HARDY, WHITE CLUMP BIRCH 
In recent years there has been much demand in landscape planting for the white 
barked Birch (Betula alba) in clumps of 3 or 5 separate trunks. Grown in this 
manner, they develop into most attractive specimens for the lawn. They grow 30 
to 40’. We have found that separate trees on their own roots im one hole make 
better specimens shan a single root with numerous trunks. 3 to 4’. (3 trees $2.35)
