y s to plant in 
In planning what trees Ae 
your Loa consider the height to which 
they will grow. For instance, “t oes 
v 5 ouse, yo J 8 
have a ranch type h sl 
that do not grow so tall. 
nohy you also to bear in mind that 
these trees may be divided into these 
three general kinds: 
1) the shade trees with er 
such as elm, willow, 
pee ful foli such 
i 2) the ones with coloful follage, § 
: as the red maples, Harlequin ma- 
f ple, or purple leaf plum.

By combining the three kinds, you 
ean get some very beautiful effects. 
ABOUT SHIPPING TREES. Wherever 
possible, we are pruning back these 
shade trees before shipping them to 
you, Thus they not only are in proper 
condition for planting, but their length 
is reduced so that most of them may 
be shipped to you via parcel post pre- 
paid. Even so, some are too tall to ship 
by parcel post so we have to ship them 
express. So please watch and, when 
necessary, tell us where your nearest 
express station is. 
IMPORTANT. Trees over 6 feet in 
height should be staked and tied for 
} the first year. Look at your ties occa- 
sionally to see that the ties are not 
‘ cutting into the bark. Also, do not 
| plant trees too deeply. If you do, they 
; may die. Plant at same depth they 
| grew in our nursery row; you can tell 
by ring of discoloration plainly visible.

"HARLEQUIN" 
The NEW Variegated Leafed Maple 
A4262—Harlequin is a Norway Maple 
with a variegated leaf, as shown in 
the picture of a leaf at the right. 
Harlequin will do well anywhere 
ordinary Norway Maples will. It is 
round-headed, attaining the maxi- 
mum height of about 30 feet. A 
wonderful street tree because it 
doesn’t get too tall. 
A few years ago we heard of this 
variegated leafed Norway Maple on 
the west coast, and had a few trees 
shipped in. We planted one in our 
show grounds, and when it began to 
show up in size, folks visiting us here 
of COLORFUL FOLIAGE and BRIGHT FLOWERS 
Place of Beauty and Shade Year after Year 
marvelled at it. We offered them just 
three years ago for the first time. Cost 
you just the same as Crimson King. 
Strong trees, 4 to 5-foot size, 4.29 each, 
express not prepaid. Supply limited. 
Schwedler's RED LEAF MAPLE 
A4286—Perfect in shape with bril- 
liant red foliage in the spring, shad- 
ing to bronze in the summer. A beau- 
tiful tree with a round symmetrical 
head. Long-lived; will add permanent 
beauty to your yard. Plant 35 feet 
apart. Prices, express not prepaid, 5 
to 6-foot, 3.25 each, 2 for 5.98; 6 to 
8-foot size, 4.50 each; 2 for 8.25. 
MOUNTAIN ASH 
A4260—Foliage is a beautiful green 
against a light, smooth bark. Has a 
broad head, very compact, with 
gorgeous creamy-white blossoms in 
spring followed by clusters of red 
berries in late summer and fall. 
Grows rapidly. 4 to 5-foot, 1.98 each; 
5 to 6-foot, 2.98 each, express not pre- 
paid. 
MAGNOLIA SOULANGEANA 
A4259—This is the most popular 
hardy Magnolia; the one with the 
great pink cup-shaped flowers in the 
spring before the leaves come. Sel- 
dom gets over 12 feet tall so makes 
a nice lawn tree. 
Plant in sheltered place. Folks 
south of Iowa should have no trouble 
TREE WISTERIA 
but is doubtfully hardy from Iowa 
north. There are several beauties 
right here in Shenandoah. 18 to 24” 
root-wrapped plants, 2.75 each; 2 to 
3-foot root-wrapped plants, 3.75 each, 
prepaid. 
RED BUD 
A4281—The first spring bloomer—a 
beautiful sight with leafless branches 
packed tight with rosy-red blooms. 
Leaves big, heart-shaped, and dark — 
green. Doesn’t grow large, so plant 
where you want a pretty shade tree 
that takes little room. 2 to 3-foot 
size, 98c each, 2 for 1.89, 3 to 4foot, 
1.49 each, 2 for 2.69, postpaid. 
NEW CRIMSON KING MAPLE 
A4214—This new French hybrid of 
the crimson-leaved, hardy maple tree 
(covered by Plant Patent No. 735) is 
the most showy of all trees in foliage. 
In early spring, the young leaves are 
a brilliant, fiery crimson. They con- 
tinue this bright color until well 
along in the summer, when the upper 
side of the leaves deepen to a rich 
black-red tinted green, with under- 
sides of green. Do not expect any 
red leaf maple to keep its brilliant 
springtime red throughout the sum- 
mer; it won’t. But Crimson King is 
the reddest of all red maples, includ- 
ing Schwedler’s. Never grows more 
than about 30 feet tall. 4 to 5-foot 
size, 4.29 each, express not prepaid. 
A4261—This is a new tree having 
much the same shape as the American 
Elm but it is much better in many 
ways. It is a very clean tree, having 
no seed pods, and fine foliage (the fall- 
ing leaves practically disappear into 
the lawn), which allows enough light 
on the lawn for good grass growth, yet 
gives enough shade to be cool and in- 
hibit crab grass growth. 
It is not susceptible to disease; is 
hard-wooded and as long-lived as a 
common Honey Locust; is tolerant of 
smoke and soot; stands transplanting 
well, and grows well on practically any 
type of soil. 
Covered by Plant Patent No. 836; 
prices standard throughout the U. S. 
5 to 6-foot whips, 5.00 each; 6 to 7- 
foot branched trees, 8.00 each, ex- 
press not prepaid. 
This is the beauty tree of the Ameri- 
can woodlands—the one that thru the 
years has captured the fancy of poets 
and fiction writers. 
It is hardy and easily grown. Water 
well in dry spells, as its roots are close 
to the surface. The branches cast a 
light, filtered shade which allows a 
good lawn to grow under the tree. 
NOTE: Young white birches have dark 
brown bark; may not turn a good white 
for several years. 
A4211—CUTLEAF WEEPING. White 
bark with graceful weeping branches. 
Leaves finely cut, a beautiful shade of 
green, Beautiful in spot by itself. 4 to 
6-foot trees, 2.45 each; 2 for 4.69. 
Exp. not ppd. 
A4302—PAPER WHITE. An upright 
variety whose leaves turn a brilliant, 
golden yellow in the fall. 4 to 5-foot 
size, 1.95 each; 2 for 3.69, express 
not prepaid.
