For Shade and Beauty 
“No place is complete without trees. A home without trees is 
charmless; a road without trees is shadeless; a park without trees 
is purposeless; a country without trees is hopeless.”

HEN hot summer sun beats down, you long for the welcome shade of a 
Maple, an Oak, or a broad-petaled Elm. But to have and enjoy such shade 
and shelter, you must plant ahead. The trees must be planted in fall or 
spring when the weather is cool. Then the roots take hold, the tree flourishes, 
and in a surprisingly few seasons the outspreading branches give the protection 
you desire. 
We can supply——at reasonable prices—large trees that will give immediate 
effect, as well as the smaller specimens from 6 to 15 feet, that are listed herein. 
It is not practical to pack and ship the larger sizes, but we can load on cus- 
tomer’s truck at our nurseries, sizes larger than those listed here. Our trees 
are well grown, root pruned, and transplanted several times; they are truly 
Hillenmeyer standard. 
“He Who Plants a Tree, Plants for Posterity” 
There is no warrior who'll fight for life 
More valiantly than a tree, 
On rocky wind-swept ledge at mountain crests 
Or on the fiercely elemental coastline by the sea. 
—R. H. Weisbrod 
Acer - Maple 
ACER platanoides (Norway Maple). A vigorous, dense, round-headed tree, 
valuable for street or lawn planting. The large, dark green leaves turn a 
pale yellow in the fall. It resembles the Sugar Maple except the leaves are 
larger and it is not as tall growing. May be planted under electric or tele- 
phone wires, causing little interference. Not available in 2 to 21/2 in. size.

A. rubrum (Red Maple). A native tree which is 
not appreciated and one of the most attractive 
as a lawn specimen. The current season’s 
growth is bright red in winter. Flowers and seed 
pods are red, appearing before the leaves, which 
in fall vie with the Oaks, Sassafras, Gum, Sumac, 
or Sugar Maples for magnificence in color. Not 
available in 134 to 2 in. or 21% in. sizes. 
A. saccharum (Sugar Maple). Known everywhere 
and extremely popular. The tree grows to great 
size, erect, conical form, is perfectly hardy, 
withstands any sub-normal weather conditions, 
and is adaptable to nearly all types of soil. The 
tree yields valuable timber, as well as maple 
sugar. Foliage is deep green, turning to inde- 
scribable colors in the fall.

A. saccharinum (Silver Maple). Because of its 
quick growth and good foliage, this tree is in 
great demand. The leaves appear early in spring, 
are light green on the upper side, silvery be- 
neath, and remain until late fall. Small flowers 
open before the leaves appear. For planting as 
temporary trees—that is, alternate between the 
hard-wood and slower growers, such as Oaks, 
Elms, Sugar Maples, Gums, etc., the Silver Maple 
is highly recommended.

White Birch). Tree of 
moderately quick growth, erect, with terminal! 
branches slightly drooping. Bark almost white. 
As a specimen, and especially contrasted with 
evergreens, it makes a valuable tree for the 
lawn. Prefers a moist place, but wil! do well 
in dry ground.

pendula laciniata (Cut-leaf European White 
Birch). A weeping form of the European White 
Birch. Inclined to be rather pyramidal when 
young but as it matures develops a broad top. 
Its small, pendulous branches eventually almost 
touch the ground. Because of its deeply ser- 
rated leaves, white bark and weeping habit, it 
is one of our most highly prized trees for small 
lawns, cemetery lots, planted as a specimen or 
in groups.
