Ornamental 
and Shade Trees 
Shade trees form the setting for the home or landscaped area, providing, 
in addition to hominess and restful shadows, color changing from season to 
season, frequently interesting fruits, and always a feeling of stability and per- 
manence. The selection of the proper varieties is of great importance and 
because of their permanent character should be selected with care. Greening 
trees are properly grown, pruned while growing for shapeliness and correctly 
planted will provide many years of real joy and comfort.
