For Shade and Beauty 
“Nilo place is complete without trees. A home without 
trees is charmless; a road without trees is shadeless; 
a park without trees is purposeless; a country without 
trees is hopeless.” 






ef 
\Y/HEN hot summer sun beats down, you long for the wel- 
come shade of a Maple, an Oak, or a broad-spreading 
Elm. But to have and enjoy such shade and shelter, you must 
plant ahead. The trees must be planted in fall or spring 
when the weather is cocl. Then the roots take hold, the tree 
flourishes, and in a surprisingly few seasons the outspreading 
branches give the protection you desire. 
We can supply—at very low prices—large trees that will 
give immediate effect, as well as smaller specimens from 6 
to 15 feet high, which need a little more time to develop after 
moving to your place. Our trees are well grown, root pruned, 
and transplanted several times; they are truly Hillenmeyer 
standard.

when young but as it matures develops a

eventually almost touch the ground. Because 
of its deeply serrated leaves, white bark and

prized trees for small lawns, cemetery lots, 
planted as a specimen or in groups.
