ORNAMENTAL 
“When Its 
Redbud Time 
ia Kansas” 
(See color picture and special on back cover.) Yes, 
“Redbud Time in Kansas” will be known nationally if 
the ambitions of the Kansas Garden Clubs are realized. 
So beautiful and “adapted to Kansas” is this small or- 
namental tree, that the Garden Clubs are urying sev- 
eral be planted on every farm and home, as well as 
in parks and along our highways. The beautiful, bright 
red blossoms appear in the spring before the leaves. 
This tree makes ideal shade or partial shade for flower 
beds. Since it is a legume, it does not “sap” the soil 
as other trees do. (For Seedlings see page 38.)

(Soft Maple) 
Very popular and fast ong 
growing shade tree. It is ™& 
hardy everywhere and is 
not injured by ‘sudden» 
freezes. Its foliage seems : 
to be immune from Canker 
worms and other foliage 
insects in the spring. The 
Silver Maple will grow 
quickly into a large, beau- 
tiful, stately shade tree. If 
kept properly pruned it 
will withstand windstorms 
and last a lifetime. Do not 
condemn this tree because of some old, improperly pruned, 
un-cared-for tree you have seen. For quick shade and hardi- 
ness, the Silver Maple deserves wider recognition. (See page 
38 for Seedlings.)

Cottonwood The official state tree of Kansas. Be- 
cause this tree is so fast growing, hardy, drought-resistant 
and rugged, it was planted by the pioneers and early settlers 
in Kansas. It played an important role in Kansas History. 
It still deserves to be planted more than it is. It is not atf- 
fected by freezes. It is also valuable for windbreaks and the 
farm wood-lot. It will grow into valuable lumber in a short 
time. (See page 38 for seedlings.)

Cottonless Cottonwood wis ix a cor. 
tonless strain of the true Plains Cottonwood that is 
NATIVE to the Western Plains and indigenous to the 
Western three-fourths of Kansas. It is NOT the Caro- 
lina Poplar (not very hardy here) which is offered for 
Cottonless Cottonwood by some nurseries. It is espe- 
cially adapted to deep, friable, sandy soils. Supply 
very limited. Order early.

Silver Poplar A picturesque tree with leaves that 
are dark green on one side and silvery white on the other. 
Strikingly ornamental and rapid growing. Round headed and 
not slender like the Lombardy Poplar. Sometimes incorrectly 
thought to be Silver Maple. Often folks will order Silver 
Maple when they really have Silver Poplar in mind. The 
leaves of the Silver Maple are light green in color but not 
silvery.
