FLOWERING PEACHES, DOUBLE WHITE, DOUBLE PINK 
Sweet Gum 
Liquidambar styraciflua. This is the only tree to turn really bril- 
liant in fall. The maple-like leaves assume shades of crimson and 
scarlet, later becoming almost purple before falling. It makes a cone- 
shaped pyramidal crown well filled with foliage and not wide spread- 
ing. Thus it is ideal as a street tree, lawn specimen or even as a back- 
ground or shade tree for medium sized lots. 5-gallon or balled speci- 
mens, 4 to 5 feet, $3.75. 
Texas Umbrella 
Melia azedarach umbraculiformis. Just like an umbrella. Large and 
rounded. Splendid for shade. Grows fast too. You won't have to wait 
long to enjoy this one. Dense leaves and in summer beautiful lavender 
flowers. Grows well anywhere. 6-8’ $3.00. 
Sycamores 
Platanus orientalis, European Sycamore. One of the finest shade trees 
for lawns or street planting. Makes a fairly compact rounded head of 
maple-like leaves. The bark is attractive on the trunk and larger 
branches because the outer parts peel off, thus exposing the light 
colored inner bark. Sycamores are clean, neat growing trees suitable 
for refined plantings anywhere. They do appreciate generous watering, 
especially during growth. 6 to 8 ft. $2.25; 10-12 ft. $3.50. 
Platanus racemosa. A native tree and frequently seen as large, tall 
specimens with open branching crowns, and at other times as clumps 
of several trunks spreading in picturesque twisted fashion. The leaves 
are large and the individual lobes longer and more pointed than th2 
European Sycamore, although the bark has the same mottled appear- 
ance. A neat tree either in youth or in old age. 6-8 ft. $2.25; 10-12 
ft. $3.50.

ROSEDALE’S FLOWERING TREES 
Bechtel Crab 
Malus ioensis plena, Bechtel Crab. Quite different from any flower- 
ing tree with its large 2-inch double flowers set closely among the 
stems. $2.00 each. 
Purple Leaf Plum 
Prunus blieriana. Best of the purple leaf plums. For ornamental purple 
foliage it is very fine but the large double pink flower in early spring 
before the leaves gives the suggestion of double flowering peaches. 
Hardy and showy. $2.00 each. 
Flowering Peach 
Prunus persica, Flowering Peach. Flowering peaches are slightly later 
in season than the crabs. Like them, they are small trees laden 
with showy blooms before the leaves appear. Small specimen trees 
often spectacular when in bloom. $2.00 each. 
White, Pink (early or late), Red (early or late), Peppermint Stick 
(pink and white). 

Chinese Elm 
Ulmus pumila. A rapid growing shade tree similar to the evergreen 
elm but the branches are always more or less upright. Leaves small, 
deep green, well clothing the crown. They stay on until late in the 
year and return early in spring, giving a long season of dense shade. 
Chinese elm is a medium size tree, never getting very large either in 
height or spread. 8-10 ft. $2.25; 10-12 ft. $3.00.
