Our suggestion for planting at a large home in country town or on farm 

 About twelve evergreens, 12- to 24-inch sizes, Spruces, Pines, Firs, Arbor- 

 vitaes, or Hemlocks, mixed, and a dozen Maples or other shade trees about 

 9 feet high. This planting should have more shade trees, such as long 

 lines along lanes or roads. Two hundred yards of Privet hedge are shown, 

 made with 18-inch plants. The entire lot of trees and plants would cost 

 about $25. 



be able to give them. Of course the purpose you 

 have in view limits selection to a list of three or 

 four kinds in any one class. Preparation for plant- 

 ing should be studied in three ways: Consider the 

 character of the place to be planted, the available 

 trees and plants, and how the work should be done. 



CHARACTER OF THE PLACE TO BE 

 PLANTED 



When you select trees and shrubs for planting, 

 remember that your location, and the kind of 

 place you have, call for certain types. Only a few 

 trees are good everywhere. To plant those not 

 suited to your conditions results at least in misfits; 

 but if you plant kinds adapted to your place they 

 will thrive and make you happy for years and years. 



Take the climate and moisture conditions, for 

 instance. In Delaware, Eastern Maryland and 

 Virginia, you may plant with perfect satisfaction 

 such odd shade and ornamental trees and shrubs 

 as Catalpa Bungei, English Yew, Bay trees. Mag- 

 nolias, etc., as well as the standard Maples, Ash, 

 Linden, Plane and Walnut. Even the tender kinds
