ORNAMENTAL TREES 
NOTE: We divide ornamental trees into two 
classes 
"A"; those suitable for lawns, Class eBiatenose 
that can be used for either are marked ‘'AB”. For 
large lawns many of the “A” class are desirable; 
note the letter after each variety. 
Many people are realizing nowadays that by 
expending a little time and study they can have 
well-kept and attractive looking grounds, adding 
to the beauty and comfort of the home and increas- 
ing the value of the property. There is an orna- 
mental deciduous tree for almost every purpose, 
whether for shade, for hiding objectionable sights, 
or for beauty, or utility. Our list. comprises all 
those varieties which are well adapted to our west- 
ern climate. You will find many interesting trees 
suitable for your individual tastes. 
The ornamental trees cannot be sent by parcel 
post as they are too large. Consequently we are 
quoting them net prices and they will be sent to 
you express or freight charges collect.
