Cuttings Shade and Ornamental Trees 
Bring beauty and comfort to your home landscape by wise selection and 
placement of trees. Trees are the backbone of nearly all landscape plantings. 
When planning your order give careful consideration to these important uses 
of trees: 
1. To provide shade in the desired locations on the lawn and near build- 
ings, at different times of the day. 
2. To frame the home and its views. 
3. To provide a background for gardens and buildings. 
4. To screen undesirable views. 
5. To protect from cold winter winds. 
6. To provide color in flower, foliage or fruit. 
“For trees, you know, are friends indeed, 
They satisfy such human need; 
In summer shade, in winter fire, 
With flower and fruit meet all desire, 
And if a friend to man you'd be, 
You must befriend him like a tree.’ 
—Chas. A. Heath
