Ornamental Deciduous Trees 
A HOUSE never looks so well as when it is glimpsed between the arching branches of a nearby tree, or when it 
is nestled under the sheltering arm of a large tree. Trees are a protection from the rigors of Winter, and by 
transpiration they materially freshen the atmosphere during the Summer. A tree should be chosen for its 
form, color, texture and general habit of growth—in other words, for its contribution to the picture. The ultimate 
effect to be produced must be visualized and a decision made as to where a round, pointed or triangular outline 
is wanted; where a light, feathery texture or a dense mass is desirable, and where the colors must blend or contrast 
to strike an emphatic note. 
Trees selected for street and avenue planting should be symmetrical in character; long lived and should not 
be readily susceptible to injury from insects and smoke. For narrow streets the American Elm is one of the 
best trees on account of its high-headed characteristic growth. Its tall, vaselike form enables it to reach above 
houses that may not be set far back. The low, compact-headed types, such as the Sugar Maple, Pin Oak and 
Red Oak ought to be planted only on wide streets. 
There are two kinds of specimen plants; those which are used as single specimens, with full space allowed for 
their normal development, like the Japanese Maples, Dogwood, Birch, Magnolia, Silktree, and those which are 
used as ascent trees, as the Lombardy, Pyramidal Tuliptree on account of their columnar or pyramidal habit of 
growth. AH of our trees are hardy, field-grown stock and when digging them great care is taken to keep the root 
system intact. With reasonable care they will thrive and become a real part of your home.
