SHADE TREES 
To have healthy, sturdy Shade Trees, it is necessary for the trees to grow in soil suitable to their 
needs, to be transplanted frequently to improve root systems and to be pruned in order to encourage 
shapely growth. Here at Rosedale we do these things systematically so that you will receive fine, 
sturdy stock. In addition, we are particularly careful to plant our trees far enough apart in wide-spaced 
rows to permit lateral as well as upright growth. 
As an aid to your planning, we again make a few suggestions as to classifying these trees according 
to characteristics which when known might be helpful.

deep and wide enough to admit 
roots completely spread out. 
2. Loosen soil at bottom of hole 
and mix with a small amount_of 
Driconure. 
3. Place plant in hole the same 
depth as previously planted in nurs- 
ery. (Shows on trunk or main stem.) 
4. Cover roots with soil mixed 
with liberal amounts of Driconure, 
firming soil with feet. 
5. Complete filling hole with soil 
leaving catch basin effect at top to 
hold water. 
6. Water thoroughly twice a week.

ACER * Maple 
The Maples are universally popular. They 
are regular in outline, vigorous growers, beau- 
tiful in foliage, and adapt themselves to almost 
any soil. The Norway Maple is especially desir- 
able for street planting and thrives well near 
the sea. 
Palmatum atropurpureum (Redleaved Japanese 
Maple). A comparatively dwarf Maple, slow in 
growth and attaining ultimately about 20 ft. in

Sylvatica (European Beech). For screen or hedge, 
this Beech is ideal among deciduous trees. It gives 
nearly as much screen in Winter as in Summer, 
owing to the fact that the dead leaves persist in 
Winter. As it bears the shears well, it may be 
kept within bounds for hedge purposes and grows 
as dense as any hedge. All B&B. M

Gleditsia inermis (Thornless Honeylocust). This is 
a truly lovely tree. Its towering, spreading canopy 
of lace-like foliage is the epitome of light and airy 
grace. Freedom from insect pests is only one of its 
outstanding characteristics. Not entirely free from 
thorns but many less than the older form Triacan- 
thos. Hardy and long lived. This tree is the answer 
to problem of planting something different in a

Babylonica 

WHITE BIRCH 
QUERCUS °* Oak 
The Oaks, especially when they attain size, 
are the most picturesque of all trees, symbolizing 
strength and durability. Their reputation as slow 
growers is not warranted, for, when once estab- 
lished, they will make a yearly growth equal 
to that of almost any other species. 
Palustris (Pin Oak). A superb and distinct tree. The 
Pin Oak’s graceful, drooping branches support a 
mass of deeply lobed, sharply pointed leaves, 
changing to deep red in Autumn. Jack Frost has 
never shown greater skill than in the coloring he 
produces in Pin and Scarlet Oaks. M
