Cole’s Small Ornamental Trees 
Some of the most desirable of the plants used for the beautification of the home grounds 
come under this heading. They are more dignified than the smaller shrubs, growing larger 
and finer each year, and they are not only glorious pictures when in bloom but are lovely at 
all times. 
We all admire a large tree, but there is a graceful friendliness about these smaller trees that 
endears them to all home-lovers. A few well-placed specimens will change the appearance of 
your grounds.
