Deciduous Trees 



"'hi all great arts, as tn trees, it is 

 the height that charms us. Cicero 



l^ECIDL'OUS trees seem co be taken for granted as just a natural part of our 

 landscape . . . which is perfectly true of sparsely inhabited regions. But where 

 men have cultivated and built, trees have disappeared. The very ax and saw 

 handles, taken from the Hickory, rise up to slay their cousins . . . the massive 

 Oaks and Maples, monarchs of the forest laid prostrate by mankind. Today 

 trees must be conserved, and more beautiful ones planted in the places where 

 once their fathers stood. 



W'^hat home is complete without shade trees to provide that much-needed cool- 

 ness in the hot summers, or to give the kaleidoscope of color which some flower- 

 ing varieties will produce? 



Trees on residential properties not only provide shade and shelter for the owners, 

 but for the birds as well . . . m.an's greatest ally in combatting insect pests.
