You build a house at great expense and it begins to deteriorate from the moment 
it is finished. You plant a good tree and it begins to increase in value and to en- 
hance the value of your property the moment it is planted. Well planted grounds 
reflect permanency and stability. 
acta ASH, AMERICAN GREEN-—A well known native tree; tall, very straight, with broad, 
‘ * round head; foliage dark green, changing to a beautiful yellow in the fall.

80 to 100 feet high, with drooping, spreading branches. One of the grandest trees 
and loved by all. 
ELM, CHINESE—Perhaps one of the most rapid growing trees in this section and 
is noted for its drouth resistance. Slender branches, leaves smaller than American

head.

thick and rough. Extremely hardy and takes the elements as they come.
