FLOWERING AND SHADE TREES 
Flowering and shade trees are really the backbone of a well planned garden. Trees planted in the parking strip cut down the 
glare and heat from the street and deaden traffic noises. Trees provide ideal background for shrubs and other plants; provide 
shade for the garden living areas. The flowering trees produce a display of color unequaled by any other class of plants. At our 
nursery you will find flowering and shade trees to suit almost any purpose. We will be happy to advise you as to the best kinds 
to suit your particular requirements.
