GRAFTED TO PERPETUATE QUALITIES y 
BLAIR MAPLE. A superior type of the 
common Maple perpetuated by graft- 
ing. More upright habit of growth 
with shorter, stronger limbs, and 
less subject to storm injury. Origi- 
nal tree found at Blair, Nebr. Hardy 
except in the extreme Northwest. 



SILVER MAPLE. This 1s our common soft 
maple. Rapid grower. Should not be 
confused with Stiver Poplar. 
SUGAR MAPLE. Hard Maple, Iowa type. 
A peautiful stately tree. A desir- 
able shade tree where it does well. 
Fall coloring of leaves 18 gorgeous. Hardy in eastern Nebraska, 
East and South. 
SCHWEDLER MAPLE. The Schwedler Maple's beautiful leaves attract 
attention at all seasons, but are especially fine in spring when 
their gleaming red and purple leaves contrast brightly with the 
delicate green of other trees. In midsummer they are purplish- 
green. In autumn, golden yellow. Hardy in eastern Nebraska, East 
and South. A grafted tree. 

CHINESE ELM. Especially adapted to dry plains. Thrives on ary 
poor soils where few other trees do. It comes in leaf very early 
in spring and holds its foliage late in fall. Grows very rapidly, 
almost as fast as cottonwood. Untrimmed {it makes a splendid wind- 
break and does it quickly. When trimmed it makes a suitable shade 
tree with slender, almost wiry branches. 
MOLINE ELM. Foliage similar to the American Elm, only somewhat 
larger. Bark is smooth and glossy. Trees grow more compact and 
upright. Propagated by grafting so all Moline are uniform in 
shape. In great demand as a street tree. Adapted to all the 
plains except northwest Nebraska, Wyoming and west and north 
Parts of South Dakota. 
VASE ELM. A particular attractive vase type of American Elm, 
propagated by grafting, which results in all trees being of uni- 
form habit and growth. They are hardy. 
SHEYENNE ELM. Is a graceful elm with a moderate top spread and 
attractive foliage. The original tree from which we secured our 
wood for grafting is growing in central North Dakota where it 
grew from seed. It has made a rapid growth and has withstood the 
North Dakota low temperatures and dry conditions without injury. 
Should be planted for shade and ornamental purposes in western 
Nebraska, Wyoming and the Dakotas. 
MARSHALLS POPLAR. A stately native Nebraska yellow cottonwood. 
Propagated from a staminate (male) parent, bearing no cottony 
seed, therefore doing away with the nuisance of scatterftng cottm 
This species of cottonwood.(opulus) has straight grain wood and 
is valuable for box lumber. Its chief value for the plains 
states, however, is for its use as a shade and protective tree; 
it*°grows upright with a straight body and extends its limbs into. 
a wide symmetrical top. It is the most stately tree adapted to 
the West and has the ruggedness to withstand all conditions. 
VOLGA POPLAR. Similar to the Lombardy Poplar, but better for the 
West. The tree grows upright and is used both for high plant- 
ings and for screening purposes. Approximate limb spread, 6 to 
8 feets; height, 20 to 50 feet:
