Moraine Locust 
Salix 
Sr lamar 
This is one of the fastest grow- 
ing trees we know about. It was 
obtained through a cross of the 
common Weeping Willow, Salix 
Babylonica, with the variety Alba. 
It is much hardier and stronger 
as well as faster growing, hand- 
somely weeping with good foliage. 
Used freely in England but not well 
known in this country. We know of 
nothing better for quickly blocking 
out undesirable views or buildings. 
Does well in moist soil and when 
established grows as much as five 
to six feet in one season while 
young. Grows ultimately as tall as 
the common Weeping Willow. The 
best size for planting is young trees 
about 6 to 7 feet tall. They estab- 
lish at once and grow rapidly. We 
do not offer larger trees because of 
this fast growth and recommend 
spring planting only. 
A limited number of trees avail- 
at $4.00 each.

Woraine Sepik! 
(Plant Patent No. 836) 
A beautiful vase-shaped tree, in 
form resembling the American Elm. 
Dutch Elm disease is killing many 
Elms and nurserymen have been doing 
their best to find a suitable tree to 
take the place of Elms. The answer 
after many years of testing, is the 
Moraine Locust. Do not confuse the 
Moraine Locust with the native Lo- 
cust tree! 
First of all, it is fast growing and 
happy on a wide range of soils. 
Second, it is easy to transplant. 
Third, it does not produce unsight- 
ly seed pods and has no thorns. 
Fourth, it is hardy and handsome. 
Not too dense, grass will grow under 
it. 
It is a beautifully shaped tree as 
we said before, resembling in form 
the American Elm. It is a perfect 
street tree and most satisfactory on 
the average small lawn where a tall 
tree and some shade is required. 
We offer two sizes: Each 
5 to 6 ft. trees, branched . .$6.00 
6 to 7 ft. trees, not branched 6.00 
We suggest you plant some of 
these young trees if you have vacant 
land or a farm. They will be a fine in- 
vestment and you will have a ready 
sale for them to those people who 
want a big specimen.
