SHADE AND FLOWERING TREES 
This list includes the taller growing plants generally considered as trees, 
although some can be used as tall shrubs. Oaks, Birch, Magnolia, Thorns 
and Willow are best planted in early spring. Most of the rest are success- 
fully planted either spring or fall if given good care. 
We have many items that are not listed which are not plentiful enough 
to list or in sizes that must be priced individually.
