Ornamental and Shade Trees 
The most attractive homes are those with a few well-placed ornamental trees around them. 
Shade trees around the farm or city home will not only add to its beauty and comfort, but also 
will greatly increase its value. The term deciduous is applied to trees the leaves of which fall in 
autumn; generally classified as ornamental shade trees. No home, no matter how small, need be 
without the joy and comfort of abundant shade. Trees are a real part of a home—the cheapest 
part, and frequently neglected. In selecting trees, the first question is: What is the purpose the 
trees are to serve—shade for the house, path or avenue; lawn planting as single specimens or in 
groups; screens for undesirable objects, etc. Whatever the purpose, we will be glad to help you 
select the proper trees for your particular needs.
