Ornamental Department. SHADE TREES. We have always made a specialty Of Shade Trees. Our large city trade in Fort Worth, and other cities, demands handsome, well-grown trees, and usually trees of large size, so that we handle much larger trees than most other nurserymen. We often sell China trees and Catalpas four to six inches in diameter. These are too large to ship, though we can and do ship very large trees by freight. We do not quote these large trees in our Catalogue, but will give prices on application. The growing of Shade Trees is not the problem now in Texas that it was a few years ago. When we came to Fort Worth, fourteen years ago, most people thought it folly to put out shade trees. The present appearance of its well-shaded streets is the best answer to this objec- tion. Even in the West, people need not despair of hav- ing handsome Shade Trees wherever they plant them. Umbrella Chinas, Sycamores, Mulberries, Elms and Catalpas will grow anywhere, while with a little care Maples, Box Elders, Ashes, etc., can be grown into as handsome trees as in any country. Read what we say about the cultivation of Fruit Trees. It is just as necessary to cultivate Shade Trees, at least for a few years. On lawns or sidewalks, where it is not convenient to plow, the ground should be kept well loosened and the grass kept away at least two feet on all sides of the trees. Our trees are all nursery grown, well rooted, have straight bodies, handsome tops, and will compare favorably with any in the United States. Parties desiring large numbers will find it to their in- terest to correspond with us for special prices. We will give you prices on trees delivered in your own town, and guaranteed in good condition. Notic
