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 chead. 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 fiourish, 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.

B. ALBA PENDULA. (Cut-leaf Weening White 
Birch). Those who know and admire the dis- 
tinctive characteristics ond beauty of the white 
Birch know it is unusual and do not expect to 
find it among ordinary listing of popular trees. 
And as it grows older the younger branches 
become pendulous. The contrast of Black and 
white bark are very beautiful.

FLORIDA RUBRA. (Pink flowering Dogwood). 
This is not a naw or uncommon tree, but one 
too often overlooked as a means of beautifying 
home grounds. The common white variety may 
be better known. but this pink flowering type 
affords the ‘oveliest display. Our trees are 
balled and burlapped to insure safe and sure 
growth. Like the white flowering kind, the 
leaves of this dogwood color attractively in the 
fall.
