trast with other trees. Excellent windbreak. 
CUT-LEAF WEEPING BIRCH 
Another tall slender tree with graceful drooping branches 
of delicate beauty. Its cut-leaf dark green foliage contrasts 
with its distinctive silvery-white bark. This Birch is an 
unusually beautiful tree and grows quickly.

the great Southern forests but is now grown widely. De- 
velops into a handsome round broad tree. Few trees 
exceed the beauty of the Gum. It has distinctive star- 
shaped leaves of a rich green, turning in the fall to rich 
brilliant shades of purple and crimson. Very straight and 
tall. 
TREE WISTERIA 
An unusual and ornamental shrub or small tree—a speci- 
men of which you'll be proud because of its breath- 
taking beauty of bloom. In late spring it produces tre- 
mendously long Wisteria plumes of a gorgeous pink color. 
A carefully grafted form—stays small in size. Very long 
life—will live and bloom for generations. Wisteria 1s 
somewhat slow to start flowering but later blooms pro- 
fusely every year.

height of 100 feet. It is a handsome broad-headed tree 
with long slender branches and narrow leaves. Very 
hardy and easy to grow and attractive everywhere. Its 
foliage is particularly ornamental. 
“BLACK WALNUT 
One of the greatest native American trees, grown from 
coast to coast. A beautifully shaped tree with rounded 
head and tall straight trunk. Black Walnut is an unus- 
ually hardy and long lived tree. Prized also for the large 
and delicious nuts it produces. 
CHINESE ELM 
One of the fastest growing trees you can plant and a good 
choice for those who want shade in a hurry. The Chinese 
Elm never attains great size but is noted for its fast growth, 
a pleasing symmetrical shape and its mass of dense green 
foliage. Grows almost everywhere, resisting cold, heat 
and drought. Two or three rows of Chinese Elm planted 
15 to 20 feet apart quickly make an effective windbreak.
