SHERMAN, TEXAS 
Shade Trees 
ELM, MOLINE (IJlmus americana moline)—A tall pyramidal, 
graceful tree, its growth being dominated by its central 
leader, while the lower branches attain more horizontal form. 
Very desirable and beautiful where extreme spread is not 
wanted. A rather rapid grower. 
HACKBERRY (Celtis Missippiensis)—Doubtless the most widely 
planted tree in Texas. A native tree which will give reason¬ 
ably quick shade and which will withstand the heat of our 
summers. It is often rather hard to transplant but it is a 
rapid grower when once established. 
LOCUST, BLACK (Robinia pseudoacacia)—Popular for shade 
in the West, as well as for windbreaks. Foliage lacy and 
fresh green, flowers white and sweet scented. 
MULBERRY, RUSSIAN (Morus alba tatarica) — A tree of 
quick growth and abundant dark green foliage. Fruit of no 
value. Exceedingly desirable for planting in semi-arid sec¬ 
tions, particularly in Western Texas, Western Oklahoma 
and Kansas. 
OAK, Common Red (Quercus rubra)—The fastest grower of 
the Oaks and most widely known. Makes a magnificent tree 
of stately form, ideal for avenue and roadside planting, as 
well as for private grounds. Foliage rich green, deeply cut, 
and showing gorgeous colors of reds and yellows in fall.
