SHADE and FLOWERING TREES 
The deciduous trees are man’s steadfast friends in the “dust 
and heat of the day.’’ Their great, green leaf-canopies give shade 
in midsummer; their buds are a joy in spring; their gorgeous 
foliage is the climax of autumn beauty. No home in our climate 
should lack its appropriate shade trees. They give the beautiful 
“upper story” to all the designs of flowers and evergreens. And 
they furnish so much real luxury in summer that they are in¬ 
dispensable. 
The flowering trees are among the most exquisite of all dec¬ 
orative plants. Little Tree Farms shade and flowering trees 
are of highest quality. Favorable soil and climate and constant 
attention produce lusty, well-rooted plants, ready to grow into 
handsome big trees. 
To those who prefer immediate effects we offer a splendid 
assortment of fine big specimens. Tell us your needs and let us 
quote you prices.
