SHADE AND ORNAMENTAL TREES 
Protection from the sun is demanded in our Southern climate. Most of the Ornamental Trees 
provide such shade for the homegrounds, and their spreading branches shelter the passer-by on 
street and highway. They are needed as a border for the lawn and to frame the views from 
the windows of the house. Shade trees protect against high winds, furnish privacy to the home, 
and screen out undesirable views. 
Grown in our nursery rows for a number of years, our Shade Trees are vastly superio.r in every 
way to trees which may be obtained from the woods and transplanted to the home grounds.
