Soft or Silver Maple Acer Sacchar- 
: inum. Another 
hardy native upland tree, almost as popular 
in the Midwest. as the American Elm. It is 
a rapid grower, and by planting our Soft 
Maples you will get husky, well-shaped trees 
of which you will be proud at all times. Do 
not mistake the Silver Maple for a white- 
leaved tree, as the foliage of the Silver Ma- 
ple is light green above and of greenish-gray 
color underneath, deeply cut. The trees with 
the leaves of silvery white underneath are 
Poplars (Belleana and Silver Poplars). Prices 
of our Soft Maples are for strictly first class 
trees. 5 to 6 ft. trees, $1.35 each; pair, $2.40. 
Maple, Sugar or Hard Maple 
Acer Saccharum makes a large pyramidal 
tree with large, handsome foliage of rich, 
pleasing green, turning red in the fall. Very 
hardy, although it is not a rapid growing 
tree for the Middle West. It is a long lived 
tree. Nice 5 to 6 ft. trees, each, $2.75; pair, 


$4.90.

Maple, Norway iirdy tree of maijes- 
tic form, perfect outline of the crown. It is 
a hardwood tree, leaves very large, deep

Magnolia Cucumber Tree. Considered 
one of the hardiest of all the Magnolias, 
succeeding as far north as Central Illinois, 
Missouri, and Southeastern Nebraska in fair- 
ly protected locations. The tree is a very 
tall grower, with large leaves, and blooming 
in May and June, color of blossoms is yel- 
low. We are listing this tree in response to 
a very strong demand by many of our cus- 
tomers who wish to try a hardy type of 
Magnolias. 4 to 5 ft. trees, straight, not 
branched, 75c each. 
pomiferum. 
Toxylon 
Osage Orange weed largely for live- 
stock fences, due to its thorny branch sys- 
tem. See hedges, page 41. It is a slow 
growing tree, reaching medium height, and 
is sometimes planted as single specimen for 
its healthy green foliage. It is of very spe- 
cial value for its hard wood. For wood-lot 
plantings with other trees it will be found 
very profitable. 12 to 18 inch strong plants, 
100 for $2.50, prepaid. 
PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS | Norway Maple 
Same as for planting fruit trees. The holes must be dug deep and wide enough to allow 
plenty of room for all the roots, without cramping them. Digging the tree holes a few 
_inches deeper than really necessary permits the filling in of loose soil in the bottom, in 
which the new rooting will take place quicker and surer. Soil to be used in the bottom, 
as well as around the roots of the tree, must not contain fresh fertilizer of any kind. 
Use good ordinary garden soil which has been under some kind of cultivation before.
