MAPLE (Acer). This group of shade trees is well known and extensively planted since the 
Maples can be satisfactorily grown in a large part of this country. . There are numerous 
varieties. We offer only the most choice ones as follows: 
Norway (Acer platanoides). Especially suited for street planting and on the grounds of 
small homes. As it makes only a medium size tree, can be used where space does not 
permit the use of the larger trees like the Sugar Maple and American Elm. Large, dark 
green foliage; dense, spreading. A medium grower. 6-8 ft. $3.00 each, $33.00 per doz.; 
8-10 ft. $4.00 each, $45.00 per doz.; 2—3 in. caliper, $10.00 each; 4—5 in. caliper $25.00 each 
Scarlet (Acer rubrum). A medium grower. Light, green foliage turning scarlet in Fall; 
not quite as dense as Norway. 5-6 ft. $2.75 each, 6-8 ft. $3.50 each, 8-10 ft. $4.50 each. 
Schwedler’s (Acer platancides schwedleri). Leaves bright reddish purple in Spring turn- 
ing deep green later in season. Splendid lawn variety. 5-6 ft. $3.00 each. 
Silver (Acer dasycarpum). Especially popular because of being a fast grower. Light green 
foliage slightly silvery underneath. Trees grow to be larger and more spreading than the 
Norway and should be given more space. An excellent tree for broad streets and large 
home grounds as well as useful in public parks. 6-8 ft. $2.50 each, 8-10 ft. $4.50 each, 
$39.00 per doz.; 3-4 in. caliper, $17.50 each; 4-5 in. caliper, $25.00 each. 
Sugar (Acer saccharum). A native of the East, found growing in forests. In some locali- 
ties the trees are tapped for the sugar water which is boiled into syrup and maple sugar. 
Tall pyramidal shape requiring more space than its cousin, the Norway. 6-8 ft. $3.50 
each, 8-10 ft. $4.50 each, 10-12 ft. $6.00 each. 

OAK (Quercus). For permanent 
shade few trees excel the Oaks, 
which are long-lived, sturdy 
and stately. There are many 
varieties of Oaks. We attempt to offer only those most useful for shade and orna- 
mental effect. The Oaks are more difficult to transplant than some other varieties 
of shade trees and are slower in becoming established, but after once estab- 
lished, are reasonably fast growers and become more valuable with age. 
Austrian Turkey (Quercus cerris laciniata). Serrate leaves, gray underneath. 
Tree slow grower, reaching 100 ft. when matured. Difficult to transplant. 6-8 ft. 
$3.50 each, 8-10 ft. $4.50 each, 10-12 ft. $6.00 each. 
Black. Large, dark, glossy green foliage turning to lovely Autumn tints. 5-6 ft. $2.50 
each, 6-8 ft. $3.50 each, 8-10 ft. $4.50 each. 
Laurel (Quercus laurifelia). Grows naturally from Virginia to Florida. Shining, 
dark green leaves, semi-evergreen. 6-8 ft. $4.00 each, 8-10 ft. $6.00 each, 2-21% in. 
caliper, B&B, $20.00 each. 
Chestnut (Quercus montana). Tall, rather slender grower with foliage less dense 
than Pin Oak. Most useful when planted in groups with other varieties. 6-8 ft. 
$3.50 each, 8-10 ft. $4.50 each, 10-12 ft. $6.00 each, 214-3 in. caliper, $12.00 each. 
Pin (Quercus palustris). The most extensively planted of all Oaks, because it lends 
itself better as a shade tree for narrow streets and small home grounds. Also useful 
in parks, bordering driveways and almost anywhere a medium size shade tree is 
required. A very uniform, pyramidal grower. Large, glossy green foliage, turning 
to red in Fall—making the tree ornamental as well as affording desirable shade. 
5-6 ft. $2.50 each, 6-8 ft. $3.50 each, $39.00 per doz.; 8-10 ft. $4.50 each, $51.00 
per doz.; 214-8 in. caliper, $12 00 each. 
Red (Quercus rubra). Another good Oak which makes a beautiful shade tree from 
the time it is established on lawn or street. Grows to be very old and a giant in the 
forest. When planting a tree as a lasting memorial, we recommend Red Oak as being 
one of the best. Has large, glossy green foliage which turns scarlet in the Fall. 5-6 ft. 
$2.50 each, 6-8 ft. $3.50 each, 8-10 ft. $4.50 each, 10-12 ft. $6.00 each, 2-214 in. 
caliper, $9.00 each; 214-3 in. caliper, $12.00 each.

6-8 ft. $3.50 each.

general appearance and habit of growth. Foliage somewhat more 
serrated and turns to a more uniform red in Autumn. A beautiful,

White (Quercus alba). The well known, native American White 
Oak. Rather difficuit to transplant, but makes a beautiful tree, 
especially when planted in groups in parks or on large estates.

foliage. Beautiful ornamental tree but rather difficult to transplant.

Dear Sirs
