Ornamental Trees

Barr’s Shade and Ornamental Trees 
For shade or for ornament the Deciduous Tree is a necessity for the home grounds. 
In the wealth of their stately trees lies the beauty of many old homesteads. New homes 
without trees to add to their desirability, comfort and value, stand out bare and repellent. 
Figures accompanying descriptions 
indicate ultimate height which those 
varieties will attain.
