ORNAMENTAL AND SHADE TREES 
Here in the South where the sun does get hot it is essential that provision be made for 
shade by planting of ample shade trees. 
We are listing varieties suitable for almost every purpose for permanent shade, large 
areas we recommend the Chinese elm, the sycamore and the Arizona ash, for small 
spaces such as garden seats and shady nooks. In the back yards we recommend the 
umbrella (Catalpa Bungei), Texas umbrella and the weeping mulberry. These are not 
strictly shade trees, but do well where a little shade is required and add a touch of re¬ 
finement to any planting. 
Shade trees, like all other trees, need to be carefully planted, and they should be 
pruned at time of planting, but once established, will take care of themselves for a long 
time with little or no care. 
If you are not entirely clear as to just what variety will do best for the purpose 
where you desire shade, we will be very glad to help you make the selection if you 
will tell us what space you have available and the character of the soil.
