SHADE AND ORNAMENTAL TREES 
Too mucli can hardly be said concerningr the desirability of plantingr shade trees, but their value 
is so obvious that it should not be necessary to urgre anyone who has the betterment of his own prop- 
erty, and the community in g'eneral, at heart. There is, however, often a sad habit of procrastination 
in this regard that every good citizen should make up Ms mind to overcome.
