Here we have the rare bronze-leaved and “‘bronze-plumed’’ Smoke 
Tree. The common Smoke Tree is too well known, nothing more need 
be said about it except that it has been a favorite garden shrub for 
hundreds of years. The bronze-leaved form has handsome bronze 
tinted foliage and a bronze colored so-called plume or smoke. It is 
one of the outstanding shrubs in our nursery and has caused a great 
deal of comment. We are sure that this rare shrub will make a fine 
display in your garden. We offer nice bushes about 2 to 3 feet tall.

This is one of the fastest grow- 
ing trees we know about. It was 
obtained through a cross of the 
common Weeping Willow, Salix 
Babylonica, with the variety Alba. 
It is much hardier and stronger 
as well as faster growing, hand- 
somely weeping with good foliage. 
Used freely in England but not well 
known in this country. We know of 
nothing better for quickly blocking 
out undesirable views or buildings. 
Does well in moist soil and when 
established grows as much as five 
to six feet in one season while 
young. Grows ultimately as tall as 
the common Weeping Willow. The 
best size for planting is young trees 
about 6 to 8 feet tall. They estab- 
lish at once and grow rapidly. We 
do not offer larger trees because of 
this fast growth and recommend 
spring planting only. 
A limited number of trees avail- 
at $4.00 each.
