Prices on Shade Trees, NOT POSTPAID. If wanted by 
Parcel Post, 4 to 6 feet, largest mailable, and we will send

NOTE: We divide ornamental trees into two classes— 
those suitable for street planting, Class “A”; those suit¬ 
able for lawns, Class “B. ” Those that can be used for 
either are marked “AB. ” For large lawns many of the 
“A” class are desirable; note the letter after each va¬ 
riety. 
Many people are realizing nowadays that by expending 
a little time and study they can have well-kept and at¬ 
tractive looking grounds, adding to the beauty and com¬ 
fort of the home and increasing the value of the property. 
There is an ornamental deciduous tree for almost every 
purpose, whether for shade, for hiding objectionable sights, 
or for beauty or utility. Our list comprises all those va¬ 
rieties which are well adapted to our western climate. You 
will find many interesting trees suitable for your individ¬ 
ual tastes.
