recommended more as an ornamental than 
a fruit-growing tree, although it is good

that the wood is red. The inner bark bright- 
er red, the new leaves are red and the 
flowers—which appear in immense clusters 
and masses over the entire tree—are a bright 
red, followed by the little crab apple—red 
from the time they start. These, hanging on 
and growing all summer; make it a real 
ornamental tree. The matured fruit is red 
to the core. First degree of hardiness.

NORWAY POPLAR. Sudden Saw Log. A very 
distinct tree in habit of growing and making 
a straight, upright, somewhat pyramidal 
head. The foliage is large, thickly borne, 
bright and glossy. It grows rapidly in 
almost every soil and yet it possesses 
strength and durability which most poplars 
lack. For city planting it is superior to 
most of the other poplars, as it withstands 
the effect of smoke and dust much better.

RUSSIAN OLIVE. A beautiful lawn tree, with 
spreading top; nearly black shining bark 
and silvery-white, long, narrow foliage. 
The small yellow blossoms have a wonderful 
appearance. The exquisite perfumes are car- 
ried long distances in the air. Fine if 
planted in a group with green leaved trees, 
among shrubbery, or as a lawn tree. Hardy 
as far north as Canada. It deserves a place 
in every park or garden. Should be much 
more largely planted. Can also be used as a 
hedge or screen, as it stands pruning or 
shearing well. 
4 to 5 feet, each, 80c.
