BEATRICE LOCUST, Thornless 
T 17 This is a new tree introduced by us Spring 1955 and sold only by us. The 
original tree is growing at the edge of Beatrice, Nebraska and is more than 50 
years old. It is a magnificent tree, shaped very much like the American Elm, 
wide spreading at the top. It is the finest Thornless Honey Locust we have 
ever seen. Our trees are grafted right from the original. Graés will grow right 
up to the trunk. Most years it is entirely seedless but some years there may bea 
very few pods. Grows rapidly, does not sucker from the roots. Hardy, hand- 
some, no thorns, easy to grow. A good replacement for the American Elm. 
Especially valuable for city planting asit withstands 
dust, disease, smoke and other difficult conditions. 
Foliage is feathery, fernlike, colors’golden in the fall. 
These are 1-year old trees with 2-year old roots.

FOR BEAUTY AND COMFORT 
Sugar Maple, orange, gold and scarlet fall foliage 
SUGAR MAPLE 
T6 The Sugar Maple (also called Hard Maple) is native to almost every state east of 
the Rockies excepting the gulf states. It is a permanent tree that lasts for generations. 
There are many homes in America which are identified by their magnificent Sugar 
Maples. Our trees are the northern. This strain colors more attractively in the fall 
when its luxuriant foliage is marvelous with tints of orange, gold and scarlet. It makes 
a large, spreading, perfectly formed tree, of which you will be proud.

CHRISTINE BUISMAN ELM, Plant This Instead of American Elm 
T 40 This new Elm is being planted instead of the American because many years testing 
have proven it is resistant to the deadly Phloem Necrosis Virus and the Dutch Elm 
diseases, which are killing American Elms in many places. It does not grow quite as 
rapidly as the American. However, it is attractive, shapely, well-branched from the very 
first year. The foliage is very rich dark green and stays on until late fall. We judge that 
the mature tree will never be as large as the American.
