SHADE TREES 
HEDGES 
Under the greenwood tree who loves to lie with me, 
And turn his merry note unto the sweet bird’s throat— 
Come hither, come hither, come hither! 
Here shall he see no enemy 
But winter and rough weather. 
—Shakespeare. 
The shade tree is a symbol for rest and relaxation. 
Here is a select list that will give you plenty of shade, 
will add immeasurably to the appearance of your home, 
and do so at a most reasonable cost. They are fine speci¬ 
men trees—too large to mail—sent to you by express, 
charges collect. 
An ornamental hedge speaks for itself. It frames the 
lawn and gives it a background. On the smaller grounds 
the low hedges are used, while for larger grounds and for 
screening purposes, the larger growing kinds are used. 
In most cases they should be planted one foot apart.
