It is a good idea to conjer with your 
neighbors and your Superintendent oj 
Parks when selecting street trees. The best 
effect is produced when plantings are 
uniform. We can often supply trees at 
lower prices when a large quantity for 
street planting is ordered at one time. 
We will gladly assist in choosing the best 
variety for your location.
