Trees for Shade and Beauty 



To appreciate the value of trees, one has only to compare 

 the comfort and beauty of suburban avenues on hot summer 

 days, with the barrenness and glare of downtown city streets. 

 For the street or a specimen planted in the home grounds 

 they perform a real service to man in the beauty they furnish, 

 and protect him from the rays of the summer sun. 



SHADE TREES OUR SPECIAJjTY 



We have undoubtedly more Shade Trees in saleable sizes,
