Ornamental an r) Shade cJr 
rees 
The most attractive homes are those with a few well-placed ornamental trees around them. Shade trees around 
the farm or city home will not only add to its beauty and comfort, but also will greatly increase its value. The 
term deciduous is applied to trees the leaves of which fall in autumn; generally classified as ornamental shade 
trees. No home, no matter how small, need be without the joy and comfort of abundant shade. Trees are a real 
part of a home — the cheapest part, and frequently neglected. In selecting trees, the first question is: What is the 
purpose the trees are to serve — shade for the house, path or avenue; lawn planting as single specimens or in 
groups; screens for undesirable objects, etc. Whatever the purpose, we will be glad to help you select the proper 
trees for your particular needs.
