PLANT HARDY EGYPTIAN ORNAMENTAL TREES FOR SHADE AND 
BEAUTY AROUND YOUR HOME 

MAGNOLIA SOULANGEANA 
A very hardy Magnolia that is widely plant- 
ed as an ornamental shade tree. It is a 
beautifully shaped round tree, seldom grow- 
ing over ten feet tall. Branches sweep grace- 
fully down to almost touching the ground. 
Prized for its magnificent spring bloom when 
mammoth flowers—sometimes 6 to 8 inches 
across—almost cover the tree. Flowers are 
waxy, pure white tinged with purple and 
pink. A tree that is very easy to grow. 
RED DOGWOOD . 
A favorite flowering native tree that develops 
a low spreading and intricately branched 
top. Blooms heavily with masses of large 
bright red flowers. Leaves are rich dark 
green, turning in the fall to brilliant red, 
scarlet, orange and russet. Bright red ber- 
ries. Dogwood is very hardy and thrives 
even in the shade of other trees. Seldom 
grows more than 20 feet tall. 
SCARLET MAPLE 
A large, shapely, and long-lived tree that 
can be grown almost anywhere in America. 
Not as heavily leafed as most Maples. 
Grass can grow under it, making it an ideal 
lawn tree. In the autumn this is perhaps the 
most beautiful tree of all, as every leaf turns 
to a blazing scarlet. Tree flowers in the 
spring and then seeds. Summer foliage is a 
cool blue-green. 
FLOWERING PEACH 
(Prunus Persica.) One of the most beau- 
tiful flowering ornamental trees—not a fruit. 
Blooms in early spring with every branch 
and twig aglow with gorgeous double flow- 
ers of unforgettable brilliance. White or red. 



Tulip Tree 
RED LEAF PLUM 
A dwarf tree or shrub that makes an ideal 
specimen to contrast with a shrub border 
because of its dark red leaves which retain 
their color throughout the season. Pro- 
duces small red fruit late in the summer. 
Grows & to 10 feet high at maturity. 

PUSSY WILLOW 
A native American Willow that thrives 
best in moist ground, particularly near 
streams or pools. Exceedingly lovely in the 
spring when it is heavily laden with its dis- 
tinctive hairy gray catkins. Rarely grows 
over 20 to 25 feet high. Wide rounded 
top, numerous arching branches and short 
trunk. 
WHITE FLOWERING 
DOGWOOD 
A sturdy, fast-growing native tree that, 
although small, is most effective for dec- 
oration. Large white flowers appear in 
great clusters even before the tree leafs out 
in the spring. In the fall the leaves turn to 
brilliant orange, scarlet, and brown, and 
myriads of bright red berries form. A 
hardy tree that thrives almost everywhere. 
TULIP TREE 
One of the largest and handsomest native 
trees. Its trunk is of unsurpassed grandeur 
—usually is straight and round, and half 
the height of the entire tree before the first 
branches begin. Pyramidal shape when 
young but later forms an oblong head with 
rather short branches. Clean-cut leaves are 
shaped like a Tulip and it also blooms to 
produce white Tulip-like flowers of large 
size. Shining dark green leaves, slightly 
paler underneath, turn bright yellow in the 
fall. 

GOLDEN TWIG WEEPING 
WILLOW 
Lacy drooping branches and a soft golden 
bark makes this a truly lovely tree summer 
and winter. The foliage is dense, of a very 
clear dark green, that contrasts with the soft 
golden bark. Slender branches droop almost 
to the ground, making dense shade. A rapid 
grower and a hardy tree that thrives in moist 
rich soil. 
SCHWEDLER MAPLE 
Sometimes called the Purple Maple and 
noted for its gorgeous foliage. Its leaves 
are ruby-red in the spring, change to a pur- 
plish green and in the fall turn to brilliant 
red and purple. It is a beautifully sym- 
metrical and shapely tree that makes a lawn 
specimen that will live in beauty for genera- 
tions.
