SUGAR MAPLE 
T6 The Sugar Maple (also called Hard Maple) is native to almost every state 
east of the Rockies excepting the gulf states. It is a permanent tree that lasts 
for generations. There are many homes in America which are identified by 
their magnificent Sugar Maples. There are two strains, a northern and a south- 
ern. Our trees are the northern. This strain colors more attractively in the fall 
when its luxuriant foliage is marvelous with tints of orange, gold and scarlet. It 
makes a large, spreading, perfectly formed tree, of which you will always be 
proud.

SILVER LEAVED RUSSIAN OLIVE 
T 41 Russian Olive stands out in any planting because of its attractive sil- 
very-grey foliage which makes a pleasing contrast with the usual green. We 
grow it in shrub form (page 29) and also tree form. As a tree it only grows 
about 20 feet tall. In the late summer and fall, there are silvery fruits.

color an attractive yellow in the fall. Grows 25 to 30 feet tall and grass will 
grow right up to the trunk. Hardy, easy to grow, everywhere except in 
southern states.

Fast-growing Hamburg Hybrid Elm, Below 
Sugar Maple, orange, gold and scarlet fall foliage 
INTER-STATE’S NEW 
HAMBURG HYBRID ELM 
T3 This is an entirely new tree, a Hybrid Elm that grows even faster than 
the Chinese Elm. Yet it does not break up as the Chinese Elm sometimes 
does. We have never seen or heard of it having the phloem necrosis virus, 
the disease which is killing so many American Elm trees in the middle states. 
Even when inoculated directly it has always been immune. 
Makes a shapely tree with large, dark green leaves. Does not grow as large 
or spreading as the American Elm but grows much more rapidly. In fact, in 
five years after planting you will have a handsome shade tree. It has never 
shown the least sign of winter injury. Ideal for lawn and street planting.

THORNLESS HONEY LOCUST 
T 17 Thornless Honey Locust is especially valuable for city planting because 
it withstands the dust, smoke and other difficult city conditions. Makes a 
large, spreading tree, 40 to 50 feet tall. Fragrant white flowers in the spring. 
Foliage is feathery, fern-like. Grass will grow right up to the trunk. Fast 
grower, hardy and not subject to borers like the Black Locust. If you have 
been having trouble with growing shade trees, plant this.
