Ornamental and 
Shade Trees 
I N addition to the trees which are valued for their 
shade, there are flowering trees which, at different 
times during the spring and summer, shower the 
lawn with their bloom. Do not forget that while shade 
trees add materially to the property value and land¬ 
scape charm of your home, the initial cost is very small 
as compared with the enjoyment that you receive. 
The average shade tree is a long investment and re¬ 
turns your money manifold throughout the years of 
its usefulness.

Increases Property Value 
Beautifying your home grounds is an investment which 
pays immediate dividends. The moment you set an orna¬ 
mental or fruit tree, a shrub, plant or vine, your property 
becomes more valuable and desirable. Real estate deal¬ 
ers have estimated that the addition of a few trees and 
shrubs in a new subdivision often increases the property 
value -20%. Most things depreciate from the minute of 
purchase. Planting is one of the few investments that 
do not depreciate but ever bring increased returns in 
actual value and satisfaction.
