SHADE TREES 
Symbols of Eternal Beauty ! 
The tree you plant this fall will pro- 
vide shade and protection for generations 
to come. The satisfaction of seeing a strong 
young tree grow to stately maturity cannot 
be equaled. It is a monument that will 
always say: “He who planted me loved 
beauty.” 
Helps Keep Your House Cool in 
Summer—Warm in Winter 
Shade trees are Nature’s home “air condi- 
tioners.’’ They will shade your home from the 
hot summer sun. In winter, they will allow the 
sun's warm rays to help heat your house. 
“Shade trees increase home values,” say 
leading real estate experts. 
There is no better investment than a few of 
these fine sturdy trees. Don't delay. Supply of 
Stern's selected trees is necessarily limited 
each year. Plant shade trees this fall for a 
lifetime of beauty, pleasure and comfort. 
Height after name indicates size at maturity. 
Trees are well branched except for new Crimson King 
Maple. Shade Trees are NOT PREPAID. 
721A. GOLDEN WEEPING WILLOW 
(Salix Niobe). 40-50 ft. Fastest growing 
tree of all. Plant for quick shade — its 
golden bark and long graceful branches 
will give glorious beauty. Attractive in 
summer and winter. Thrives anywhere, 
even in damp spots. 6-8 ft. Each $3.50; 
3 for $10.00. 
Golden Weeping Willow. 
Norway Maple 
663A. NORWAY MAPLE (Acer platanoides). 
50-60 ft. A fast grower making a compact — 
well shaped tree with dense rich foliage. 
Spectacular yellow blossoms in early spring, 
followed by deep green leaves. Holds it foli- 
age until late in the fall. 6-8 ft. Each $6.00; 
3 for $17.50. 
660A. CRIMSON KING MAPLE (Acer Crim- 
son King). 40-50 ft. Truly the most beautiful of 
all Maples. These remarkable trees came to 
us from Europe ten years ago. Since then we 
have cultivated and observed them under 
every condition. They are a vast improvement 
over the older Schwedler’s variety. In the 
spring the foliage is a richer purple, and 
Stern’s Crimson King holds this amazing color 
through the entire season. For spectacular 
color contrast that will cause passers-by to 
stop and gaze, plant this gorgeous shade tree 
prominently on your grounds. Sturdy whips 
that will branch out rapidly, 5-7 ft. tall. Each 
$9.00; 3 for $25.00. 
665A. SUGAR MAPLE (Acer saccharum). 50-60 
ft. Famed native American variety. Our north- 
ern strain colors brilliantly in the fall when its 
leaves are bright yellow, orange and scarlet. 
Thrives in sun as well as shade. A permanent 
tree that will last for generations. Furnishes 
sap from which maple sugar is made. 6-8 ft. 
Each $5.00; 3 for $14.00. 
661A. SILVER MAPLE (Acer dasycarpum). 60-80 
ft. You'll get good shade quickly from this fast- 
est growing of all the Maples! Foliage is silv- 
ery on the under side and beautifully colored 
in, the fall. 6-8 ft. Each $2.75: 3 for $7.50. 
703A. LOMBARDY POPLAR (Populus nigra 
italica). 60-80 ft. Spiraling upward toward the

tive for specimen planting, along border lines 
and entrances. Adapted to a wide range of 
soils, this striking tree is excellent for wind- 
breaks. 6-8 ft. Each $1.50; 10 for only $14.00. 
725A. EUROPEAN MOUNTAIN ASH (Sorbus 
aucuparia). 20-40 ft. Small ornamental shade

winter. Will thrive even in shady locations and 
poor soil. Excellent ornamental for front and 
side yards. 6-8 ft. Each $5.00; 3 for $14.00.
