There is an ornamental deciduous tree for al- 
most every purpose, whether for shade, for hiding 
objectionable sights, or for beauty, or utility. Our 
list comprises all those varieties which are well 
adapted to our western climate. You will find 
many interesting trees suitable for your individual . 
tastes.

post as they are too large. Consequently we are 
quoting them net prices and they will be sent to 
you express or freight charges collect.
