Ornamental Trees and Plants 
In the building of a home in its truest sense of comfort and 
beauty it comprises not only the buildings themselves, but the 
grounds which surround, for the well planned grounds lend 
not only beauty and attractiveness, but comfort and con¬ 
veniences as well. The usual term of “Ornamental Trees and 
Plants,” therefore, does not really signify that such trees and 
plants are for ornament alone. The architecture of the house 
itself is brought out by the well planned planting, and the 
harmony of such surroundings will lend harmony and content¬ 
ment to the lives of those who abide therein. 
Shade Trees 
Trees are a proper background for every home planting, 
and they add as much to the beauty and comfort of the place 
as the house itself. The trees we list are native over a wide 
area, and if planted carefully and given proper cultivation 
they will succeed over almost the whole of the Southwest.

ASH, ARIZONA (Fraxinus velutina)—A rapid growing tree 
desirable for planting in the arid sections of the west, though 
it will also thrive on the coast and in other sections. Will 
flourish in alkaline soils and withstands drouth, requiring 
little water. 
ASH, GREEN (Fraxinus lanceoiata)—A native tree with fresh 
green foliage. Particularly suited to the west, where it 
seems to thrive better than in most sections. 
CHINA, TEXAS UMBRELLA (Melia azederach umbraculi- 
formis)—A dense spreading canopy topped tree which does 
not attain great height, but with wide-spreading branches. 
Tree makes quick growth and gives dense shade. Fragrant 
purple flowers are borne in spring, followed by numerous 
creamy yellow berries.

ELM, AMERICAN (IJlmus americana)—A native tree of ma¬ 
jestic height and great spread. Leaves handsome, branches 
graceful and arching, making it one of the best types for a 
shade tree. Ideal for street or lawn. 
ELM, CHINESE (Ulmus pumila)—An exceptionally rapid 
growing tree which is hardy, drouth resistant, and attains 
magnificent proportions with beauty and grace. The foliage 
is bright green, dense, and by some is termed semi-ever¬ 
green because it is one of the first trees to put on foliage in 
the spring and one of the last to shed its leaves in the fall.
