How Are You Fixed For SHADE? 
LOMBARDY POPLAR. ..Most dramatic and prominent of all trees... 
Very tall and slender, but completely solid with many upright bran- 
ches and handsome, shiny foliage. Ultimate height 80-100 feet, but 
still very slender. Resembles a gigantic exclamation point in the land- 
scape. Excellent for tall hedges, backgrounds, windbreaks, screens and 
other dramatic use in rows; also gorgeous standing alone as a 
specimen tree. Fast growing...makes a grand show! 
6-8’ trees. . .$1.35 each; 6 for $7.30 
GOLDEN WEEPING WILLOW... . Fastest growing tree of all...grows 
as much as 5 or 6 feet in a single year. Long, slender branches ‘weep’ 
down toward the ground in sweeping grace. Bright golden yellow bark 
and graceful form make this a favorite landscape tree. Very vigorous; 
grows well anywhere, but prefers moist ground. 
6-8’ trees...$2.95 each; 3 for $7.95 
3-4’ trees...$1.25 each; 3 for $3.40 
CHINESE ELM...Another particularly fast growing shade tree. Well 
shaped, and excellent wherever shade is needed. This variety grows 
more rapidly than any other of the usual types of shade trees. Very 
hardy and vigorous; not particular as to soil or exposure. 
6-8 ft. trees. ..$2.50 each; 3 for $6.75 
SILVER MAPLE...Fastest growing of all the maple trees. Foliage 
silvery underneath. Very satisfactory where quick effect is needed. 
Gets to a height of 50-60’, but they break easily when they’re big. 
6-8’ trees. ..$2.49 each; 3 for $6.75 
EUROPEAN LINDEN...Grows slowly and steadily, to become one of 
the most stately and richest of all shade trees. Broad, dense trees 50-60 
ft. tall not uncommon. Small, dark glossy foliage. 6-8’ tree. . .$4.00 ea. 
EUROPEAN MOUNTAIN ASH...Somewhat small trees covered with 
clusters of flashy orange berries from August to frost. Very decorative 
and ornamental, but attains a height of only 25’. 6-8’ trees. . .$4.00 ea. 
PIN OAK...Here is my own favorite of all Nature’s gorgeous trees! 
And also the fastest growing of all oaks. Very symmetrical, well- 
balanced shape...almost like a giant cone. Branches very angular, 
tight and close together. Main branches come out straight from the 
trunk, and then as they become larger and heavier, they begin to 
droop toward the ground. Gorgeous coppery red in Fall. Ultimate 
height 50-60 ft. for mature trees. For immediate shade and fast soft 
growth, plant willows and Chinese Elms...but for really permanent 
street tree plantings that your children and grandchildren will thank 
you for...by all means plant Pin Oaks! 
6-8’ trees. . .$4.95 each; 3 for $13.50 
NORWAY MAPLE...Compact, well-shaped maples of steady, regular 
growth. Dense, rich foliage; gorgeous fall coloring. 6-8’ trees. . .$3.50 
SUGAR MAPLE...When artists want a stately shade tree, they in- 
variably paint Sugar Maples. Broad, massive heads of interesting, 
slightly irregular shape. Eventual height 50-60’. These are the lovely 
big trees you see in front of old houses throughout all New England, 
where they were called ‘Bride’ trees. It was once the custom for newly- 
weds to plant sugar maples in front of their new homes the first 
planting season after the wedding. If you have a new home, plant a 
row of ‘Bride’ trees... THEY’LL BRING YOU GOOD LUCK! 
6-8’ trees. ..$3.50 each; 3 for $9.45
