Excerpt from Shade Trees, Indigenous Shrubs and Vines: And Insects That Infest ThemA little time dev'oted by every family to the culture of shade trees and ornamental shrubbery, would add much to the healthfulness and beauty of our city, and would have a refining and elevating in¿uence upon its people.Every tastefully arranged and nicely kept yard invites every passer-by to a higher and better life, and is ajoy to the family forever. The growing children drink in its beauty, and make it a part of themselves as surely and naturally as they breathe their native air. Coarse, unlovely children, brought up in the midst of lovely surroundings, are impossible things.I wish to call attention to this subject, to urge its importance and give some little information upon it.Before planting a tree in any given locality, the first thing to determine is what tree will ¿ourish there.
