Ornamental and Shade Trees 
Th crc arc many fine ornamental and flowering trees which may be planted to 
great advantage, especially where a small or medium size tree is desired. Our 
shade trees are especially fine, all of which have been sprayed, pruned and 
transplanted at regular intervals. They are well-branched and have a fine root 
system. A few well chosen trees will reward you with an abundance of shade in
