Deciduous Shade and Blowering Trees 
PRICES QUOTED IN 5-GALLON CONTAINERS

lose their leaves during the winter months. All are hardy any- 
where, for among them are such familiar trees as Birch, Poplar, 
Sycamore and Elm. Their value lies chiefly in giving cool shade 
in summer and allowing the warm rays of the sun to penetrate in 
winter, when that is most desirable. Some are first rate tlowering
