CUTTING’S 

MAPLE, Silver or Soft— 
A good appearance and rapid growth 
make this tree very popular where an im- 
mediate effect is required. 6-8 ft., $1.25; 
8-10 ft., $2.00; 142-2 inch. $3.00. 
MAPLE, Hard or Sugar— 
This is one of the most beautiful of 
shade or boulevard trees. It is stately in all 
seasons, but truly gorgeous in fall when its 
dense leaves are brilliant yellow, orange 
and scarlet. For beauty and permanence 
Hard Maple cannot be surpassed. 6-8 ft., 
$2.50; 8-10 ft., $3.50; 142-2 in., $8.00. 
MAPLE, Norway— 
Well liked for its pleasing and familiar 
symmetrical dome-shaped head. Its dense 
leaves are rich green in color and hold on 
the tree fully two weeks longer in the fall 
than those of other Maples. One of the 
best for lawn or boulevard planting where 
good form and shape are needed. 8-10 ft., 
$4.00. 
SCHWEDLER’S MAPLE— 
Brilliant purplish red leaves in spring 
make a rich contrast with the green of other 
trees; gradually the highly colored leaves 
soften to bronze, then later to waxy green. 
A magnificent lawn tree. 7-8 ft., $4.00; 8-10 
ft., $6.00. : 
HACKBERRY— 
One of the fine trees for shade or boule- 
vard planting. It grows quite rapidly, to a 
uniform shape. It is extremely hardy and 
develops strong crotches. An interesting 
tree as a specimen or in a background 
planting. 6-8 ft., $1.50; 8-10 ft., $2.50; 10-12 
ft., $3.50. 
LOMBARDY POPLAR— 
This is the Poplar that is so much used 
for avenue or background planting. They 
form tall stately columns of dark, shiny- 
green leaves. It succeeds on soil too poor 
for other trees, and grows rapidly. Widely 
used for screening and windbreak purposes 
because the foliage grows close to the 
ground. 6-8 ft., $1.00; 8-10 ft., $1.50; 10-12 
ft., $2.50. 
LAKE CITY ELM— 
The original specimen of this variety 
was found growing in Lake City, Minne- 
sota. It is a type of American Elm of un- 
usual merit. Close, upright growth, insuring 
it against breaking down from sleet and 
storm and makes trimming unnecessary. 
Trees are all symmetrical and uniform in 
shape, yet with sufficient spread to make 
it a valuable shade tree. It is especially 
adapted for boulevard planting as it does 
not have low spreading branches to inter- 
fere with travel on the sidewalk and pave- 
ment. 8-10 ft. trees, $2.00; 11%2-2 inch, $4.00. 
MOUNTAIN ASH, Red Berried— 
One of the most ornamental trees you 
can possibly plant. The foliage is a beauti- 
ful green. Light, smooth bark, a broad head 
very compact, with gorgeous creamy white 
blossoms in the spring, followed by the 
many, many clusters of scarlet and carmine 
berries in the late summer and fall. It 
grows very rapidly and attains a height of 
about 30’to 40 feet. 5-6 ft., $1.25; 6-8 ft., 
$2.00; 8-10 ft., $3.00. 
NORWAY POPLAR— 
The most rapid growing tree you can 
plant. Use this for windbreak or for a quick 
temporary shade tree. One year, 3-4 ft. 
$10.00 per 100; transplanted trees, 6-8 ft., 
$1.25 each; 8-10 ft., $2.00. 
NIOBE WEEPING WILLOW— 
The golden Weeping Willow, the most 
beautiful in that species. Splendid as a 
lawn tree, for planting near pools or along 
the banks of streams. A graceful weeping 
tree with deep rich golden bark on trunk 
and along the long slender weeping 
branches. Hardiest of all the Weeping 
Willows. Very beautiful in the winter be- 
cause of its rich yellow bark, which makes 
it very conspicuous. Absolutely hardy here 
in Minnesota. 6-8 ft. $2.00.
