Ornamental Trees 
Prices on Shade Trees, NOT POSTPAID. If wanted by 
Parcel Post, 4 to 5 feet, largest mailable, add 20c for the first

Many people are realizing nowadays that by expending a 
a little time and study they can have well-kept and attractive 
looking grounds, adding to the beauty and comfort of the 
home and increasing the value of the property. There is an 
ornamental deciduous tree for almost every purpose, whether 
for shade, for hiding objectionable sights, or for beauty or 
utility. Our list comprises all those varieties which are well 
adapted to our western climate. You will find many interesting 
trees suitable for your individual tastes. 
NOTE: We divide ornamental trees into two classes—those 
suitable for street planting, Class “A”; those suitable for lawns, 
Class “B.” Those that can be used for either are marked “AB.” 
For large lawns many of the “A” class are desirable; note the 
letter after each variety.
