SHADE TREES NOT PREPAID UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED 
A broad open space of well kept lawn is the first essential 
of good landscape design, the base against which all else 
is viewed. Yet it is incomplete without trees to shield the 
house from the direct heat of the sun, and for ornament. 
Without trees as a background so the topmost branches ex- 
tend above and break the roof lines, and a few toward the 
ends to frame the view, the house appears lost in space. 
Once established, nothing will increase in value and give 
such good results with so little attention as shade trees. 
When planting remove any unnecessary weak limbs and 
shorten some others. The central shoot or leader is not 
pruned unless necessary to make the head more dense. As 
limbs develop higher remove the lower ones to the height 
desired. Plant firmly, and water as needed, especially first 
year,

Crab, Flowering; Malus 
One of the best groups of small trees for ease of growth, 
profusion and beauty of flowers. For the Midwest they are 
more satisfactory than the famed Japanese Flowering Cher- 
ries, give much the same effect, and are dependable. 
We offer the following fine varieties: 
Crab, Bechtel. Produces double pink flowers very similar 
to small roses in early spring. Grows 10 to 12 feet.

THE SENSATIONAL NEW 
Elm Coclshade 
LD. 
Elm, Coolshade, in the Gardens at Sarcoxie. 
(Inset shows ordinary Chinese Elm.) 
Undoubtedly the most beautiful Elm we have ever seen. 
It is a most practical all-purpose shade tree. Unlike the 
American Elm, it does not have large lateral limbs that are 
dangerous when overhanging the residence. It may be plant- 
ed close to the house without worry. We sincerely recom- 
mend this as the best elm we have ever known. Grows 35 
to 50 feet high.
