Shade Planting 
35 
After the necessary foundation, screen, and protective plantings have been properly 
accomplished, it is generally discovered that a bit of shade about the house, at ^-arious 
points on the lawn, would be welcome. The inviting presence of well-formed Shade Trees 
is always an appreciable addition to the dignity and impression of any grounds; and such 
trees grow to become almost as well known friends. 
The location of the house in respect to the street governs to great extent the placing 
of Shade Trees. 
Where the house is on the north side of the street and close to it, Sketch No. 19 
illustrates a good plan to follow in setting out shade trees: —

The row of trees on the west side block out the tiring rays of the afternoon sun. 
Where the house is some distance from the street, trees near the house will shade it while 
trees near the street not only dignify and dress the grounds, but afford comfort to passers 
by as well as providing a partial screen against dust, etc., as in Sketch No. 20.

When the house is on the south side of the street, an arrangement such as in Sketch 
No. 21 is good.
