Our suggestion for planting at a small suburban or city home. You should 

 use half a dozen evergreens, same varieties as mentioned on page 28, in 

 12- to 24-inch sizes; about four shade trees, Maples, in lo-foot size, and 

 75 yards of Privet hedge, using 2-foot plants. If you choose large trees 

 for country planting, you should select small, more formal evergreen and 

 deciduous trees for town planting, as Golden Arborvitse, Irish Juniper, 

 Weeping Beech and Norway Maples. This planting would cost about $16. 



those of the country many miles to the north or 

 south, or of drier and rainier sections. If you Hve 

 in a valley you likely will have more moisture than 

 if you live on high land. The amount of rainfall in 

 your section must be taken into account also, and 

 do not forget the lay of the land — is your location 

 open to winter winds or is it protected? Does 

 your ground face north or south? Is the altitude 

 high or low? Are you close to large bodies of 

 water or in the mountains? All these things 

 influence the climate and moisture. Bear them in 

 mind, and plant accordingly. 



The nature of the surface of your ground needs 

 to be considered. If it is flat, we use dwarf or low- 

 growing trees and bushes only for borders along 

 walks or for beds, and plant tall, pointed or spread- 

 ing trees freely. Scotch Pine grows pointed, as do 

 a dozen other trees, such as Blue, Douglas and 

 White Spruces, Hemlock when given plenty of 

 room. Silver, White and Nordmann's Firs, Cy- 

 presses and Cedars, Ash-leaved, Silver and Red 

 Maples. Norway Maples, Chestnut, Texas Um- 

 brella Tree, and Walnut are round and spreading, 

 and look very picturesque in flat localities.
