HANDSOME 
DECIDUOUS 
On these 5 pages is an alphabetical list of deciduous trees—the 
better kinds only. Many sorts not listed can be quoted on request. 
Small, bushy trees are included in this list, though some of them 
come close to being shrubs (there is no clear dividing line). We 
try to simplify, e.g., all Maples, even dwarf forms, are here—while 
all Viburnums, even tree-like kinds, are listed as shrubs.

Trees Grow Quickly 
Since a young tree requires 
little care, and is much less 
expense and trouble to plant 
than a large one, it pays to 
plan ahead. A special list of 
bargains for such use is made 
on Page 13. 
Ulmus pumila Poplars and Willows 
are famous for rapid growth—but 
among ‘slow’ trees known to have 
reached 30 feet or more in their first 
15 years of life are Red Oak, Pin Oak, 
most Maples, Liriodendron, ° several 
Puce Black Locust and American

, papyrifera is brown 
when young but whiter 
and more long-lived 
when mature. Populi- 
folia is for quick ef- 
fects. Two or more 
trees in one hole give 
clump effect quickest 
and cheapest.
