LOMBARDY POPLAR— 
LOMBARDY POPLARS 
by Mary Prentice Hardigg 
Lombardy poplars standing in a row, 
Most graceful they of all the trees I know. 
Erect and straight they stand but never stiff, 
They bend and bow this way and that as if 
To grant to all within their reach 
A silent friendliness more rare than speech. 
Tall, stately landscape tree for accent 
points, quick screens, backgrounds and 
driveways. Very picturesque and very use- 
ful. Has glossy leaves that shimmer in the 
sunlight. Branches grow close to trunk and 
upright to form a tall, slim column. Fast- 
growing and hardy.

NIOBE WEEPING WILLOW— 
The golden Weeping Willow, the most 
beautiful in that species. Splendid as a 
lawn tree, for planting near pools or along 
the banks of streams. A graceful weeping 
tree with rich golden bark on trunk and 
along the long slender weeping branches. 
Hardiest of all the Weeping Willows. Very 
beautiful in the winter because of its rich 
yellow bark, which makes it very con- 
spicuous. Hardy here in Minnesota. 6-8 ft., 
$2.25. 
WHITE BIRCH— 
A beautiful, graceful, upright growing 
tree of medium size, famed for its striking 
white bark. Effective when planted singly 
or in groups. Clusters of three or four plant- 
ed in one clump will give the most de- 
sirable and most naturalistic effect. 6-8 ft., 
$3.00; 3 for $8.50; 8-10 ft., $4.00; 3 for $11.50. 
Clump Birch of 3 or more stems, 
5-6 ft., $4.00. 
MORAINE LOCUST-—— 
(Plant Patent No. 836.) New seedless and 
thornless variety. Is a round headed tree 
when young but tall and vase-shaped when 
older. May,be used as a graceful accent 
for informal lawn borders or background 
plantings, as a stately specimen shade tree 
or as a frame for a scenic vista. Hardy, fast 
growing and resistant to disease and in- 
sect damage. Needs very little care. The 
shape of the tree and the laciness of its 
compound leaves let sunlight filter through 
to encourage lawn grasses. 7-8 ft., $7.00.
