“/ruce Department 
Here in the South and Southwest, where the sun does get hot, shade trees are a necessity. If best 
results are to be had in the planting of shade trees, consideration must be given to the selection of 
the tree as well as the planting and care of same thereafter. The trees we list below are native over 
a large area, and if planted carefully and given proper cultivation will succeed almost universally over 
the Southwest. White deep rich soil is best for all shade trees, some varieties should not be planted 
except on such soil.
