HANDSOME 
DECIDUOUS 
TREES 
On the next 6 pages is an alphabetical list of deciduous trees—the 
better kinds only. Many sorts not listed can be quoted on request. 
Small, bushy trees are included in this list, though some of them 
come close to being shrubs (there is no clear dividing line). We 
try to simplify, e.g., all Maples, even dwarf forms, are here—while 
all Viburnums, even tree-like kinds, are listed as shrubs.

Ulmus pumila Poplars and Willows are famous for 
rapid growth—but among “slow” trees known to have 
reached 30 feet or more in their first 15 years of 
life are Red Oak, Pin Oak, most Maples, Liriodendron, 
several Birches, Black Locust and American Linden. 
Photo Birch Clumps: B. papyrifera is brown when young 
but whiter and more long-lived when mature. Populi- 
folia is for quick effects. Two or more trees in one 
hele give clump effect quickest and cheapest.
