SHADE TREES AND SHRUBS 
Most arborists agree that a young tree or shrub will soon overtake a larger transplanted one. This 
rapid growth soon justifies their use with a great saving in effort and care. We have selected a few 
hardy ones which have proved themselves in northern Vermont.

around use. Tall, symmetrical for shade, unmatched
