Deciduous Trees for Screens and 
W mdbreaks 
B Y PROPERLY planting trees of quick-growing varieties in com¬ 
bination with slower-growing, more permanent sorts, it is easily 
possible in a few years’ time effectively to blot out objectionable 
views which may mar the outlook from house or lawn, at the same time 
by planting flowering trees, evergreens, or shrubs on the lawn side, pro¬ 
ducing an added attractive landscape feature. 
The trees, found in this category, comprise varieties which are valuable 
for the purpose, on account of their quick-growing qualities, as the Birches 
and Poplars, or for the charm of gorgeous fall coloring, as the Tupelo 
or Sassafras. The admixture of long-lived trees and flowering sorts with 
this group is advisable. In any mass planting of trees the quickest and 
most satisfactory results are obtained when the spaces between the trees 
are planted with an undergrowth of spreading shrubs, which protect the 
ground from drying out by sun and wind. See also page 139. 
For your greater convenience we have arranged these trees for screens 
and windbreaks in two groups, the one comprising the tall-growing sorts, 
and the other, those of medium height. 
GROUP I • TALL-GROWING 
Box Elder, or Ash-leaved Maple Acer negundo 
One of the most rapid-growing trees for windbreaks or screens, but short-lived 
and should be planted in combination with longer-lived species.
