TREES 
AMUR MAPLE (Acer ginnala) 
20 ft. Zone Ill. Very hardy, bushy tree 
with brilliant scarlet fall color. Too 
small for a shade tree but valuable for 
screen, accent or specimen use. 
2 yr. T 10-15’ 75c each; 10 $6.50 
HARDY SILKTREE (MIMOSA) 
(Albizzia julibrissin rosea) 
20 ft. Zone V. A hardy type of the 
southern mimosa with deeper pink flow- 
ers. Lacy tropical foliage and an ex- 
tensive summer blooming period make 
this an outstanding addition to northern 
gardens. Often blooms when only 3 or 
4 years old. Will stand dry soils once 
established. 
2 yr. T 18-24 $1.00 each, 10 $9.00 
REDBUD (Cercis canadensis) 
20-30 ft. Zone IV. Tiny cerise pink 
flowers outline every branch during April 
before the heart shaped leaves appear. 
Graceful little tree, often used as a 
shrubby form, best in alkaline soils but 
will endure some acidity. 
2 yr. T 15-18”, sturdy 70c each, 10 
$6.00, 100 $50.00 
WHITE FRINGETREE 
(Chioanthus virginicus) 
25 ft. Zone IV. Feathery white blossoms 
in late May or early June, blue berries 
in fall. An outstanding and somewhat 
unusual small tree or large shrub, best 
in full sun. One of the last plants to 
send forth leaves in the spring, so late 
one might think it was dead. 
2 yr. T 6-9” 90c each, 10 $8.00 
WHITE DOGWOOD (Cornus florida) 
25 ft. Zone IV. An old favorite. White 
flowers in May, red berries in fall, rich 
fall foliage color. Sun or shade, prefers 
acid soil. 
3 yr. T 2-2'1% ft., bushy, landscape size 
$2.00 each 
PINK DOGWOOD (Cornus florida rubra) 
Rich pink flowering variety of above, 
excellent alone, magnificent in combin- 
tion with white dogwood. 
3 yr. T grafted 2-212 ft., bushy, land- 
scape size $4.50 each

PERSIMMON (Diospyros virginiana) 
60 ft. Zone IV. This is the common 
native persimmon, dense shiny foliage 
and edible orange fruits. Several trees 
are usually needed to insure fruit crop. 
Better fruiting varieties are available 
but many people have requested the 
native plants so here they are. 
2 yr. T 8-10” 55c each, 10 $4.50 
RIVERS PURPLE BEECH 
(Fagus sylvatica riversi) 
60 ft. Zone IV. Graceful bushy tree 
with coppery purple foliage, an intense 
lovely color that becomes richest when 
the leaves reach full size in late spring. 
Grafted plants, true strain. 
2 yr. T grafted 18-24" $4.00 each, 
3 $11.25, 10 $35.00 
BEN FRANKLIN TREE 
(Franklinia alatamaha) 
30 ft. Zone V. Large white flowers with 
yellow stamens appear in fall when few 
trees bloom, long shiny green leaves 
turn red in autumn often while flowers 
are still present. An American native 
found in Georgia 1770 but never found 
wild since 1790. Fortunately the tree 
was taken into cultivation before it dis- 
appeared. Best grown as a shrubby tree 
in northern states. 
2 yr. T 8-12" $1.50 each, 10 $12.50 
MAIDENHAIR TREE (Ginkgo biloba) 
80-100 ft. Zone IV. A spreading type 
with odd fan shaped leaves. Tolerant of 
city conditions, free from pests and 
diseases. Called the living fossil because 
geological records show the Ginkgo has 
been growing on earth for ten million 
years. 
3 yr. T 18-24” $1.20 each, 3 $3.00 
BLACK WALNUT (Juglans nigra) 
100-150 ft. Zone IV. A tall coarse foli- 
aged tree of very little ornamental value 
but often desired for sentimental reasons. 
Roots of this tree give off a material 
toxic to many other plants so it should 
be planted alone, or at least away from 
prized plants. 
2 yr. T 15-18” 50c each, 10 $4.00 
GOLDEN RAIN TREE 
(Koelreuteria paniculata) 
20 ft. Zone V. Small rounded tree, 
brightens July with large golden flower 
clusters. Requires sun, will grow in 
almost any soil, even dry soils once 
established. One of the few trees with 
true yellow flowers, one of the few 
summer flowering trees. It has a place 
in most gardens even though it has no 
fall color and is slow to leaf out in 
spring. 
2 yr. 12-18’ 85c each, 10 $7.50, 100 
$60.00
