LAKE CITY ELM— 
The original specimen of this variety was 
found growing in Lake City, Minnesota.

merit. Close, upright growth. Trees are 
all symmetrical and uniform in shape, yet 
with sufficient spread to make it a valuable 
shade tree. It is especially adapted for 
boulevard planting as it does not have low 
spreading branches to interfere with travel 
on the sidewalk and pavement. 8-10 ft., 
$4.00. 
MOUNTAIN ASH, Red Berried— 
One of the most ornamental trees you can 
possibly plant. The foliage is a beautiful 
green. Light, smooth bark, a broad head 
very compact, with gorgeous creamy white 
blossoms in the spring, followed by the 
many, many clusters of scarlet and carmine 
berries in the late summer and fall. It 
grows rapidly and attains a height of about 
30 to 40 feet. 4-5 ft., $1.00; 6-7 ft., $2.50; 7-8 
ft., $3.50.

This is the Poplar that is so much used 
for avenue or background planting. They 
form tall stately columns of dark, shiny 
green leaves. It succeeds on soil too poor 
for other trees, and grows rapidly. Widely 
used for screening and windbreak purposes 
because the foliage grows close to the 
ground. 5-6 ft., 75c; 6-8 ft., $1.00; 8-10 ft., 
$1.50; 10-12 ft., $2.50.
