<b>Text Appearing After Image: </b><br><i>ORIENTAL PLANE AMERICAN ELM Oriental Plane, Silver Maple, American Elm Popular Trees from Harrisons' ORIENTAL PLANE (Platanus orientalis). A rapid, up- right, clean growing shade tree, long lived, beautiful dense foliage. A superb tree of gigantic proportions, which is very hardy. The Oriental Plane, being origi- nally an imported tree during the past generation, has rapidly won high popularity in recent years due to its many favorable merits, which have made it the most useful and the most sought for shade tree for lawns, parks, streets and highway plantings. Harrisons' Nur- series are specializing in growing Oriental Planes and we are the largest growers in America. SILVER MAPLE (Acer dasycarpum). The name comes from the color of leaves. Underneath, these are the same shade as new, bright silver; on top they are light green. Many of them are carried on their edges, and when wind blows the trees are alive with silver and green flashes. In the fall the leaves fade to pale yel- low. Growth is faster than that of any other Maple, and probably faster than that of any other shade tree. Branches are slim and dainty rather than heavy, and the form of growth is spreading. Gets very large eventually—as high as 120 feet sometimes—and does well over nearly all the United States. Makes splendid quick screens or quick shade. On streets and in parks is extensively planted, and is very fine. AMERICAN ELM (Ulmus americana). A noble native tree of great size, wide spreading, gracefully curving branches, growing up in a form like the outline of long- stemmed flowers in a tall vase. The handsomest American tree for lawns, avenues and parks. AMERICAN PLANE (Platanus occidentalis). A very rapid growing tree for yard and street planting. The bark is grayish green and peels off during the winter. Not as desirable as the Oriental Plane, but is a much more rapid grower.
