PLANT SHADE TREES 
for a Lifetime of Comfort and Beauty 
The Long-time Favorites for Lawn and Street Planting 
1. To provide shade in the desired locations on the lawn and near build- 
ings, at different times of the day. 
To frame the home and its views. 
3 To provide a background for gardens and buildings. 
4. To screen undesirable views. 
5. To protect from cold winter winds. 
6. To provide color in flower, foliage or fruit. 
AMERICAN ELM— 
America’s noblest and most popular shade 
tree, large and spreading, combining strength 
and grace. One of the best lawn and boulevard 
trees—majestic, hardy, permanent. The prices 
are for well shaped specimen trees. The 
measurement in inches means the diameter of 
the tree just above the ground. 6-8 ft., $1.50; 
8-10 ft. $2.50; 10-12 ft., $3.50; 2-217 inch 
caliper, $7.00. 
LAKE CITY ELM— 
The original specimen of this variety was 
found growing in Lake City, Minnesota. It 
is a type of American Elm of unusual merit. 
Close, upright growth. Trees are all symmetri- 
cal and uniform in shape, yet with sufficient 
spread to make it a valuable shade tree. It is 
especially adapted for boulevard planting as 
it does not have low spreading branches to 
interfere with travel on the sidewalk and 
pavement. 8-10 ft., $5.00. 
BIRCH, Cut-Leaf Weeping— 
We have always considered this one of 
the most graceful as well as among the most 
beautiful of all ornamental trees. It seems to 
fit in anywhere it is planted, and after it is 
once established its owner seems to love it as 
no other tree. A beautiful upright growing 
tree with long, slender, gracefully weeping 
branches. The leaves are delicately cut, the 
bark a brownish green at first gradually turning 
to a pure glistening white. 6-8. ft., $4.50; 
8-10 ft., $7.00. 
NIOBE WEEPING WILLOW— 
The golden Weeping Willow, the most 
beautiful in that species. Splendid as a lawn 
tree, for planting near pools or along the banks 
of streams. A graceful weeping tree with rich 
golden bark on trunk and along the long 
slender weeping branches. Hardiest of all the 
Weeping Willows. Very beautiful in the winter 
because of its rich yellow bark, which makes it 
very conspicuous. 
6-8 ft., $2.25 
Hardy here in Minnesota. 
MOUNTAIN ASH— 
The combination of foliage and clustered 
fruits make this a very beautiful lawn tree. 
Bright red berries, white flowers. Used as 
specimen on the lawn or as an accent in the 
border. Gtows 30 feet high. 5-6 ft., $1.50; 
6-7 ft., $2.50; 7-8 ft., $3.50. 
WHITE BIRCH— 
A beautiful, graceful, upright growing tree 
of medium size, famed for its striking white 
bark. Effective when planted singly or in 
groups. Clusters of three or four planted in 
one clump will give the most desirable and 
most naturalistic effect. We have an unusually 
fine lot of White Birch in the popular sizes.

One of the fine trees for shade or boule- 
vard planting. It grows quite rapidly, to a 
uniform shape. It is extremely hardy and 
develops strong crotches. An interesting tree 
as a specimen or in a background planting. 
5-6 ft., $1.50. 
LOMBARDY POPLAR— 
Tall, stately landscape tree for accent points, 
quick screens, backgrounds and driveways. 
Very picturesque and very useful. Has glossy 
leaves that shimmer in the sunlight. Branches 
grow close to trunk and upright to form a tall, 
slim column. Fast-growing and hardy.
