SHADE TREES 
Here in the South and Southwest, where the sun 
does get hot, shade trees are a necessity. If best 
results are to be had in the planting of shade trees, 
consideration must be given to the selection of the 
trees as well as the planting and care of same 
thereafter. The trees we catalog are native over:a 
large area, and if planted carefully and given prop- 
er cultivation will succeed almost universally over 
the Southwest. While deep rich soil is best for all 
shade trees, some varieties should not be planted 
except on such soil.
