Deciduous Ornamental Trees 
This division is self-explained by the title, except that trees of drooping or "weeping" habit are 
classed together in the next section. 
The best street trees for this part of California are included in this division. Evergreens are 
used in Southern California, but in Northern California deciduous trees are better, as they afford 
needed shade during the summer, but admit sunshine in winter, which helps to dry the mud after 
rains. A list of the best trees for this purpose b>th evergreen and deciduous, will be found in back 
of catalog. 
In this class will also be found some of the most beautiful specimen trees, others valued for 
their wealth of blossoms and some "general purpose" trees. 
All have been carefully grown, and such as needed, pruned each year. It is advisable, how- 
ever, when planting, to cut back pretty well all but a few kinds. This helps the tree to become 
established and lessens the risk of loss. It is eaay to cut back too little, but hard to overdo it. 
In the hot interior valleys it is advisable to shade the trunks of this class of trees until they 
become well established. 
ACER (Maple.) Among our most ornamental 
and valuable deciduous trees for park and 
street planting. The foliage of nearly all as- 
sumes handsome autumnal tints. All have 
leaves with characteristic lobes except the box 
elder, which has pinnate leaves.
