Shade Trees 
AMERICAN ASH (Fraxinum Americanus). A fine 
drouth resistant tree for this semi-arid climate, and 
will tolerate most soil conditions. 
AMERICAN ELM (Ulmus Americana). An excellent 
native tree; with a broad spreading head which 
makes a splendid shade tree. It is long lived and 
hardy. 
ARIZONA ASH (Fraxinus Velutina). This is another 
good shade tree for our dry, hot climate. Has attrac¬ 
tive green foliage. 
BOLLEANA POPLAR (Poplus Bolleana). Tall, column¬ 
like shape, and silvery-gray foliage. A fine tree for 
accent purposes. 
LOMBARDY POPLAR (Populus Nigra Italica). Tall, 
column-shaped tree, which is very effective used as a 
background or accent. 
CHINESE ELM (Ulms Pumila). A remarkable tree be¬ 
cause of its great rapidity in growth; bright, fresh¬ 
looking foliage and compact shape. Stands drouth or 
cold, and retains its foliage until quite late in autumn. 
HACKBERRY (Celtis Missippiensis). Probably the 
sturdiest tree for all situations. Stands difficult city 
conditions better than most trees, and is more disease 
resistant. Is immune to cotton root rot sometimes 
found in the soil. 
JAPAN VARNISH (Sterculia Platanifolia). A most at¬ 
tractive shade tree, strong grower with smooth, green 
bark. 
LIVE OAK (Quercus Virginiana). This is the finest 
evergreen shade tree of our section; growing in 
beauty from year to year. Broad massive head, dark 
green foliage. 
TEXAS UMBRELLA CHINA (Melia Azederach Um- 
braculiformus). This is a very quick growing tree;

dense shade. Umbrella shaped head.

WE MOVE LARGE TREES 
Baker Bros, have made a specialty of the moving of large trees. Being an old and well 
established company, we have kept abreast with the times. Baker Bros, have trucks that are 
equipped with motor driven derricks and wrenches that are capable of lifting huge balls of 
earth. Trees moved in this manner do not require severe pruning or topping, but give immediate 
shade and effect. Write us, and we will be glad to furnish full details as to size, price, and 
varieties of trees that can be successfully moved.
