DECIDUOUS TREES. 
NOTE.—' The rates given for shade trees include boxing and packing. These rates are very low, and the 
different rates are for the different grades. It is best for customers that want stock shipped to buy light trees, 
not over 15 feet, as they are not so hard to handle as the large ones. 
Our stock in this department is very choice, and we will be pleased to quote rates to those who want large 
assortments.
