uous 
Trees 
N O MATTER whether the grounds be of large extent or of small 
size, the value of trees as a basis of arrangement of the home- 
grounds or landscape design is most important. Nothing else can 
impart that quality of quietness and appearance of permanency that is 
lent by fine trees. Many times we attempt a short-cut in our eagerness to 
obtain this effect quickly by the use of very rapid-growing trees which 
unfortunately are not long-lived and from the very nature of their quick 
growth of soft wood are exposed especially to the dangers of ice- and wind¬ 
storms. In planting 
groups of trees as in 
screens or windbreaks, 
the use of the more 
rapid - growing vari¬ 
eties is justifiable pro¬ 
vided there are also 
used a proper number 
of more permanent, 
slow-growing trees to 
take their places later 
on.
