TREES FOR SHADE, SHELTER AND BLOOM 
When the hot summer sun beats down, you long for the welcome 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 are planted in the fall or spring when the 
weather is cool, however, we can now transplant trees any month of the year by Balling and Burlapping at extra cost. 
Then the roots take hold, the trees flourish, and in a surprising few seasons the out-spreading branches give the 
protection you desire. For immediate shade our Big Tree moving equipment handles large trees for immediate effect, prices 
on request. 
ACER — MAPLE 
A. DASYCARPUM, (Silver Maple). Because of its

mended.

Birch). Those who know and admire the dis- 
tinctive characteristics and beauty of the white 
Birch know it is unusual and do not expect to

C. FLORIDA RUBRA. (Pink flowering Dogwocd). 
This is not a new or uncommon tree, but one 
too often overlooked as a means of beautifying 
home grounds. The common white variety may

affords the loveliest display. Our trees are 
balled and burlapped to insure safe and sure 
growth. Like the white flowering kind, the 
ae of this dogwood color attractiveiy in the
