For Shade and Beauty 
oe place is complete without trees. A home without trees is charmless; 
Ce road without trees is shadeless; a park without trees is purposeless; 
a country without trees is hopeless.” 
Wee hot summer sun beats down, you long for the welcome shade of a Maple, 
an Oak, or a broad-spreading Elm. But to have and enjoy such shade and 
shelter, you must plant ahead. The trees must be planted in fall or spring when the 
weather is cool. Then the roots take hold, the tree flourishes, and in a surprisingly 
few seasons the outspeading branches give the protection you desire. 
We can supply—at very low prices—large trees that will give immediate effect, 
as well as smaller specimens from 6 to 15 feet high, which need a little more time 
to develop after moving to your place. Our trees are well grown, root pruned, and 
transplanted several times; they are truly Hillenmeyer standard. 
“He Who Plants a Tree, Plants for Posterity”’ 
There is no warrior who'll fight for life 
More valiantly than a tree, : 
On rocky wind-swept ledge at mountain crests 
Or on the fiercely elemental coastline by the sea.

Acer - Maple 
ACER platanoides (Norway Maple). A vigorous, dense, round-headed tree, valuable for street or

Acer Platanoides Schwedleri— electric or telephone wires, causing little interference. Not available in 21/2 in. size. 
Schwedler Maple 
Aesculus - Horse-Chestnut 
AESCULUS carnea (Fed Horse-Chestnut). A 
handsome round-headed tree with red or 
scarlet flowers borne in panicles 6 to 8 
inches long. Much prized for this highly 
ornamental feature. Trees must be grafted 
and are rather scarce.

B. pendula alba (European White Birch). Tree 
of moderately quick growth, erect, with 
terminal branches slightly drooping. Bark 
almost white. As a specimen, and especially 
contrasted with evergreens, it makes a val- 
uable tree for the lawn. Prefers a moist 
place, but will do well in dry ground.

B. pendula laciniata (Cut-leaf European White 
Birch). A weeping form of the European 
White Birch. Inclined to be rather pyra- 
midal when young but as it matures de- 
velops a broad top. Its small, pendulous 
branches eventually almost touch the 
ground. Because of its deeply serrated 
leaves, white bark and weeping habit, it is 
one of our most highly prized trees for 
small lawns, cemetery lots, planted as a 
specimen or in groups,

A. platanoides schwedleri (Schwedler Maple).

spring the foliage is a bright purple, chang- 
ing to bronze and then to dull green. In 
the fall it turns bronze before defoliating. 
Not available in 21 in. size. 

A. rubrum (Red Maple). A native tree which 
is not appreciated and one of the most 
attractive as a lawn specimen. The current 
season’s growth is bright red in winter. 
Flowers and seed pods are red, appearing 
before the leaves, which in fall vie with 
the Oaks, Sassafras, Gum, Sumac, or Sugar 
Maples for magnificence in color. 
A. saccharum (Sugar Maple). Known every- 
where and extremely popular. The tree 
grows to great size, erect, conical form, is 
perfectly hardy, withstands any subnormal 
weather conditions, and is adaptable to 
nearly all types of soil. The tree yields 
valuable timber, as well as maple sugar. 
Foliage is deep green, turning to indescrib- 
able colors in the fall.

A. saccharinum (Silver Maple). Because of 
its quick growth and good foliage, this tree 
is in great demand. The leaves appear 
early in spring, are light green on the upper 
side, silvery beneath, and remain until late 
fall. Small flowers open before the leaves 
appear. For planting as temporary trees— 
that is, alternate between the hard-wooded 
and slower growers, such as Oaks, Elms, 
Sugar Maples, Gums, etc., the Silver Maple 
is highly recommended.
