MAPLE, 
Schwedler 
This is the beautiful 
Red Maple. The trees 
have the same beauty of 
growth that our native 
hard Maple has. But in 
the spring from the time 
growth starts and for about 
six weeks, the tree is abso- 
Ituely red. One of our 
hardiest and most beauti- 
ful trees. To grow a good 
Schwedler Maple the limbs 
should be allowed to grow 
close to the ground. Have 
low limbs on the south 
side if possible to shade 
the trunk and save the tree 
from sun-scald. Most peo- 
ple trim their Schwedler 
Maples up too high. This 
causes sunscald and spoils 
the tree. We have just 
one size to offer this 
spring. 
6-8 ft. trees, $3.25 each;

We have always considered this one of the most graceful as well as 
very fine specimen of the American White Elm, the greatest ornamental 
among the most beautiful of all the ornamental trees of the weeping 
type. It seems to fit in anywhere it is planted, and after it is once estab- 
lished its owner seems to love it as no other tree. A beautiful upright 
tree we have in America. The tree selected was a remarkably/beautiful 
tree. All propagating has been from this one specimen so the young 
growing tree with long, slender, gracefully weeping branches. The trees will all be like this one parent when they are mature.

Lombardy Poplar POPLAR, Lombardy 
This tree is very similar in growing habit and appearance 
to the Bolleana Poplar. This is a green-leaved tree and 
one that is almost universally used as an accent tree in 
ornamental yard planting. In our section of the country 
we have found it hardier than the Bolleana.

WILLOW, Weeping 
(Golden Niobe) 
The golden Weeping Willow, the most beautiful in that 
species. Splendid as a lawn tree, for planting near pools or 
along the banks of streams. A graceful weeping tree with 
deep rich golden bark on trunk and along the long slender 
weeping branches. Hardiest of all the Weeping Willows. 
Very beautiful in the winter because of its rich yellow bark, 
which makes it very conspicuous. Absolutely hardy here 
in Minnesota. One of the most effective of all trees for 
real ornamental effect.
