SHADE PLANTING 
37 
Where trees are to be planted about the house, they may be planted as near as 20 
feet apart. The distance apart should be partly determined by the parts of the house or 
lawn you desire to shade. By planting 20 feet apart immediate shade is provided. As 
trees grow larger, every other one may be removed. 
The cool, inviting shade of the Sugar Maple. 
Trees like this grow to be real friends.
