SHADE TREES AND EVERGREENS 



having for the space where clothes are dried. 

 This will help on windy days, will insure privacy 

 as to the state of your washable wardrobe, a matter 

 which is no one's business but your own, anyway, 

 and will make the dr>'ing operation cleaner by 

 decreasing dust in the air. On the average farm 

 it wouldn't be a bad idea to screen off the woodpile, 

 either, though it may not be necessarv^ to protect 

 it from dust. It seldom is neat enough to be 

 exhibited to admiring visitors. 



HELP TO GARDENS BY SHADE TREES 



A thick row of shade trees will modify the tem- 

 perature of a garden or field. The complete ex- 

 planation of how this comes about is rather lengthy, 

 and involves more than one would suppose at 

 first glance. Both the soil and the air average 

 warmer in a protected area. You can plant stuff 

 in the spring one or two weeks earlier, and the 

 freezing date in the fall is later by an equal time. 



Tender vegetables that you could not grow at 

 all in the open garden can be produced with perfect 

 success in a garden with shelter-belt protection. 

 The moisture in your garden will not evaporate 

 nearly so fast if you have plenty of tree protection. 



Example of good planting for farm or small town, where there is plenty 

 of space. The little Evergreens in the foreground are Arborvitae, Juniper 

 and Spruces, the shrubs are Snowballs, while all the shade trees are 

 Maples. Everything in sight, excepting the Canna beds, could be bought, 

 in good planting sizes, for $15.
