Those of you have new homes and have not planted shade 
trees probably realized the need for them on some of those 
hot days this past summer. Seems to us the first thing to do, 
after purchasing a home site, is to get in a few fast growing 
trees. By the time your home is ready for occupancy your 
shade will be waiting for you. 

WHITE BIRCH. Lovely in the lawn, alone or in groups.
