DECIDUOUS TREES 
Deciduous trees, or those which drop their foliage in the fall, are a necessity 
in every form of planting, whether it be large or small. There is such a variety 
in size, shape, foliage and habit that it is possible to obtain deciduous trees for 
every purpose. Many of them bear handsome flowers and some are noted for 
their various colors of foliage. Some show their chief beauty in spring, while 
others require the early frosts to bring their beauty to full perfection.

Tree of Heaven ( Alianlhus gland u- 
losa). A beautiful tropical-like tree. 
One of the fastest growing, attaining 
a height of 60 to 80 feet, with long 
sprays of foliage much like sumac. It 
thrives in smoky places and in soils 
in which no other tree will grow.
