Shade Trees 
Nowhere in the country is shade so acceptable or so necessary as in the South. Whether in 
park or city street, country road or lawn, shade trees are valued not as luxuries, but as necessities 
for health and comfort. Nothing adds more to the home grounds, nothing so improves the appear¬ 
ance of town or city, as well-placed, healthy, vigorous shade trees. 
I he list of trees which is offered to our customers we can strongly recommend for planting 
throughout the southern states. They are well grown, with straight stems and well-developed root 
systems. Grown in nursery rows for a number of years, they are vastly superior to the trees which 
may be obtained from the woods.
