The lawns may be considered 
the canvas upon which the home 
picture is to be made, and trees and 
shrubs together with the buildings 
make up the most important ma¬ 
terials to be used in the work and 
no comfortable nor beautiful home 
can be made without them. Some 
shade trees about the house is an 
absolute necessity for comfort dur¬ 
ing the hot days of our summer 
months and much shelter may be afforded by them during our bleak 
and stormy winters. But more than this, they are necessary in many 
places to cover up unsightly or unpleasant objects, to open vistas or 
form the backgrounds for other ornamental materials and also for their 
own individual beauty and the variety they afford in their varying shades 
of color and form. The true lover of nature will find much pleasure in 
the study of the numberless forms and varieties, and especially in arrang¬ 
ing them to obtain the most real beauty possible.
