ORNAMENTAL and SHADE TREES 
I N ADDITION to the trees which are valued for their sliade, there are flowering trees which, at different 
times during the spring and summer, shower the lawn with their bloom. Do not forget that while 
shade trees add materially to the property value and landscape charm of your home, the initial cost is very 
small as compared with the enjoyment that you receive. The average shade tree is a long Investment and 
returns your money manifold throughout the years of its usefulness. 
The abbreviation “cal.” means the caliper or diameter of the tree 6 inches above the ground. 
Trees where B&B. is indicated are dug with ball of earth and burlapped. For varieties not marked 
B&B., add 20 to 30 per cent additional to price listed for B&B., according to size of ball needed.
