Silver Maple 
Acer dasycarpum. Fast growing large trees for quick shade or screen 
are often necessary. To fill this request, we can’t go wrong with Silver 
Maple. It is not really a wide spreading tree, but makes a generous 
top, well clothed in attractive maple foliage. The undersides of the 
leaves are silvery, hence the name, and lighten the color of the leaves 
8 to 10 ft, $3.25; 10 to 12 feet, $4.00. 
White Birch 
Betula alba. Not really a shade tree, this beautiful deciduous tree 
makes wonderful clumps for lawn planting with attractive white bark 
and light yellow-green leaves. The white trunks are more attractive 
if birch is planted in front of dark evergreen trees or shrubs. Before 
the leaves fall they assume a bright yellow color. Give plenty of water 
for better growth. 8 to 10 feet, $3.25; 10 to 12 fect, $4.00. 
Modesto Ash 
Fraxinus velutina glabra. A fast growing shade tree forming a dense 
rounded crown of deep green foliage. Modesto Ash was selected and 
propagated as a distinct variety because of its ability to shed dust 
during the dry rainless summer. It always has a clear neat appearance. 
Fast growing and requiring little water, it thrives equally well along 
the coast or inland. 8 to 10 feet, $3.25; 10 to 12 feet, $4.00. 
Sweet Gum 
Liquidambar styraciflua. This is the only tree to turn really bril- 
liant in fall. The maple-like leaves assume shades of crimson and 
scarlet, later becoming almost purple before falling. It makes a cone- 
shaped pyramidal crown well filled with foliage and not wide spread- 
ing. Thus it is ideal as a street tree, lawn specimen or even as a back- 
ground or shade tree for medium sized lots. 5-gallon $3.50. 
Sycamores 
Platanus orientalis, European Sycamore. One of the finest shade trees 
for lawns or street planting. Makes a fairly compact rounded head of 
maple-like leaves. The bark is attractive on the trunk and larger 
branches because the outer parts peel off, thus exposing the light 
colored inner bark. Sycamores are clean, neat growing trees suitable 
for refined plantings anywhere. They do appreciate generous watering, 
especially during growth. 8-10 ft., $3.25; 10-12 ft., $4.00. 
California Sycamore 
Platanus racemosa. A native tree and frequently seen as large, tall 
specimens with open branching crowns, and at other times as clumps 
of several trunks spreading in picturesque twisted fashion. A neat tree 
either in youth or in old age. 6-8 ft., $2.25; 10-12 ft., $4.00. 
Chinese Elm “© 
Ulmus pumila. A rapid growing shade tree similar to the evergreen 
elm but the branches are always more or less upright. 
deep green, well clothing the crown. They stay on until late in the 
Leaves small, 
year and return early in spring, giving a long season of dense shade. 
Chinese elm is a medium size tree, never getting very large either in 
height or spread. 8-10 ft., $3.25; 10-12 ft., $4.00.
