This screen of shrubs, Pine, Birch and Maple, separating the lawn from the flower garden. We have ma- 
terial to produce such results immediately. If properly fertilized, the foliage shoxild he dense the second year. 
Japanese Snowball bordering a grove of Maples, Oaks, Pines and Firs. This is the best way to encourage 
trees to grow rapidly. The shrubs hold the leaf mould and shade the ground. As a result the trees grow 
twice as fast as when on the bare lawn. 
If the trees are on a bare lawn, manure them annually in a circle as wide as the top.
