RAMSEY'S AUSTIN NURSERY 

SHADE TREES 
Shade Trees should be planted wherever needed for shade. In the Southwest there is 
need for more shade than has been provided in recent years. If a tree serves a good pur- 
pose, shade, screen, or other, it is appropriate. 
Nursery-grown trees have the best root systems, smooth, straight bodies, and live 
easily. Tops should be cut back considerably when trees are planted.

CYPRESS, Native. Taxodium distichum. 
One of largest growing trees, reaching 75 
feet, and five feet diameter. Found native 
in creek bottoms and swamps, but is equally 
as good on upland. Branches grow hori- 
zontally, making symmetrical top. Fern- 
like foliage.

ELM, Asiatic. This. we offer as one of 
the best shade trees. It is not fast growing 
but is dense of foliage, most symmetrical, 
and long-living. We doubt there is a pret- 
tier shade tree than one shown in picture. 
All trees make some litter when leaves fall, 
but this is truly a “clean” tree. As nearly 
adapted in all soils as any tree we know.

ELM, AMERICAN. The long-limb, fast- 
growing American Elm grows well in most 
soils and locations. 
ELM, CHINESE. One of the fastest 
growing trees known. Desirable for quick 
shade. Will not live in soil affected with 
root rot.

ASIATIC ELM. An unsurpassed Shade Tree. 

From S. D. B., Baird, Texas 
I feel sure that the first trees I ever saw 
men hig holes for, measure the distance, and 
put out (and I have passed my 69th Birthday) 
were the Ramsey trees, and hauled by wagon 
and team from somewhere near Austin. Mr. 
Frank T. Ramsey was a boy on the trip. I 
married in 1894 and two or three years later 
I got a bill of fruit trees from the Ramsey 
Nursery. I hope to live to make a 50-year 
old customer.
