ORNAMENTAL TREES 
Ornamental trees should correctly be classified in two groups, those best for 
shade such as street trees and the smaller varieties; each of the latter having special 
features of its own, such as the red leaves of the Japanese Bloodleaf Maple, the 
early Spring flowers of the Dogwood and the vivid magenta blossoms of the 
Redbud. Every yard should contain one or more ornamental trees for shade and 
beauty.
