Shade Trees 
ACER 
Saccharum (Sugar Maple). The best 
of the Maples and the most popular. 
Large oval-headed tree. The foliage 
turns to beautiful red and yellow in 
the Fall. Although a rather slow 
grower, it is a very desirable, showy 
shade tree. 
BETULA 
Nigra (Birch). Its silvery bark has 
a torn appearance of ragged, reddish 
brown. Though densely branched, 
it has a slender, graceful appearance. 
Sugar Maple 
LOMBARDY POPLAR 
Tall, upright grower. Good for screens. 
Chinese. A darker shade of green and 
a little more dense than ordinary Lom¬ 
bardy Poplar. 
MIMOSA 
Graceful, rather low, spreading growth. 
Pinkish-red flowers in July. 
PECAN TREES 
MAGNOLIA 
Grandiflora (Southern Magnolia). Well 
known Magnolia tree of the South, with 
large, glossy evergreen leaves; immense 
white flowers. 
We have recommended for several years 
that Pecan trees be used for shade. They are 
beautifully shaped and hold their foliage until 
cold weather. After the first freeze, they shed 
all their leaves in about two weeks, making it 
easy to keep the lawn clean around them for 
almost the entire year. 
QUERCUS 
Nigra (Water Oak). Handsome tree with 
round topped head. Leaves rather 
pear shaped. 
Phellos (Willow Oak). Broad, cone- 
shaped tree. Long, narrow, bright 
green leaves. The most popular Oak 
in this section. 
Virginiana (Live Oak). Slow growing, 
spreading evergreen. 
TEXAS UMBRELLA 
Medium to tall tree. Fine for lawns. 
Southern Magnolia 
WEEPING WILLOW 
Fine for wet spot.
