Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Trees for Shade, Shelter and Ornament
Trees are universally desired about the home. They have many and varied uses. By their grateful shade they screen us from the too fervid heat of the sun. They abate the winds and protect us from the chilling blasts of winter. Their leaves prevent the spread of germ laden dust and help to purify the air in other ways. They encourage the birds that charm us by their song and save our crops from many an insect injury. They lend a grace and beauty to every homestead and to every roadway that they border. In short, trees around and about the home make for health, comfort, and happiness. Where shall we plant, what shall we select, and how shall we care for these trees?
