CLUMP BIRCH 
Three Separate Trunks 
In recent years there has been much 
demand in landscape planting for the 
white barked Birch in clumps of three or 
more separate trunks. Grown in this 
manner, they develop into most attrac- 
tive specimens for lawn and must be seen 
to be really appreciated. In former years, 
clumps have been developed by planting 
several trees together, but should one 
die, the result is out of balance. We offer 
a clump of three separate trunks, grow- 
ing from a single root. Grows to a height 
of 50 or 60 ft. Size 3 to 4 ft, ($3.95 
each) (3 for $10.00) prepaid. 
NIOBE 
WEEPING WILLOW 
Hangs to the Ground 
The Niobe Weeping Willow is the best 
in its class and one of the most beautiful 
of all weeping trees. Broad spreading 
branches that arch in cascades clear to 
the ground make it a perfect ball of 
lovely green. Or, it can be trimmed to 
shape as desired. Branches are long and 
slender with attractive golden-yellow 
bark. It is a rapid grower to 35’ tall. 
Thrives on either wet or dry soil. Makes 
beautiful specimen on the lawn or as a 
background for other plantings. The Ni- 
obe Weeping Willow is an ideal tree for 
planting in the background or back lot 
lines on new-properties which have little 
or no trees or plant growth. Their amaz- 
ingty swift growth provides color, shade 
and fresh greenness almost over night. 
3 to 4 ft. ($1.50 each) (3 for $3.50) 
_prepaid. 
thick, waxy leaves make a striking effect | 
the year round. Pink and white buds 
expand into delicate white and flesh col- 
ored flowers. They will attain the size 
of a small tree, or may be trimmed to fit 
your landscape. (85c each) (3 for $2.30)
