DECIDUOUS ORNAMENTAL AND SHADE TREES 
T HE final touch needed to complete a garden 
scheme is the proper placing of a desirable tree. 
A little thought given to selecting the best variety 
for a particular use is important. In a garden they may 
be used as accents; to outline paths and borders; to 
provide welcome shade; to furnish interesting patterns 
of light and shadow; to supply flowers, berries or foliage 
effects; or to add a feeling of quiet, restful repose for 
garden atmosphere.
