Shade and 
Ornamental 
Trees 
Trees should be planted to frame the view of the house as well as to give shade where needed. 
This property planned and planted by Holm & Olson. 
HE attractiveness and comfort needed to complete a landscape setting is the proper placing of desirable 
trees. 
Thought given to selecting the best varieties for a particular use is important. 
In the border 
they may be used as accents, on the lawn to provide welcome shade, to cast interesting shadows, to supply 
flowers, fruit and foliage effects. 
A tree or group of trees add a feeling of quiet thoughtful repose to home 
atmosphere. We will gladly help you select suitable varieties for your grounds. 
Since trees reach their maturity slowly you can save years of waiting by using larger sizes. 
That you 
may better judge the time saved by planting older stock we give both the sizes and the approximate age 
with the prices in our catalog listing.
