
It is ornamental, due to its pretty foliage 
and blossoms, as well as protective be- 
cause of its fine thorns. For hedge or 
screen, plant 18 inches to 3 feet apart in 
the row, using the small size trees. 12 to 
18-inch, 10 for 95c; 25 for $2.00; 100 for 
$7.00; prepaid. 
Hansen’s Purple Leaf Plum 
Prunus Cistena. 
son this is a most showy tree. 
Judas Tree. Cercis canaden- 
Red Bu sis. A very ornamental na- 
tive tree of medium size. Leaves are per- 
fectly heart-shaped, free from insects or 
plant diseases, and hardy as far north as 
Canada. Early in the spring, before the 
leaves appear, its branches are covered 
with small reddish-purple flowers. It pro- 
duces the first outdoor flowers of the spring 
throughout the Mid-West. Easy to grow, 
and should be planted much more freely, on 
the home grounds or in parks, wherever a 
nicely shaped tree of medium size can be 
used. Extra choice trees, 5 to 6-ft. size, 
$2.40 each; pair, $4.25. 
Wi Salix caprea. Also 
Pussy illow called Goat Willow. 
Small tree, or rather shrub, of very up- 
right, tall growth. Foliage light green and 
showy. In early spring, before the leaves 
appear, the branches are covered with the 
silky silvery catkins which are so pretty 
in bouquets. In the house, kept in a vase 
with water, the Pussy Willow twigs will 
remain fresh for weeks and retain the nice 
appearance. Trees of this kind, producing 
pretty cutting material for early spring 
bouquets are always the things the entire 
neighborhood loves and admires. Your 
home grounds are worth a few additions 
of such lovely spring bloomers as Pussy 
Willow, Flowering Crab and Red Bud.

The camera sim- 
ply cannot convey 
all the beauty 
brought forth by 
the true Hopa 
Crab. The nice 
shape of the tree, 
the exquisite 4r- 
rangement of the 
blossoms, the long 
blooming period in 
May, and the deep 
rose-crimsqn_ color 
can be appreciated 
only by seeirg the 
Hopa Crab in 
bloom, and. still 
better, by calling 
one your own, as a 
part of your lawn 
ornaments.
