SHADE AND FLOWERING TREES 
Fortunate indeed is the home-owner who starts his land- 
scaping on a site already containing an adequate number of 
shade trees of desirable varieties. But most of us have to 
provide our own trees and the following list contains much 
helpful information in making a proper selection. 
BIRCH (Betula) 
European White Birch (B. alba). A tall, graceful tree with 
spraylike branches and white bark which makes pleasing 
contrasts in summer or winter. 40 feet at maturity. 8-10 
ft., $2.75; 6-8 ft, $2.00; 5-6 ft., $1.50, each. 
Clump Form European White Birch. This variety is identical 
with the above except it is grown, in our nursery, with 
three treelike leaders or stems branched at the ground, 
giving a naturalistic effect as often seen in the woods. 
Very distinctive. 30 feet at maturity. $3.00 each. 
Pyramidal European White Birch (B. alba fastigiata). This 
is the pyramidal form of the regular Betula alba, having 
same foliage, and bark excepting it grows in a slender, 
upright form similar to Poplars, but more admired. 30 
feet at maturity. 5-6 ft., $3.00 each. 
Cutleaf Weeping Birch (B. alba pendula fastigiata). The 
Queen of all Birches is this unusually graceful, drooping 
tree; particularly adapted as a lawn specimen or in groups 
of three trees for outstanding background. The bark is 
very white. 50 feet at maturity. 7-8 ft., $3.50; 6-7 ft., $3.00; 
5-6 ft., $2.50, each.

parking tree, single specimen for the lawn or in mass plant- 
ings. 12 to 15 feet at maturity.
