THE COMFORT OF MAPLES ON A HOT DAY 



But the practical person has to be shown, and 

 we are prepared to do it. You like to be out-of- 

 doors in summer, say on Sunday afternoons and 

 other such times? You can't be comfortable in the 

 glare of the sun; but if your yard is surrounded 

 with a line of Norway Maples, there will be plenty 

 of the finest kind of resting-places on the grass. 

 Out under those thick Maples it will be cool and 

 comfortable. It's just the place to take a paper 

 or a book, or to entertain visitors. 



The middle of the yard should not be planted. 

 There you want a smooth, open space of grass. 

 But around the edges — on the outside, instead of 

 a wire fence, have a Privet hedge about five feet 

 high and two feet thick. Inside this hedge you can 

 plant some lilacs if you wish, or some other flower- 

 ing shrubs. Maybe the ''sweet-sixteener" of your 

 house will want to plant some roses. There should 

 be eight or ten feet, usually, between the live fence 



rUpperi Just reaching "the comfortable stage." Five Sugar and 

 Norway Maples, two Norway Spruces and an Apple tree. Cost to plant, 

 with 9-foot Maples, 4-foot Spruces and 6-foot Apple, only $5. (Lower) 

 Two attractive homes at Seaford, Del. Eight p-foot Maples, two Pear

 of hedge — 3-foot Privet Total cost, only $18.
