SlEBRECHT & WaDLEY'S CATALOGUE OF

Deciduous Trees ^ Shrubs. 
A General List, containing a Careful Selection of the best Ornamental Trees and Shrubs. 
THE importance of this department is obvious. No pleasure grounds or rural homes, however modest, are con- 
sidered complete without ornamental trees or plants of a hardy and permanent character. Too often the ef- 
fect of planting is measurably destroyed by the use of inferior or unsuitable species. Where grounds of any 
extent are to be planted, the advice of a competent landscape gardener will be found to be fully worth its cost. 
Trees and shrubs of an ornamental character, propex-ly selected and suitably planted, unquestionably increase 
very largely the actual value of any property, as well as add to the comfort and pleasure of those who occupy the 
premises.
