Nut Trees 
for Shade 
See Pages 24-25 
Chestnuts, Pecans and Wal¬ 
nuts are all beautiful trees. 
Consider them as ornamen¬ 
tals. In any location in 
your grounds that is suit¬ 
able for a large deciduous 
tree, plant one of these 
trees. They will give not 
only cool shade and a pleas¬ 
ing appearance, but a crop 
of fine nuts as well.
