Many shade trees are allowed to branch too low. 
This Hard Maple 
was headed high so as not to monopolize the small front yard. 
Shade and Ornamental Trees 
For shade, shelter and lasting beauty about your home 
“For trees, you know, are friends indeed, 
They satisfy such human need; 
In summer shade, in winter fire, 
With flower and fruit meet all desire, 
And if a friend to man you'd be, 
You must befriend him like a tree.”’ 
AMERICAN ELM— 
America’s noblest and most popular 
shade tree, large and spreading, combining 
strength and grace. One of the best lawn 
and boulevard trees—majestic, hardy, per- 
manent. The prices are for well shaped

means the diameter of the tree just above 
the ground. 6-8 ft., $1.75; 9-10 ft., $3.50; 1%%2- 
aa inch caliper, $5.00; 2-2% inch caliper,

BIRCH, Cut-Leaf Weeping— 
We have always considered this one of 
the most graceful as well as among the 
most beautiful of all ornamental trees. It 
seems to fit in anywhere it is planted, and 
after it is once established its owner seems 
to love it as no other tree. A beautiful up- 
right growing tree with long, slender, grace- 
fully weeping branches. The leaves are 
delicately cut, the bark a brownish green 
at first gradually turning to a pure glisten- 
ing white. 6-8 ft., $5.00; 8-10 ft., $7.00. 
GREEN ASH— 
The hardiest of all the native trees. Use- 
ful for parks and streets, or for lawn plant- 
ing. Shapely and handsome. 5-6 ft., $1.00; 
6-8 ft., $1.50; 8-10 ft., $3.00; 10-12 ft., $4.50.

MAP iE, Crimson King— 
(Plant Patent No. 735.) This beautiful

Maple that was selected in Europe for its 
brilliant crimson leaves. The color is retain- 
ed throughout the summer. 6-7 ft., $5.50;

MAPLE, Silver or Soft— 
A good appearance and rapid growth 
make this tree very popular where an im- 
mediate effect is required. 6-8 ft., $1.50; 8- 
10 ft., $3.50; 142-2 inch caliper $6.00. 
MAPLE, Hard or Sugar— 
This is one of the most beautiful of shade 
or boulevard trees. It is stately in all sea- 
sons, but truly gorgeous in fall when its 
dense leaves are brilliant yellow, orange 
and scarlet. For beauty and permanence 
Hard Maple cannot be surpassed. $6.00 to 
$14.00.
