Deciduous Trees 
The term deciduous is applied to trees the leaves of which fall 
in autumn. Laymen generally classify them as Ornamental 
Shade Trees. 
No home, no matter how small, need be without the joy and 
comfort of abundant shade. And the well-informed bring shade 
to where they want it. Trees are a real part of a home—the 
cheapest part, and frequently neglected. 
In selecting trees, the first question is, What is the purpose the 
trees are to serve—shade for the house, path or avenue; lawn¬ 
planting as single specimens or in groups; screens for undesirable 
objects, etc.? Whatever the purpose, you can select trees at 
Hicks Nurseries that are guaranteed to prove satisfactory.
