Wisteria 
Shade Sprees '/Beautify the Lawn -j 
A broad open space of well kept lawn is the first essential 
of good landscape design, the base against which all else is view¬ 
ed. Yet it is incomplete without shade trees, both for protec¬ 
tion and ornament. Trees are needed to shield the house from 
Lombardy Poplar, excellent as an accent tree and for 
screen plantings 
the direct heat of the sun during the hottest part of the day. 
For beauty they provide a background and a frame for the house. 
For the latter purpose they are usually planted near the ends and 
a little to the front so one can view the house between and be¬ 
yond the trees. Once established nothing will increase in value 
and give such results with so little attention as shade trees. 
When planting remove any unnecessary weak limbs and short¬ 
en some of the others. The central leader is not usually pruned 
unless necessary to make the head more dense. As higher limbs 
form gradually remove the lower ones to the height desired. If 
plantd thickly or a rapid growing tree is alternated with a per¬ 
manent one for quick results, remove the temporary trees be¬ 
fore they become crowded. Otherwise, it requires several years 
f or those remaining to become shapely. Plant firmly and see 
that they do not suffer for lack of water the first year. 
Five or more of a kind at the 10 rate.
