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 
growers, 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-

Weeping Birch

used for ornamental purposes for hun-

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

than its cousin, the Norway. 6-8 ft. $3.00 
each; 8-10 ft. $4.00 each.

varieties excel the Oaks, which are long-lived, 
sturdy and stately. There are many varie-

most useful shade and ornamental varieties. 
The Oaks are more difficult to transplant 
than some other varieties of shade trees and 
are slower in becoming established after be-

are reasonably fast growers and become 
more valuable with age.
