- Brand’s Ornamental Trees 
BIRCH, Cut-Leaf Weeping 
We have always considered this one of 
the most graceful as well as among the 
most beautiful of all the ornamental trees 
of the weeping type. It seems to fit in 
anywhere it is planted, and after it is 
once established its owner seems to love 
it as no other tree. A beautiful upright 
growing tree with long, slender, grace- 
fully weeping branches. The leaves are 
delicately cut, the bark a brownish green

ELM, Brand 
Here at the nursery we call this tree 
THE BIG ELM. This is a grand speci- 
men of a native Elm tree (White Elm), 
growing on the nursery grounds not far 
from our ofhce. Every one who sees it 
wonders at its immense size and all- 
around beauty. The tree has a limb 
spread of 108 feet. The trunk is about 
12 feet high from which point the limbs 
spring and spread in all directions, form- 
ing a. perfect enclosed tent, the limbs 
drooping in all directions and touching 
at first, gradually turning to a pure glis- 
tening white.

MAPLE, Schwedler 
This is the beautiful Red Maple. The 
trees have the same beauty of growth 
that our native hard Maple has. But in 
the spring from the time growth starts 
the ground. It has been viewed by peo- 
ple from nearly every State in the Union 
and everyone has pronounced it the most 
beautiful Elm they ever saw. It is a big- 
leaved tree. We have about 100 trees 
propagated from this, the original tree. 
The tree is about 100 years old and was 
growing here on the nursery grounds 
when this property was patented from 
the government.

ELM, Lake City 
The Lake City Elm is a selection made 
at Lake City, Minnesota, of a very fine 
specimen of the American White Elm, 
the greatest ornamental tree we have in 
America. The tree selected was a re- 
sible to shade the trunk and save the tree from sun-scald. Most people trim markably beautiful tree. All propagating has been from this one 
their Schwedler Maples up too high. This causes sunscald and spoils the SPecimen So the young trees will all be like this one parent when 
when they are mature. 
Straight No. 1 trees, 4 to 5 ft., $1.25 each; 2 for $2.25. 
Select 5 to 6 ft. trees, $1.75 each; 2 for $3.25.

POPLAR, Norway 
If one wishes a fast growing tree, plant the Norway Poplar. It develops Lake City Elm 
into a very large tree in about five years. They should be given plenty of 
room and should be at least 40 ft. apart. In our section of the country it 
grows so fast it is called the “Sudden Saw Log.” It is a great windbreak tree.

Lombardy Poplar 
- POPLAR, Lombardy 
This tree is very similar in growing 
habit and appearance to the Bolleana 
Poplar. This is a green-leaved tree and 
one that is almost universally used as an 
accent tree in ornamental yard planting. 
In our-section of the country we have 
found it hardier than the Bolleana.

WILLOW, Weeping 
(Golden Niobe) 
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 because of its rich yellow bark, 
which makes it very conspicuous. Abso- 
lutely hardy here in Minnesota. One of 
the most effective of all trees for real 
ornamental effect. 
5 to 6 ft. trees, $1.50; 6 to 8 ft., $1.75
