In addition to the beauty and finish which trees give to the house, they also 
provide year round “air conditioning.”? The cool of the Summer shade is suc- 
ceeded by the warmth of the Winter sun after the leaves have fallen. In our list 
are selected those which are not only attractive but also those which are as free 
from pests and diseases as possible. The ultimate heights appearing after the 
names will help you select those best suited to your own home. The prices are 
quoted for nursery grown, properly transplanted trees with vigorous root systems 
to assure you success. 
Trees will be shipped by railway express. All items marked * are offered for sale
