SHADE TREES 
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 oi 
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. 5-6 ft. $2.50 each, 6-8 ft. $3.50 each, 
8-10 ft. $4.50 each, 214-3 in. caliper $12.00 each. 
~~ Scarlet (Acer rubrum). A medium grower. Light, green foliage turning scarlet in Fall; not 
quite as dense as Norway. 5-6 ft. $2.50 each, 6-8 ft. $3.50 each, 8-10 ft. $4.50 each, 
10-12 ft. $6.00 each. 
Schwedler’s (Acer platanoides schwedleri). Leaves bright reddish purple in Spring turn- 
ing deep green later in season; splendid lawn variety. 5—6 ft. $3.00 each, 6—8 ft. $4.00 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. $3.50 each, 
10-12 ft. $5.00 each, 3-4 in. caliper, $17.50 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.

each, 6-8 ft. $4.00 each, 8-10 ft. $5.00 each, 10-12 ft. $6.50 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 ornamental effect. The Oaks are more difficult to transplant 
than some other varieties of shade trees and are slower in becoming established. Oriental Plane 
Reasonably fast growers and become more 
valuable with age.

grower, reaching 100 ft. when matured. Diffi- 
cult to transplant. 6-8 ft. $3.50 each, 8-10 ft.

planted of all Oaks because it lends itself better 
asa shade tree for narrow streets and small home 
grounds. Also useful in parks, bordering drive- 
ways and almost anywhere a medium size shade 
tree is required. A very uniform, pyramidal 
grower; large, glossy green foliage, turning to

as affording desirable shade. 5—6 ft. $3.00 each,

GAK, Red (Quercus rubra). 
Another good Oak which makes 
a beautiful shade tree from the

Oak as being one of the best.
