DON’T FORGET 
those extra dividends that you get from shade trees... 
beautiful spring flowers and sometimes ornamental fruit 
as well. Shade trees are an absolute necessity here in the 
South, and for their dignity and height alone are a decided 
addition to any home grounds in the land. Of course, it is 
very necessary that the right tree be chosen for the spot 
it is to occupy. And here is where HOLMES can help you. 
Come to us for advice if you are in doubt about the tree to 
buy. Our landscape men can help you to visualize how it 
will look ten years from now and will keep you from making 
costly mistakes.
