SHADE TREES 
Good shade trees afford both comfort and beauty and in some cases, bloom, fruit 
and Autumn coloring as well as serve as a screen or background for other plantings. 
The following selection of varieties has been made up with those qualities in mind. 
We, however, are listing separately under ‘Flowering Trees,’ a group planted 
especially for ornamental effect. Both groups are planted for shade. 
ASH, American White (Fraxinus americana). Strong growers, spreading and giving 
excellent shade, yet not so dense as to destroy grass beneath the branches. 
for street and campuses, as well as on lawns, where space permits. 6-8 ft., $3.00 each, 
$33.00 per doz.; 8-10 ft. $3.75 each, $42.00 per doz.; 10-12 ft., $5.00 each; 2-214 in. 
caliper, $8.00 each; 214-3 in. caliper, $12.00 each. 
BEECH, American (Fagus americana). This famous tree is denied more extensive 
use because of its being difficult to transplant. So we offer only balled and burlapped 
specimens. 4—5 ft., B&B, $8.00 each; 5-6 ft. B&B, $12.00 each; 6-8 ft., B&B, $18.00 
each. Write for quotations on larger B&B specimens. 
BIRCH (BETULA) Cutleaved Weeping (Betula alba pendula laciniata). 
Slender tree with white bark, gracefully weeping branches, fernlike cut 
leaves, all of which combine to make it one of the most beautiful trees. 
May be used as specimen or in groups with other varieties. 4-6 ft. 
$3.50 each, 6-8 ft. $4.50 each. 
European White (Betula alba). White bark, larger leaves and stiffer 
branches than the weeping type, but a good shade tree as well as effective 
in group plantings. 8—10 ft. $4.50 each, 10-12 ft. $6.00 each, 2—21% in. 
caliper, $10.00 each. 
CATALPA bungei (Umbrella Cata!pa). Small, umbrella-like tree, suitable 
where space is limited. Seldom grows higher than 10 to 12 ft., with an 
Suitable 
American Elm 
ELMS (U!mus). The Elm comprises one of the best known and 
most practical groups of shade trees, being adapted to almost 
all kinds of soil and climate. Easily transplanted and reason- 
ably fast growers. 
American (Ulmus americana). This famous American shade 
tree is at its best when planted in the parks and broad streets 
of the New England states, where specimens are found more 
than 100 years old. Yet it succeeds equally as well through- 
out the South. 5-6 ft. $2.00 each, $22.00 per doz.; 6-8 ft. 
umbrella-like spread equaling the height. 4-5 ft. $3.50 each.

CHINESE ELM 
(Ulmus Pumila) 
A comparatively new type of Elm in this country. How- 
ever, it has. been used for ornamental purposes for hundreds 
of years in China, having been imported from Siberia. Re- 
sembles American Elm, but is more compact, has finer 
branches, less spread, and does not grow to be as large a tree. 
Suitable for streets, on home grounds, and other places where 
a fast growing, medium size tree is desired. Sends its roots 
deep into the soil, interfering very little with the grass. One 
of the fastest growers of all shade trees; also one of the first to 
come out in leaf in the Spring, and the !ast to lose its foliage 
in the Fall. aoa arecn

Trees make ideal gifts, not only being appreciated at 
the time, but will increase in value as the years go by.
