SlEBRECHT & WaDLEY'S CATALOGUE OF 
XXX. 
Deciduous Trees i25 5hrubs. 
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, properly 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.
