 plantings usually should be more formal, cleaner 

 and smaller than plantings in the country. They 

 can be given more attention. Because of these 

 points, Irish Juniper is a fine little tree for a city 

 lawn. Hemlock a more spreading and most grace- 

 ful evergreen for a roomier country yard. Norway 

 Maples and Cut-leaved Beech are good at city 

 homes, and good in country, too; but in the country 

 the Linden and Sugar IVIaple also are in place. 



You may plant for a very little money, or you 

 may spend a great deal. Of course, the cost of 

 planting depends on what you select. Some trees 

 are harder to grow in the nurseries than others, 

 and are worth four or five times as much by the 

 time they are ready for you. Check up the cost 

 as you make out your list. The cost will run 

 about as we have shown in the four sketches. 

 The sketch on page 22 shows a medium-sized 

 country planting, while those on pages 26 and 28 

 show large and medium-sized city plantings. 



FORMS WHICH PLANTING MAY TAKE 



"Why didn't I think of that when I planted?" 

 This is a question many people ask themselves 

 after their trees are set, and they see some 



Just a suggestion for making a side yard look its best. Twenty feet of 

 Privet hedge, using big plants that will give immediate effect, a Box plant, 

 two Grape-vines, a Clematis and a Wistaria. The totaJ cost of plants to 

 produce the result shown, is only $4.25.
