MAIDEN HAIR TREE 
Ginkgo biloba. While moderately slow of 
growth and slender while young, this tree 
develops into a spectacular specimen. Sturdy 
furrowed gray trunk and branches, heavily 
veined leaves to 2'% inches across that re- 
semble those of the Maidenhair Fern, and in- 
triguing yellow fall coloring characterize this 
unusual Chinese tree. Provides a light shade. 
30 to 40 ft. 5-gal., $6.00. 
LIQUIDAMBAR 
Liquidambar styraciflua. Increases in popu- 
larity each year and little wonder, for it not 
only may be planted to advantage in a num- 
ber of locations but supplies a wealth of 
yellow, gold, red and maroon maple-like fo- 
liage through fall and early winter as well. 
As it is pyramidal in form, and not too spread- 
ing, it may be used in the parking, in the 
shrub border, or as a small shapely specimen 
most anywhere. Not- fussy about too much 
or too little water, but withholding water in 
late summer generally improves fall and win- 
ter coloring. Disease free. 30-35 ft. 5-gal.,
