SHADE TREES 
Good shade trees afford both comfort and beauty and in some cases, bloom, fruit 
and Autumn coloring as well as serve as a screen or background for other plantings. 
The following selection of varieties has been made up with those qualities in mind. 
We, however, are listing separately under “Flowering Trees,’’ a group planted 
especially for ornamental effect. Both groups are planted for shade. 
Sj 
ASH, American White (Fraxinus americana). Strong growers, spreading and giving 
excellent shade, yet not so dense as to destroy grass beneath the branches. Suitable 
for street and campuses, as well as on lawns, where space permits. 6-8 ft., $3.00 each, 
$33.00 per doz.; 8-10 ft. $3.75 each, $42.00 per doz.; 10-12 ft., $5.00 each; 2-214 in.

| | (Ulmus Pumila) | 
A comparatively new type of Elm in this country. How- 
ever, it has been used for ornamental purposes for hundreds 
of years in China, having been imported from Siberia. Re- 
sembles American Elm, but is more compact, has finer 
branches, less spread, and does not grow to be as large a tree. 
Suitable for streets, on home grounds, and other places where 
a fast growing, medium size tree is desired. Sends its roots 
deep into the soil, interfering very little with the grass. One 
of the fastest growers of all shade trees; also one of the first to 
come out in leaf in the Spring, and the !ast to lose its foliage 
in the Fall. Each Doz.

Trees make ideal gifts, not only being appreciated at 
the time, but will increase in value as the years go by.
