Ornamental and Shade Trees 
Ornamental trees occupy a very important place in landscape decorations. They are often thought of chiefly for 
shade, yet there are varieties that vie with the choicest flowering plants in the wealth and beauty of their bloom and 
showy fruit. The foliage of some kinds turn into such gorgeous Autumn tints that they end the season in a blaze of 
glory.
