SHADE TREES 
Due to so many new homes being built in Sheridan, and so many 
wishing to replace cottonwoods, we are carrying a much larger stock 
of shade trees than we ever have in previous years. You will note that 
we are carrying mostly the 5-6 ft. size. Our experience has taught us 
that this size transplants easier than the larger trees, and take root 
and grow faster. (These trees are too long to send by mail.) 
Other trees and larger sizes will be secured on special order if 
available. 
Norway Poplar—A fast growing, fine shade tree. Leaves similar 
to cottonwood, but has no cotton. 5-6 ft. size, each $1.00. 
Moline Elm—A very graceful growing type of American elm. , 5-6 
ft. size, each $1.75. 
European Mountain Ash—A splendid ornamental tree, especially 
beautiful in fall with its clusters of bright berries. 4-5 ft. size, 
each $2.25. 
Chinese Elm—A fast growing tree, widely used for shade, wind- 
break and hedge. If desired for shade, branches must be kept 
pruned from the time they are small. They withstand drought 
well, and do not want to be watered late in fall. These trees grow 
so fast, we have found it the most economical to plant good seed- 
lings and keep them pruned. You will get a shade tree practi- 
cally as soon as if you plant a larger tree, and at much less ex- 
pense. Selected 3-4 ft. seedlings, each 20c; 10 for $1.50. Selected 
5-6 ft. seedlings, each 35c; 10 for $8.00. (Also see “hedging’’.) 
Green Ash—A very hardy, clean, well-shaped tree. 5-6 ft. size, 
each $1.50. 
Cut Leaf Weeping Birch—An attractive ornamental tree. Silvery 
white bark, graceful drooping branches with deeply cut foliage. 
5-6 ft. size, each $3.00. 
Thornless Honeylocust—Fast growing tree of very pleasing appear- 
ance. 5-6 ft. size, each $1.75. 
American Linden—A fine pyrmidal shaped tree. While not a fast 
grower, it attains good size and makes an ideal tree for yard or 
curb. 5-6 ft. size, each $2.75. 
Norway Maple—A compact growing tree with broad dark green 
foliage. Very attractive. 5-6 ft. size, each $2.75.
