Most photos of or- 
namental trees 
shown in this book 
were taken in the 
Beatrice Chautauqua 
Park. Our city can 
justly be proud of 
this beautiful park; 
visitors are always 
welcome there, and 
find very good ac- 
commodations for a 
Picnic or other out- 
door activities. No 
cost to anyone. 
When you select a 
shade tree, it must 
fulfill all your re- 
quirements. For this 
reason we try to 
show you unretouch- 
ed snapshots of as 
many hardy trees as 
possible. We de- 
scribe each tree to 
you just as we know 
it to grow, and in 
some instances we 
show you a winter 
picture to give you 
a better idea of how 
a tree branches out.
