Shade Trees 
Although certain evergreen trees may be classed as shade 
trees, the term is usually reserved for quick-growing decidu- 
ous trees (without foliage in winter). Shade trees have a par- . 
ticular significance to California because ancient eims, poplars, 
and maples lining streets and highways testify to the foresight 
of early settlers. Even the Chinese gold-rushers immortalized 
their “diggings” by planting a special brand of good-luck tree 
wherever they paused to make their fortune. Most shade trees 
in our list are available for summer planting in handy contain- 
ers at slightly higher prices.

Maple.) Small tree, handsome because
