SHADE TREES ~— 

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 ex- 
cellent shade, yet not so dense as to destroy the grass beneath the branches. Suitable for 
street and campuses, as well as on lawns where space permits. 8-10 ft. $3.50 each, $36.00 
per dozen; 10-12 ft. $4.50 each, $48.00 per dozen; 2-2 4% in. caliper $7.50 each; 214-3 in. 
caliper $10.00 each, 3—4 in. caliper $15.00 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 burlapped speci- 
mens. 4-5 in. caliper, B&B, $50.00 each; 5-6 in. caliper, B&B, $75.00 each; 6-7 in. cali- 
per, B&B, $100.00 each. 
BIRCH (BETULA), Cutleaved Weeping (Betula alba pendula laciniata). A slender 
tree with white bark, gracefully weeping branches, fernlike cut leaves, all of which com- 
bine to make it one of the most beautiful trees. May be used as specimen or in groups 
with other varieties. (See illustration.) 8-10 ft. $4.50 each, 10-12 ft. $6.00 each, 2-214 
in. caliper B&B $20.00 each, 2144-3 in. caliper $27.50 each. 
European White (Betula alba). White bark, larger leaves and stiffer branches than the 
weeping type, but a good shade tree as well as effective in group plantings. 8-10 ft. 
$4.00 each, 10-12 ft. $5.00 each, 2-2 14 in. B&B, $17.50 each, 2 4-3 in. B&B $25.00 each. 
BIRCH, Yellow (Betula lutea). One of the finest forest trees, especially in the New Eng- 
land states. Bark silvery grey with a tinge of orange. Dark green foliage turning to bril- 
liant golden in Autumn; ideal for planting near streams. 6-8 ft. $3.00 each. 
BUCKTHORN (Rhamnus). Desirable shade tree, as well as ornamental because of its 
red berries turning black when fully ripe. 8-10 ft. $3.50 each, 10-12 ft. $4.50 each. 
CATALPA bungei (Umbrella Catalpa). Small, umbrella-like tree, suitable where space 
is limited. Seldom grows higher than 10 to 12 ft., with an umbrella-like spread equaling 
the height. 4-5 ft. $3.00 each, 5-6 ft. $4.00 each. 
Speciosa (Western Catalpa). Fast growing, open top tree, popular where quick effect 
is required. 6-8 ft. $2.00 each, 8-10 ft. $2.75 each, 10-12 ft. $3.50 each, 2-214 in. 
caliper $6.00 each. 
ELMS (Ulmus). The Elm comprises one of the best known and most practical groups of 
shade trees, being adapted to almost all kinds of soil and climate. Easily transplanted 
and reasonably fast growers. 
American (UlImus americana). This famous American shade tree is at its best when 
planted in the parks and broad streets of the New England states where specimens are 
found more than 100 years old. Yet it succeeds equally as well throughout the South. 
6-8 ft. $2.75 each, $30.00 per dozen; 8-10 ft. $3.50 each, $36.00 per dozen; 10-12 ft.

ELMS, Moline (Ulmus Moline). A fast growing, erect type of the American Elm. Used 
in spaces too small to permit use of the more spreading types. 6-8 ft. $3.00 each, 8-10 ft. 
$4.00 each; 10-12 ft. $5.00 each. 
GINKGO biloba (Maidenhair Tree). An old variety; is still in demand. 5-6 ft. $3.00 each.

iper B&B, $30.00 each. 
Sweet (Liquidambar styraciflua). Medium size, reason- 
ably fast growing shade tree with odd, corklike bark. 
Large green leaves during the Summer, turning to beau- 
tiful golden and scarlet in the Fall, making it a very satis- 
factory shade tree but like the Sour Gum, is difficult to 
transplant. 4-6 ft. $2.25 each, 6-8 ft. $3.50 each, 8-10 ft. 
B&B $10.00 each, 2-2% in. caliper B&B, $20.00 each.
