QUERCUS VIRGINIANA (Live Oak) 
Shade Trees 
Shade Trees should be a part of every home, for 
whether the grounds are large or small they provide not 
only beauty but a place to sit out in the air on a hot day. 
In addition to furnishing shade and coolness for the 
family, they provide the necessary protection from the 
sun that so many of our garden plants require. 
So cool and restful in their green clothing, in winter 
their bare branches are a joy to every lover of nature. 
Nothing can compare to the majesty of a full-grown tree. 
Nature gives us trees to keep us from feeling too impor¬ 
tant, and whether we hear the winds whistling through 
their branches in a storm, or listen to a gentle breeze 
merely rustling their leaves on a summer day, they have a 
calming influence on the spirit of humanity. 
Plant trees, and as you learn to know and love them 
you will find life broader and richer from their influence.
