Species to ho recommended for
planting in eastern Nebraska-
Norvvn'y Maple -This spocles Ih
hardy, a fairly rapid grower and is
adapted to a vaiiety of soils and situ
ations It grows a round, compact
crown which furnishes a dense shade
The tree is alvvas rich in appeal ance,
putting foitli Its leaves eatl In
spring and is attractive in late sum
mer when most trees show the effect
of heat and diouth
Red Oak Growing more rapidly
than any other oak and possessing a
round or oval shaped ciown. the red
oak is one of our best Irees The
deeply cut leaves, dark green and
glossv above and pale green beneath
turning red in autumn, make this tree
an object of beauty during the entire
summer and autumn. It is adapted
to a varietv of soils and is one of the
easiest and best to plant
Scarlet Oak The round dome like
crown, eoveied witli hriglit green
leaves in summer and turning to a
brilliant scarlet in autumn, make this
a moHj attractive tree for planting.
It Is easily propagated and will grow
on almost any site
I'in Oak This species is a lapld
grower and Is easily transplanted Its
pyramidal form, the rather short,
slender pendulous branches and the
deeply cut unsy inmetrical leaves give
the tree a characterlsticall beautiful
appearance The brilliant scarlet col
lorlng In autumn is its crowning
glory.
Linden- Thin tree is used uite ex
tensively as a shade tree because of
its rapid growth its upright form
rounded outline and its abundant
light green foliage This species is
subject to attacks bv insects and the
leaves are sometimes attacked bv
fungi rich soil with plenty of
moisture is needed for good growth
The European species is less subject
to i ii J in and is a favorite tree for
planting In main localities
Sycamore This species is hardy
grows rapidly and wheu 'properly
pruned forms a compact, well-roundod
crown It Is adapted to most soils and
is a desirable species to plant. The
oriental plane possesses the good
cmalities of the American sycamoro
and besides possesses a denser crown.
On account of the shedding of the
bark both of these species are adapted
to localities wheie socTt and dirt are
present
Kim -The white elm Is adapted to
planting on wide streets and rec'ftircs
a deep, moist soil It is subject to
attack by insects and in some locali
ties spraving is resorted to In order
to prevent defoliation.
Ilackborry- Resembling the IClpi in
geneial appearance, this species gen
erally possesses a inoi e compact
crown and denser foliage It is toler
ant of man, soil conditions and is
comparatively fiee from diseases
White Ash 'I his tiee possesses
many desirable chaiactei istics The
late appearance ol the leaves in spring
and the chopping of the leaves earh
in autumn are objections to its use
Size Trees used lor planting on
roadsides, streets, lawns and parks
should be from 1.'. to IX feet high and
should be lice liom branches -for S-ln
feet The) should have a hbious root
system in order that growth may con
tinue without much interrupt ion after
transplanting
Method oT Planting - Holes should
be made large enough to contain the
roots without ciowdmg The nclutop
soil should be placed on one side
while the less lei tile soil is put in an
other pile When the tlee has been
placed in the opening at the same
depth at which it was placed in the
nurserv the lerlile soil should be put
around the roots In si and liimlv
tamped clown 4 Then tin other soil
should be added .md comp.tc ted The
last Inch of soil should be lett loose
in order to allow nioisiuie to enter

YOUNG men are doing a lot of good to the community by their criti
cal enthusiasm for styte in clothes; just as all men want to feel
young, so all men want to be in style.
But style isn't everything; the object in being particular about style
is to look stylish; and you want the clothes to look stylish after you've worn
them a few weeks or months, as well as during the first few days. There's
one sure way of knowing that you're getting the clothes that stay stylish.
Hart Schaffnet & Marx
Make them for it; all-wool fabrics, finest high-class tailoring, right fit.
These are the things we guarantee to any man who buys these clothes
here. You'll have to come to us for them; we'll see that you get what
you want, and that you don't get what you don't want.
