T7 Crimson King Maple (P.P. 735). Truly a 
King of the ornamental trees, it is distinctive, 
colorful, captivating. Far superior to Schwedler’s 
Purple Maple. The foliage is a deep maroon-purple 
from the time it leafs out until the leaves fall. This 
rich color adds an exhilarating contrast to the prev- 
alent greens. Fine for city planting, not harmed by 
smoke, gases, dust. It will live for many generations, 
becoming more attractive each passing year. We 
have sold many thousands since we first offered it, 
spring of 1949. Now we are receiving enthusiastic 
letters of praise. The trees we send you are one year 
old top, 3 year old roots. They will start branching 
the first summer and every leaf, every inch of 
growth will be a delight. Perfectly hardy and easy 
to grow.

T18 Magnolia, Soulangeana—This is the hardi- 
est Magnolia and many consider it the most beauti- 
ful of all flowering trees. People drive for miles to 
see them in bloom. One of the first trees to bloom 
in early spring, the delightfully fragrant flowers ap- 
pear before the leaves. The blossoms are very 
large, often 8 inches across, purple-pink on the out- 
side and white on the inside. Grows only 10 to 12 
feet tall and starts blooming very young, often the 
same year planted. There are several fine specimens 
in Hamburg and in Omaha, Nebr. But we think this 
is the northern limit, as it requires sheltered loca- 
tions here. In Missouri, most of Kansas, southeast 
Nebraska, Oklahoma, all Illinois except northwest 
part, Indiana, Ohio, and east, most of Michigan, 
all the southern states, it is marvelous.

T 2 One of the rarest and most beautiful low-growing trees. In the spring it is filled with 
golden flowers, in graceful clusters 12 to 18 inches long. A sight that stops all who pass 
by. Here at Hamburg it must be planted in a spot protected from winter winds. So we 
do not advise planting it north of extreme southern Iowa. But East and South of us it 
will make your yard a center of attraction.
