S. Niobe (Golden Weeping Willow). Grows like the 
Babylon Weeping Willow but has yellow branches. 
S. pentandra (Laurel Willow). A small, rapid growing 
tree with shining dark green foliage. Fine for speci- 
men or tall hedge, especially at seashore or in other 
exposed places, as it thrives anywhere. 
SORBUS americana (American Mountain Ash, Dog- 
berry). A small stocky tree with dark green, unusual 
and very distinctive foliage. Rather inconspicuous 
white blossoms in late spring, followed by large 
clusters of showy, bright red berries, remaining on 
the tree all summer. Once it is established, considered 
a great prize among native trees. Height, 30 feet. 
TILIA americana (American Linden, Basswood). A 
large, round-topped native tree of rapid growth. 
Foliage large and heart-shaped, producing dense 
shade. Very fine and popular for avenue planting. 
Its mid-June, showy flowers furnish one of the finest 
honey-pastures for bees, and the soft, very white 
timber is prized for manufacturing uses. 
T. cordata (Small-leaved Linden). Grows nearly 100 
feet tall. Much like other Lindens with small heart- 
shaped leaves. Latest to flower. 
T. vulgaris (Large-leaved European Linden). Magnificent 
shade trees for street or home grounds, often grow- 
ing to 120 feet. Resistant to diseases and insects. 
ULMUS Americana (American Elm). The commonest 
of elms and the stateliest—unsurpassed in size and 
majesty. Fits any place where shade and large trees 
are useful. Even as a small tree it is beautiful. For a 
perfect specimen the elm must stand alone, uncrowd- 
ed and unrobbed of moisture, sun or air. 
U. americana molini (Moline Elm). Smaller than Ameri- 
can but very desirable under certain conditions for 
this reason. Unlike American it has a central leader 
and conical head. 
U. pumila (Siberian Elm). A smallish tree, but of very 
rapid growth. Does well in hot, dry locations. 
Good for street plantings. 
FLOWERING TREES 
CERCIS Canadensis (American Redbud). A shrub-like 
tree with large, irregular head and perfect heart- 
shaped leaves. Derives its name Redbud from the 
profusion of delicate reddish pink blossoms with 
which it is covered in early spring before the foliage 
appears. One of the finest ornamental trees. Extreme 
height, 15 feet. 
CORNUS florida (Flowering Dogwood). One of the 
best flowering trees. Small (15 to 20 feet) but pic- 
turesque in its spreading, umbrel habit. Especially 
beautiful in spring when covered with mammoth 
white blossoms, yet equally so in fall when both 
foliage and berries are bright red. 
C. florida rubra (Red-flowering Dogwood). This is very 
similar to Cornus florida, the only difference being 
that the flowers are bright red. 
CRATAEGUS oxycantha pauli (Paul’s Double Scarlet 
Hawthorn). Pronounced the best of all. A small, 
spreading tree with flaming carmine red double flow- 
ers. Entirely hardy, thriving well in dry, unfavorable 
situations. Makes a very fine lawn tree or specimen 
planting. 
C. oxycantha alboplena. Same as above except double 
white flowers. 
MAGNOLIA Soulangeana (Saucer Magnolia). A 
very popular, hardy Chinese variety of vigorous 
growth, forming many branches. White flowers, 
tinted with violet or rose, appear in abundance 
even when the tree is quite small, contrasting strik- 
ingly with its glossy foliage. 
MALUS (Flowering Crab). 
M. ioensis plena (Bechtel Crab). A very hardy, shapely 
tree with spreading branches. Leaves dark green, 
turning yellow in autumn. Double pink flowers, great- 
ly resembling roses, and quite fragrant. Becoming 
more popular. 




White Flowering Dogwood 
M. floribunda (Japanese Flowering Crab). One of the 
best small trees, of profuse flowering habit. Bright 
pink buds followed by almost white flowers smother 
the tree before leaves form. Red fruit about the size 
of a pea. Entirely hardy. 
M. niedzwetzkyana (Red-veined Crab). Leaves, stem, 
bark, buds are all of a reddish tint. Appearance im- 
proves with age. 
M. theifera (Tea Crab). Grows 15 feet or more high. 
In the spring it is covered with rose pink buds which 
become blush white flowers. 
M. sargenti (Sargent’s Crab). Large shrub with white 
owers; scarlet fruit clinging nearly all winter. 
PRUNUS (Flowering Cherry, Etc.). 
P. cerasifera pissardi (Purpleleaf Plum). Very popular 
tree with handsome dark purple foliage after pink 
flowers in spring. 
P. cistena (Purpleleaf Sand Cherry). Foliage purple; 
somewhat more bushy than the above. 
P. sargenti (Sargent’s Cherry). Single. Large pink and 
white flowers. Foliage purple in spring turning 
green. Very hardy. 
P. serrulata, Kwanzan (Japanese Flowering Cherry). 
Flowers old rose, double, full. Grows to 20 feet. 
P. subhirtella (Weeping Japanese Cherry). Bright pink 
flowers. 
P. triloba (Flowering Plum). Resembles the flowering 
Almond. Delicate pink flowers in early spring fol- 
lowed by green foliage. Very popular.
