SHADE AND ORNAMENTAL TREES 



The appropriate use of trees and shrubs in the adorn- 

 ment of city, village, suburban or country home grounds 

 gives a charm and beauty which is interesting and pleas- 

 ing to passersby as well as to the occupants of the house. 

 In arranging home grounds the aim should be to hide, by 

 means of trees and shrubbery, all objectionable build- 

 ings or portions of the place, and also to shut from view 

 all unsightly objects maintained by neighbors.
