Add beauty, comfort and value 
NIOBE WEEPING WILLOW— 
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 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 conspicu- 
ous. Absolutely hardy here in Minnesota. 
6-8 ft., $2.00; 8-10 ft., $2.75. 
AMERICAN WHITE BIRCH— 
The White Birch is a medium sized tree 
native in Minnesota. The bark is particu- 
larly interesting and attractive when 
planted near evergreens and red barked 
shrubs. 6-8 ft., $2.50. 
CUT-LEAF WEEPING BIRCH— 
You simply couldn't find a more beautiful 
or graceful tree than this Weeping Birch, 
with white bark, long drooping branches, 
and tiny finely cut leaves. It is effective 
when used in groups of two or three. Grows 
to about 40 to 60 feet. 5-6 ft., $3.00; 6-8 ft., 
$4.50; 8-10 ft., $6.00. 
MAPLE, Silver or Soft— 
A good appearance and rapid growth 
make this tree very popular where an im- 
mediate effect is required. 6-8 #t., $1.50; 
8-10 it., $2.00; 142-2 inch, $3.00. 
MAPLE, Hard or Sugar— 
This is one of the most beautiful of shade 
or boulevard trees. It is stately in all sea- 
sons, but truly gorgeous in fall when its 
dense leaves are brilliant yellow, orange 
and scarlet. For beauty and permanence 
Hard Maple cannot be surpassed. 6-8 ft., 
$4.00; 8-10 ft., $5.00; 1%4-2 inch, $12.00. 
MAPLE, Norway— 
Well liked tor its pleasing and familiar 
symmetrical dome-shaped head. Its dense 
leaves are rich green in color and hold on 
the tree fully two weeks longer in the fall 
than those of other Maples. One of the best 
for lawn or boulevard planting where good 
form and shape are needed. 8-10 #., $4.00. 
SCHWEDLER’S MAPLE— 
Brilliant purplish red leaves in spring 
make a rich contrast with the green of other 
trees; gradually the highly colored leaves 
soften to bronze, then later to waxy green. 
A magnificent lawn tree. 5-6 ft., $5.00; 6-7 
ft., $6.00. 
HACKBERRY— 
One of the fine trees for shade or boule- 
vard planting. It grows quite rapidly, to a 
uniform shape. It is extremely hardy and 
develops strong crotches. An interesting 
tree as a specimen or in a background 
planting. 6-8 ft., $1.50; 8-10 ft., $2.50; 10-12 
ft., $3.50. 
MOUNTAIN ASH, Red Berried— 
One of the most ornamental trees you can 
possibly plant. The foliage is a beautiful 
green. Light, smooth bark, a broad head 
very compact, with gorgeous creamy white 
blossoms in the spring, followed by the 
many, many clusters of scarlet and carmine 
berries in the late summer and fall. It grows 
rapidly and attains a height of about 30 to 
40 feet. 6-7 ft., $2.00; 7-8 ft., $3.00. 
AMERICAN ELM— 
A magnificent tree, growing 60 to 80 feet 
high, with drooping, spreading branches, 
one of the grandest of our native trees, 
makes a beautiful lawn or boulevard tree. 
The prices are for well shaped specimen 
trees. The measurement in inches means 
the diameter of the tree just above the 
ground. 6-8 ft., $1.50; 8-10 ft., $2.50; 10-12 
ft., $3.50; 142-2 inch caliper, $4.00: 2-2% 
inch, $6.00. 
LOMBARDY POPLAR— 
This is the Poplar that is so much used 
for avenue or background planting. They 
form tall stately columns of dark, shiny- 
green leaves. It succeeds on soil too poor 
for other trees, and grows rapidly. Widely 
used for screening and windbreak purposes 
because the foliage grows close to the 
ground. 6-8 ft., $1.00; 8-10 ft., $1.50; 10-12 ft., 
$2.50. 
LAKE CITY ELM— 
The original specimen of this variety was 
found growing in Lake City, Minnesota. It 
is a type of American Elm of unusual merit. 
Close, upright growth. Trees are all sym- 
metrical and uniform in shape, yet with 
sufficient spread to make it a valuable 
shade tree. It is especially adapted for 
boulevard planting as it does not have low 
spreading branches to interfere with travel 
on the sidewalk and pavement. 8-10 #t. 
trees, $3.00; 10-12 ft., $4.00. 
NORWAY POPLAR— 
The most rapid growing tree you can 
plant. Use this for windbreak or for a quick 
cae! shade tree. 4-5 ft., 75c; 10-12 ft., 
NORWAY MAPLE “CRIMSON KING”— 
About ten years ago a fascinating purple 
or maroon-leaved Norway Maple tree was 
sent to America from Europe. It created the 
same sensation over here as it did in 
Europe. Several specimens were propa- 
gated and planted along the East Coast as 
well as on the Pacific Coast for observation. 
The results have been most gratifying. It 
proved perfectly hardy and happy where 
Maples grew and it retained its magnificent 
leaf color throughout the entire summer. 
There are no large trees of this variety 
available yet, but we have secured a sup- 
ply of the 7-8 ft. unbranched trees. 7-8 ft. 
whips, $6.00 each.
