SHADE TREES 
Ever since the creation of the Earth trees have had a prom- 
inent part in history. To the early inhabitants they supplied 
the necessities of life; shelter, fuel and food. In this advanced 
age, we appreciate them for their cool inviting shade in sum- 
mer, their beautiful coloring in spring and fall, and _ their 
interesting branches during the winter months. Trees should be 
planted wherever ihe opportunity offers; as living memorials 
to our thoughtfulness and patriotism. The addition of one or 
two trees planted around a house immediately transforms it 
into a home. 
We give below rough drawings showing approximately the 
shape of each variety at maturity under normal conditions. The 
shape and size of trees, however, can be controlled by pruning, 
thereby enabling you to attain unusual effects, at the same 
time increasing your joy and pleasure of ownership.
