Helps Keep Your House 
Cool in Summer—Warm in Winter 
Shade trees are Nature’s home “air conditioners.” 
They will shade your home from the hot summer sun. 
In winter, they will allow the sun’s warm rays to help 
heat your house. 
“Shade trees increase home values,” say leading real 
real estate experts. 
There is no better investment than a few of these fine 
sturdy trees. Don't delay. Supply of Stern‘s selected trees 
is necessarily limited each year. Plant shade trees this 
fall for a lifetime of beauty, pleasure and comfort. 
The tree you plant this fall will provide shade and 
protection for generations to come. The satisfaction of 
seeing a strong young tree grow to stately maturity 
cannot be equaled. It is a monument that will always 
say: “He who planted me loved beauty.” 
Height after name indicates size at maturity. 
Trees are well branched except for new Crimson King 
and Harlequin Maple. Shade Trees are NOT PREPAID.
