Ornamental Trees 
Wherever you find them, there is a charm about shade trees with their great, 
sheltering, shielding, leafy arms that spread in protection. Trees are needed to 
frame the views of the house and give protection from the sun and wind. There 
are many with beautiful flowers in the spring. 
They are usually shipped with bare roots while dormant, and when planted 
out make a rapid and luxuriant growth. The heights given refer to usual ultimate 
heights which may not be attained for some years. 
When 10 or more of one variety and size of shade trees are ordered we allow 
a 10% discount, 25 trees or more a 15% discount, 50 trees or more a 20 oj discount, 
100 trees or more, 25 cf discount. All must be one variety and size.
