ORNAMENTAL DEPARTMENT 
SHADE AND ORNAMENTAL TREES 
IN this section 
are included all 
upright and 
drooping trees. 
Trees useful for 
street and avenue 
planting, w here 
shade is the main 
requirement, con- 
sist of a large va- 
riety, but not all 
shade trees are 
desirable for this 
purpose even 
when they attain 
large size and, in 
some instances, 
such drooping 
trees as Weeping 
Willow, Cut- 
leaved Maple and 
Birches are de- 
barred by some 
City Foresters, 
Ni/rivtij Maple except i n wide 
tree belts or on 
terraces where pendent branches do not interfere with travel. 
The most desirable list of trees for this purpose would in- 
clude American VAm, Horse Chestnut, Linden, Norway, Hock and 
Silver Maples; Pin, Red and Scarlet Oaks; Salisburia and the 
Tulip Tree. Wliere an immediate effect is desired, Carolina 
Poplar may be used alternately with some of the long lived ti'ees, 
but for permanence this tree is not desirable. 
For Parks, Cemeteries and Large Estates the list is larger, 
and all varieties listed below slioiild be useful for shade and dec- 
orative eifects. For purposes of screening, the Poplars, Willows 
and Lindens find a most useful purpose and readily adapt them- 
selves. 
Trees mainly desirable for Flowering Effect include Calalpa 
Speciosa, Flowering Crabs, Dogwoods, Hawthorns, Pink and 
White Horse Chestnuts, Judas Tree, Kolreuteria, Magnolis, Tidip 
Tree and White Fringe. 
In many of the varieties of trees given below, we can furnish 
larger sizes than are noted.
