Ornamental and Hardy Shade Trees 
This section of our nursery business requires a great many acres of land distributed in immense blocks to what¬ 
ever variety of soil is adapted to each peculiar kind of tree. 
In various latitudes, different climatic conditions prevail and accordingly affect vegetation so that it should be 
borne in mind to consult those who have had experience as to what is likely to thrive in a given locality rather 
than to plant trees at random. Our list of trees is not a large one, but we prefer to name only those that are certain 
to thrive within a reasonable distance of Chicago, and have always this in mind. We shall be pleased to advise 
at any time as to the best kind to use for a given purpose in any locality. 
We are always pleased to allow personal selection by our customers for particular ornamental trees, but in no 
such case will list apply, extra charges will be made for such service.
