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. 5 j 
Nursery-grown trees have the best root systems, smooth, straight bodies, and live 
easily. Tops should be cut back considerably when trees are planted.

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.
