Shrubbery and Trees 247 



intermingling of evergreens with the deciduous 

 trees is very effective, and a mixutre of conifers 

 with deciduous trees will make screening very 

 dense. Conifers carry an expression of warmth 

 and life and are beautiful after the snow has 

 fallen on them. 



Deciduous trees can be planted to advantage dur- 

 ing the months of April and May, and evergreens 

 as late as June, though September and October 

 are the best months. A young tree should be 

 planted a few inches deeper than it stood before 

 transplanting. 



In mamifacturing communities where there is a 

 great deal of smoke it is best to plant those trees 

 which will survive these trying conditions. Some 

 very adaptable trees are the Norway maples, 

 ashes, and poplars. 



For seaside use, the pin oak, ash, poplar, and 

 Norway maple are advisable. 



Plane trees, lindens, or horse chestnuts should not 

 be placed in a position where they will be much 

 exposed. They are not over hardy.
