that Plants them « e« e 


POPLAR, SILVER BOLLEANA 
Foliage: deep green on upper leaf surface, complemented by spark- 
ling silver-white on the under side. Height: up to 80 feet. Use: 
windbreaks, border plantings for spacious lawns and fields, for 
lining roads and long, winding drives. 
Columnar in form, grows very rapidly and is most unique for its 
foliage color. It fairly “sparkles” in the slightest breeze. 

WILLOW, BABYLONICA WEEPING 
Foliage: narrow, light green leaves that seem to drip from the pendulous twigs. Height: 30 to 40 
feet. Use: for planting along watercourses and pools. 
They add resplendent grace and restful charm, planted individually or in groups overhanging a 
stream or pool. 
ELM, MOLINE 
Foliage: dark green, deeply veined and much 
larger than the ordinary Elm, Height: 60 ft. or 
more. Use: all around good tree for street plant- 
ing and for home grounds. 
Its conical shape and pyramidal growth makes 
it the “best” tree for narrow streets and small 
home grounds. As the tree ages it develops a 
natural arching form typical of the Elm family. 
It’s a fast grower and very long lived. 
RESTFUL SHADE 
WHEREVER 
YOU PLANT THEM 
LOMBARDY POPLAR 
(Nigra Italica) 
Foliage: round, attractive gray-green. Height: 
40 to 100 feet. Use: windbreak for build- 
ings and fields, border planting for spacious 
lawns, roads and long winding drives. 
It’s a tall, spirelike tree—‘‘the exclamation 
point of the landscape.” (For a dense bor- 
der or windbreak, plant 5 feet apart.)
