SHADE TREES—Continued 
KENTUCKY COFFEE TREE (Gymnocladus dioica). Irregular shaped 
tree, blue-green foliage. Somewhat resembles the Walnut. 8-10 
ft., $4.00 each; 10-12 ft., $6.00 each. 
LARCH, European (Larix europaea). Low-branching, deciduous, 
evergreen-like tree. Branches slender, tips pendulous. Soft light 
green leaves which resembles short needles of a Pine. Rapid 
grower. 3-4 ft., $2.50 each. 
MAPLE (Acer). This group is well known and extensively planted 
since Maples can be satisfactorily grown in a large part of this 
country. Of numerous varieties, we offer the most choice, as follows: 
Norway (Acer platanoides). Especially suited for street planting 
and on the grounds of small homes. As it makes only a medium 
size tree, can be used where space does not permit larger trees 
like the Sugar Maple and American Elm. Large dark green 
foliage; dense, spreading. Rather slow grower. 5-6 ft., $2.75 
each; 6-8 ft., $3.50 each; 8-10 ft., $4.75 each; 10-12 ft., 
$6.50 each. 
Scarlet (Acer rubrum). A medium grower. Light green foliage 
turning scarlet in fall. Not quite as dense as Norway. 5-6 ft., 
$2.75 each; 6-8 ft., $3.50 each; 8-10 ft., $4.75 each; 10-12 
ft., $6.50 each. 
Schwedler’s (Acer platanoides schwedleri). Leaves bright reddish purple in spring turning deep green later in the 
season. Splendid lawn variety. 5-6 ft., $3.25 each; 6-8 ft., $4.50 each; 8-10 ft., $6.00 each. 
Weeping Willow 
Sugar (Acer saccharum). A native of the Lombardy 
East, found growing in forests. In some Poplar 
localities the trees are tapped for the 
sugar water which is boiled into syrup 
and maple sugar. Tall, pyramidal shape requiring more space 
than its cousin, the Norway. 5-6 ft., $3.00 each; 6-8 ft., $4.00 
each; 8-10 ft., $5.00 each. 
Silver (Acer dasycarpum). Especially popular because of being a 
fast grower. Light green foliage slightly silvery underneath. 
Trees grow to be larger and more spreading than the Norway 
and should be given more space. Excellent for broad streets and 
large home grounds as well as useful in public parks. Illustrated 
page 37. 6-8 ft., $3.00 each; 8-10 ft., $3.75 each; 10-12 ft., 
$5.00 each. 
OAK (Quercus). For permanent shade, few trees excel the Oaks, Red (Quercus rubra). Another good Oak which makes a beautiful 
which are long-lived, sturdy and stately. Among the many varieties 
we attempt to offer only those most useful for shade and orna- 
mental effect. More difficult to transplant than some shade trees 
and slower in becoming established. Reasonably fast growers and 
become more valuable with age. Write for quotations on larger 
B&B specimens. 
Chestnut (Quercus montana). Tall, rather slender grower with 
foliage less dense than Pin Oak. Most useful when planted in 
groups with other varieties. 
Laurel (Quercus laurifolia). Handsome tree with round-topped 
head and lustrous foliage. Evergreen in the Deep South. 
Pin (Quercus palustris). The most extensively planted of all Oaks 
because it lends itself better as a shade tree for narrow streets 
and small home grounds. Also useful in parks, bordering drive- 
ways and almost anywhere a medium size shade tree is required. 
A very uniform, pyramidal grower. Large, glossy green foliage, 
turning to red in fall—making the tree ornamental as well as 
affording desirable shade. 
Prices on above Oaks: 5-6 ft., $3.25 each; 6-8 ft., $4.00 each; 
8-10 ft., $5.50 each; 10-12 ft., $7.50 each. 
PLANE, Oriental (Platanus orientalis). Good grower and especially desirable in cities where 
some trees do not succeed because of smoke. Useful in street plantings, as well as on 
the lawn. 6-8 ft., $3.50 each; 8-10 ft., $4.75 each; 10-12 ft., $6.50 each. 
POPLAR bolleana (Populus bolleana). 
$2.25 each; 8-10 ft., $3.00 each; 10-12 ft., $4.00 each. 
Lombardy (Populus nigra italica). Tall, slender, rapid grower. Suitable as a background, 
planting along driveways, screening off outbuildings and other unsightly objects. 
8-10 ft., $1.85 each; 
$19.75 per doz.; $110.00 per 100. 10-12 ft., $2.50 each; $27.50 per doz. 
6-8 ft., $1.35 each; $14.85 per doz.; $75.00 per 100. 
WALNUT, Black (Juglans nigra) 
WILLOW, Weeping (Salix babylonica). Beautiful weeping tree. 
6-8 ft., $3.00 each; 8-10 ft., $4.00 each. 
NOTE.—Write for prices on large, specimen B&B 
trees.

Glossy green leaves, silvery underneath. Slender 
grower, but wider than Lombardy and much longer lived. 5-6 ft., $1.50 each; 6-8 ft., 
Fast-growing, spreading shade tree. Profitable for both 
timber and nuts. Especially useful for planting in pasture fields as the grass thrives 
underneath. Makes good shade for stock and at the same time is growing into valuable 
timber. 6-8 ft., $3.00 each; $33.00 per doz. 8-10 ft,., $3.75 each. 
Especially suitable for 
planting along streams, but can be grown on well-drained soil. 4-6 ft., $2.25 each; 
shade tree from the time it is established on lawn or street. 
Grows to be very old and a giant in the forest. When planting 
a tree as a lasting memorial, we recommend Red Oak as being 
one of the best. Has large, glossy green foliage which turns 
scarlet in the fall. 
Scarlet (Quercus coccinea). Very similar to the Red Oak in gen- 
eral appearance and habit of growth. Foliage somewhat more 
serrated and turns to a more uniform red in autumn. A beautiful 
satisfactory tree. 
White (Quercus alba). The well known, native American White 
Oak. Rather difficult to transplant, but makes a beautiful tree, 
especially when planted in groups in parks or on large estates. 
Willow (Quercus phellos). So named because of its willow-like 
foliage. Beautiful ornamental tree, but rather difficult to trans- 
plant. Matured height, 60-80 ft.
